Summary

This study tested the drug ibrutinib in 35 people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who still had small amounts of cancer after their first treatment. The goal was to see if ibrutinib could clear those leftover cells from the blood and bone marrow. Participants took ibrutinib pills, and doctors checked for signs of cancer over time. The study looked at side effects and how long the cancer stayed away.
