Venetoclax combination safety check for CLL patients
This study looks at a potential side effect called hemolytic syndrome (where the body destroys its own red blood cells) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who are treated with a drug called venetoclax combined with another therapy. It aims to make sure this treatment is safe and to better understand the risk.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT07694141Recruiting
