What is being tested?
The trial tests a combination chemotherapy using venetoclax and navitoclax on patients with relapsed leukemia/lymphoma. It aims to find the best dose when combined with either blinatumomab (for CD19-positive patients) or high-dose cytarabine (for CD19-negative patients), comparing results against past data.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include digestive problems, liver issues reflected by increased enzymes, fatigue, potential impact on heart function, lowered resistance to infections due to weakened immune system response from chemotherapy drugs involved.
