New drug aims to fight cancer without harming the heart

NCT ID NCT06757647

Summary

This study is testing a cancer drug called acalabrutinib for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). It focuses on patients who had to stop a similar drug, ibrutinib, because of heart-related side effects. The main goal is to see if switching to acalabrutinib can effectively treat the cancer while also improving or protecting heart function, measured by detailed heart scans.
