First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study tests whether a combination of two non-chemotherapy drugs (vemurafenib and obinutuzumab) causes fewer side effects than the standard chemotherapy-based treatment (cladribine plus rituximab) for people with untreated hairy cell leukemia. About 86 adults with a specific genetic mutation (BRAF V600E) will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments. The goal is to see which approach is safer and better at eliminating cancer cells.
