New hope for hairy cell leukemia: Chemo-Free combo tested

NCT ID NCT06561360

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

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 and rituximab) in people with untreated hairy cell leukemia. About 86 adults with a specific gene mutation (BRAF V600E) will participate. The goal is to see which approach is safer and more effective at clearing cancer cells.
