Scoring System for the Risk of Heart Problems in CLL Patients Treated with Ibrutinib: An Italian Model
An Italian scoring system worked better than 2 other risk models for predicting which patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients who were administered
ibrutinib
would later develop potentially life-threatening heart rhythms.

Ibrutinib and pets
My wife just started
Ibrutinib
3 days ago. We have dogs and indoor only cats. I am the one who does poop patrol for the dogs but she often looks after the litter boxes for the cats. Should we be concerned about this The cats are only indoor pets.

Discontinuation of ibrutinib
My mother continues taking
ibrutinib
, almost 3 years now and doing fine. But right now she has to prepare for a digestive endoscopy, which is ineluctable, so she has to discontinue
ibrutinib
treatment.

Factors affecting pricing for Ibrutinib and Venetoclax
The gaming of the US Patent system by Big Pharma makes critical drugs very expensive. https://www.axios.com/big-pharma-abbvie-humira-patents-mergers-6345f5cc-0d23-4fdd-bd1b-1965d3758ae4.html

Anyone on Eliquis and ibrutinib, or other CLL med?
I've read a Mayo Clinic article discussing the use of
ibrutinib
and blood thinners due to afib, re-introducing
ibrutinib
at 280 mg dosage. Frequent monitoring is required. I'm wondering about other CLL meds and Eliquis-type Rx as I'll soon have to make this decision.

Ibrutinib, is it working for me?
One is psoriatic arthritis and prior to going on
ibrutinib
I was on subcutaneous methatrexate 20 mgs once a week. It was stopped as a precaution to go on
ibrutinib
. Within 11 days almost all the CLL symptoms had gone. Later I had general surgery to remove a 5 inch infected cyst on my back.

Ibrutinib side effects
My husband is taking
Ibrutinib
for CLL and one of his many side effects is very dry skin and constant cracking and peeling of his finger nails - to the point of great pain. Does anyone in the group have suggestions for treating it? Thank you

Achey hips
Started treatment
ibrutinib
at 49 and I noticed that although you get aches from
ibrutinib
I didn't get achey hips anymore. Went dancing at a soul night on Saturday I know I should grow up but love dancing and it's probably because of that that I now have my achey hips back.

Ibrutinib and permanent afib
Hemotolgist says to take
ibrutinib
and no to Warfarin, cardio says
Ibrutinib
could cause congestive heart failure and I need to take Warfarin but they haven't given me a prescription for it.

Dr. Shadman on Fixed Durations of Treatment in CLL
[i]"Last year, many patients would likely opt for a chemoimmunotherapy regimen as opposed to an oral drug like
ibrutinib
(Imbruvica) because it is a fixed duration of treatment, says Shadman.
