For people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL)
For Previously Untreated
A clinical study evaluated 2 groups of patients with previously untreated CLL. There were 291 patients who received CALQUENCE + venetoclax and 291 patients who received chemoimmunotherapy.† The primary measurement of the study was progression-free survival (PFS), which is the amount of time patients were on treatment before their cancer started growing or spreading.
CALQUENCE + venetoclax reduced the risk of cancer growth or spread vs chemoimmunotherapy†
At a median‡ follow-up of 42.6 months, 69% (202 of 291 patients) receiving CALQUENCE + venetoclax lived without their CLL growing or spreading vs 67% (195 of 290 patients) receiving chemoimmunotherapy.* Individual results may vary.
*Designed to be completed as prescribed in 12.9 months (fourteen 28-day cycles) unless your doctor tells you to stop. Your doctor will monitor you while on treatment, and will stop treatment if your disease progresses or if you develop certain side effects.
†Fludarabine + cyclophosphamide + rituximab (FCR) or bendamustine + rituximab (BR).
‡Median is the middle number in a group of numbers arranged from lowest to highest.
In a clinical study, 535 patients with previously untreated CLL received CALQUENCE alone (179 patients), CALQUENCE plus immunotherapy¶ (179 patients), or chemoimmunotherapy# (177 patients). The primary measurement of the study was progression-free survival (PFS), which is the amount of time patients were on treatment before their cancer started growing or spreading.
