Dr. Jeffrey Jones on the Efficacy of Venetoclax in Treatment for CLL
Jeffrey Jones, MD, discusses small molecule inhibitors of B-cell receptor signaling in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
Jeffrey Jones, MD, assistant professor of Internal Medicine, Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, discusses small molecule inhibitors of B-cell receptor signaling in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Jones says both idelalisib and ibrutinib have been highly effective in the majority of relapsed/refractory CLL.
Jones says that while idelalisib and ibrutinib have been effective overall, there is a small group of patients who cannot receieve the treatment. He says that a different option for patients who cannot undergo those treatments are BCL-2 inhibitors like venetoclax. He adds that in a recent study, venetoclax has proven to be effective in the patient population with CLL who cannot receieve idelalisib and ibrutinib due to toxiticies or high-risk genetic features.
