New hope for easing the exhaustion of leukemia

NCT ID NCT02131584

Summary

This study is testing whether a drug called ruxolitinib can help reduce severe fatigue in people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who are not yet receiving standard anti-cancer therapy. About 10 participants will take the pill twice daily for up to two years. The main goal is to see if the treatment significantly improves patients' energy levels and overall symptom burden.
