First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding the targeted drug ibrutinib to standard chemotherapy (FCR) can eliminate all traces of leukemia in younger, previously untreated patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). About 85 participants will receive the combination and then be monitored for deep remission. The goal is to see if this approach leads to long-term disease control without the need for ongoing treatment.
