Dr. Davids on Cost Effectiveness of Time-Limited Therapy With Venetoclax/Obinutuzumab in CLL
December 20th 2019Matthew S. Davids, MD, MMSc, associate director, Center for Lymphocytic Leukemia, physician, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and assistant professor of medicine, Harvard Medical School, discusses the potential cost effectiveness of a 12-month fixed duration of venetoclax (Venclexta) in combination with obinutuzumab (Gazyva) in first-line chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
Dr. Lampson on Safety and Efficacy of Acalabrutinib, Venetoclax, and Obinutuzumab in CLL
December 9th 2019Benjamin L. Lampson, MD, PhD, medical oncologist at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, discusses preliminary safety and efficacy results from a phase II study of acalabrutinib (Calquence), venetoclax (Venclexta), and obinutuzumab (Gazyva) in patients with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
Liso-Cel Continues to Show Promise in Relapsed/Refractory CLL/SLL
The CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy lisocabtagene maraleucel showed promising clinical activity and manageable toxicity in heavily pretreated patients with high-risk chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma, all of whom had progressed on ibrutinib.
Zanubrutinib Effective in CLL/SLL, Regardless of Del(17p) Status
The BTK inhibitor zanubrutinib continues to demonstrate high overall response rates for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma, regardless of the presence of high-risk cytogenetics.

December 9th 2019John F. Seymour, MBBS, PhD, clinical hematologist, associate director of Clinical Research, Peter MacCallum Centre, director of the integrated Haematology Department of the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and the Royal Melbourne Hospital, discusses the 4-year update of the phase III MURANO trial in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
Ibrutinib/Rituximab Combo Retains PFS Advantage Over FCR in CLL
With extended follow-up, progression-free survival continues to be superior with the combination of ibrutinib and rituximab compared with fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab for patients ≤70 years with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Frontline Ibrutinib/Venetoclax Combo Leads to High Rates of Undetectable MRD in CLL
December 8th 2019The first-line combination of ibrutinib (Imbruvica) and venetoclax (Venclexta) led to a 75% undetectable minimal residual disease rate in peripheral blood and 72% in bone marrow in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Acalabrutinib Alone or in Combination Improves PFS in Frontline CLL
December 7th 2019Acalabrutinib (Calquence) as a single agent or in combination with obinutuzumab (Gazyva) significantly improved progression-free survival compared with obinutuzumab plus chlorambucil in treatment-naïve patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
