Nitin Jain, MD, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, reports favorable long-term outcomes for patients with IGHV-mutated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) treated with ibrutinib, fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and obinutuzumab (iFCG) in a Phase II trial (NCT02629809). This trial yielded a high rate of undetectable measurable residual disease (MRD) in bone marrow and a six-year progression-free survival (PFS) upwards of 92%. Despite these promising results, the CLL landscape is shifting away from chemotherapy, potentially limiting the clinical adoption of this regimen. This interview took place at the 65th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in San Diego, CA.
