Summary
This very early study aimed to compare an oral (pill) version of the chemotherapy drug cladribine with the standard IV (vein) version in people with certain leukemias. Only 3 people took part before the study was stopped early. The main goal was to see how the body handles the oral form and to check for side effects.
