Hi everyone,
Just wondering here, trying to chart out various future scenarios. (You know how it goes.)
Say someone's treated with Venetoclax and Obinutuzimab, the classic one-year treatment, then they're off all CLL meds for a couple years.
Now, say they need re-treatment (after a couple years).
I know that V+O is repeatable, and I also know the longer the time between V+O treatments, the better.
So: imagine, for a second-line treatment, the patient/doctor chose not V+O, but Acalabrutunib.
Were the patient to be one that drug (A) for several years, and if that drug were to eventually stop working, could the patient then go (way) back to V+O for a third treatment?
At this point, like, maybe 10 years might have passed since V+O was first used.
I ask because I only ever hear of V+O being repeated sequentially, not with another med--maybe many years' worth of said med--in between the V+O.
Have at it!
... Oh, and yeah, I realize no one really knows. Just wondering what ya'll think.
