I am curious. Has anyone out there started with Venetoclax as the first line in treatment of CLL with 17p deletion? Cannot take Ibrutinib due to history of A-fib.

Hi 17pdeletion,

You should ask that question of one of the top CLL expert doctors running Venetoclax clinical trials at the major US hospitals. Your concern may be warranted, but I am not certain if it absolutely excludes you from Ibrutinib. Idelalisib is also an alternative with a different side effect profile.

If you lock/restrict/edit your original post to only be viewed by members of this community (not Everyone), and tell us where you live, we may be able to suggest a great doctor that is more qualified to answer your inquiry than we can.
