New combo aims to control blood cancer, offering hope for treatment breaks

NCT ID NCT04458610

Summary

This study is testing a combination of two drugs, zanubrutinib and rituximab, for people newly diagnosed with a type of blood cancer called chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The main goal is to see if this treatment can control the cancer well enough that patients can safely stop taking the drugs for at least six months without the disease getting worse. Researchers will also study how long these treatment breaks last and if the same drugs can work again if the cancer returns.
