A new treatment combo let 17 CLL patients stop daily meds for up to 2 years while staying in remission.
A phase I trial shows that combining the experimental antibody ianalumab with ibrutinib allowed 17 chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients to stop daily treatment for 12 to 24 months while maintaining remission.
The combination, tested in 39 patients who had not responded well to ibrutinib alone, was safe with manageable side effects and led to undetectable measurable residual disease in 43.6% of participants.
Nearly 60% responded to treatment, and infection rates were lower than expected.
Researchers say the approach may enable time-limited therapy, improving quality of life, but larger studies are needed to confirm long-term effectiveness.
