Dear Friends and Supporters of the CLL Society,
New this week!
Dr. Koffman, our Chief Medical Officer, provides an update on COVID-19 focusing on CLL patients.
Where we get information about our CLL is important. We are grateful to see that experts, patients, and caregivers are all recognizing the CLL Society as a reliable and robust source of information. The more we “frontload” our CLL knowledge, the better.
Dr. Koffman updates his blog with good news about his latest lab results 2 weeks after stopping ibrutinib.
Novel Triple Therapy Combination shows promise in Phase I Clinical Trial for R/R CLL and Richter’s patients. Now enrolling for Phase II.
