Unsure and a little nervous

[Granny12]

Well I have been on ibrutinib for over 4 1/2 yrs now and I guess my body has started to become resistant to it.I was told when I started it would probably be around 2 yrs if it was going to do so, at the 2 yr mark I felt blessed and that I had this even though I'm high risk so now they want me to go on combination study of ibrutinib and ABT - 199 anyone else out there doing this ?

Hi Granny12,

There are atleast 5 regular contributors to this group on trials combining Ibrutinib and Venetoclax, several have reach MRD negative and are stopping treatment after 12 to 18 months without progression.

If you look at the far upper right corner of this page - there is a box marked "Search CLL Support Association" then enter "Venetoclax Ibrutinib" you will get a long list of postings and discussions on your exact subject.

Below are examples- but if you do your own search there will be embedded links you can use to view each thread.

i am glad ibrutinib gave you a good run, long enough that there are some great options to turn to. you've got this. best wishes!!

I am on a Venetoclax plus Ibruvica trial. I am doing well so far. My WBC is down to 2.1. Venetoclax is strong on the CLL with out many side effects. Doctors just have to make sure it is ramped up slowly. It dropped my WBC in half on just 1/20 of the regular dose.

I am 17p deleted and thus high risk.

What is your genetics ?

I am on I+V as well. A few side effects from Ibrutinib, but nothing when the V was added. I hope you can get into a trial or get the V added.
