ASH 2025 | Drivers of racial and ethnic disparities in access to frontline CLL therapy in the US

Jacqueline Barrientos, MD, MS, Mount Sinai Medical Center, Miami Beach, FL, discusses the disparities in access to frontline therapies for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in the United States. Dr Barrientos notes that African-American and Hispanic patients are less likely than White patients to receive preferred novel targeted agents, which is driven by racial and socioeconomic factors, including lack of internet access, transportation, and medical care. This interview took place at the 67th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in Orlando, FL.
