Cllcanada just posted trial commencing in Mass.USA of Ibrutinib + R v FCR. Can anyone answer the question 'What has happened to the Flair T

[SimplyauburnUK]

Trial ( same drugs ) which was intended to start at Cambridge UK(possibly elsewhere) early 2014 also for previously untreated patients'?

[Cllcanada Top Poster CURE Hero]

The trial was just announced and no locations are open. It will expand over the next 6 months, in the U.S.A.

Perhaps this trial will be used as a template for other trials in the U.K., you will have to check the various U.K. databases... perhaps Janssen will fund similar trials in Europe... I don't know.

Watch and wait, as with all things CLL.

Yes, FLAIR is due to open with a start date of approximately April 2014 in the UK.

It will be open at multiple sites.

[dotty2dot in reply to CLLSA]

Do you know which sites yet?

[PaulaS Volunteer in reply to dotty2dot]

I was about to ask the same question, Dotty... (ie which sites in the UK)

[CLLSA CLLSA]

I do not know which sites will be involved, but St Bartholomew's is one of the planned centres.

This will be well announced amongst the medical and patient CLL community before FLAIR opens in the UK, so more information to come.

[dotty2dot in reply to CLLSA]

Ok, thank you.

Are you talking about Trenada and Rituxan? My oncologist would not use FCR on me because of his experience and clinical data showing the great stress on the immune system. I used these drugs with WBC of 225K.
