I subscribe to Newsmax Health, and this was just released. I've seen this 'in trial' drug mentioned recently for CLL, and this looks like a promising new drug option. The manufacturer is going to submit the drug next year for approval.

"Verastem's drug, Duvelisib, showed a superior progression-free survival rate than the current standard of care, Novartis's Arzerra (ofatumumab), when tested on patients suffering from cancers that affect cells of the immune system, Verastem said."
