First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 18, 2026 · Updated 33 times
Summary
This study tested the drug ibrutinib in 35 people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who still had small amounts of cancer cells 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 minimal residual disease (MRD) over time. The approach aims to control the disease long-term, not cure it, since ongoing treatment is needed.
