Pharmac proposes funding two CLL combo therapies in NZ from May 1, 2026, following public consultation.
Pharmac is proposing to fund two combination therapies—venetoclax with ibrutinib and venetoclax with obinutuzumab—for first-line treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) in New Zealand, starting May 1, 2026.
The oral treatments aim to extend remission, reduce chemotherapy use, and improve quality of life.
Patients currently receiving treatment privately may continue in private clinics if they met funding criteria before approval.
The proposal follows public consultation open until March 4, 2026, and is part of broader efforts to expand cancer care, including stem cell transplants and faster treatment access.
