Study Summary

This trial is testing whether adding venetoclax to ibrutinib might help people with CLL or SLL that is not responding or no longer responding to ibrutinib alone.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with CLL or SLL that's not improving on Ibrutinib alone. Participants must have been on Ibrutinib, be able to become pregnant and agree not to during the study, and have good blood, liver, and kidney function. Exclusions include significant heart disease history, active hepatitis B/C, severe liver impairment, CNS leukemia/lymphoma, certain prior cancers or surgeries.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a combination of Venetoclax with high-dose Ibrutinib (up to 840 mg daily) in patients whose CLL/SLL isn't responding to just Ibrutinib. The goal is to see if this combo can better reduce cancer cells. Both drugs are FDA-approved separately but used together at these doses is experimental.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include diarrhea, bleeding problems due to low platelets count; infections because of low white blood cell count; fatigue; muscle and bone pain; rash; nausea; fever; constipation.

Has the Food and Drug Administration given its stamp of approval to Ibrutinib?

"Since this is only a Phase 1 trial, suggesting limited evidence regarding efficacy and safety, our team at Power has assigned Ibrutinib a rating of 1."

Answered by AI

Have other clinical trials explored the efficacy of Ibrutinib?

"Presently, there are 343 studies actively looking into the possibilities of Ibrutinib with 45 trials in their third phase. Toronto, Ontario is home to a majority of these clinical investigations though 11701 other locations across have been allocated for research as well."

Answered by AI

Is the study still open to recruitment?

"Unfortunately, this clinical trial is no longer seeking participants. The study was initially published on May 1st 2018 and last updated six days later. However, there are currently 1523 trials for leukemia patients recruiting volunteers as well as 343 studies involving Ibrutinib that are still enrolling individuals."
