I won't qualify having been diagnosed 3 year ago, but if you've been diagnosed within 12 months and are asymptomatic this looks promising.

Testing Early Treatment for Patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL)

Interesting. I wonder how easy or different it will be to get willing participants. I’m on the no way in hell side because there is a percentage of W&W folks that will never need treatment so why risk taking meds that may cause other issues. I’m sure there is much to learn in this study.

Only patients at higher risk of their CLL progressing to treatment are eligible for this trial.

“Participants must have CLL-International Prognostic Index (CLL-IPI) score >= 4 and/or complex cytogenetics (defined as 3+ chromosomal abnormalities)”
