New study checks bleeding risk when CLL drug meets blood thinners
NCT ID NCT05517265
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study observed 45 people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who were taking the drug acalabrutinib (Calquence) along with a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC), a type of blood thinner. The main goal was to see how many patients had serious bleeding events while on this combination. The study did not test a new treatment but aimed to gather real-world safety data to help doctors manage bleeding risks.
