chlorambucil

[Miee]

Hi everyone,

I think that chlorambucil was mainly used for CLL treatment before FRC was formulated. Today, chlorambucil is sometimes used instead of FCR. Is this the reason why chlorambucil is not so strong drug and so good for old patients?

Chlorambucil is used on older CLL patients because it has a very well known track record and is an oral treatment.

Chlorambucil is used quite frequently in clinical trials and in the past few years was coupled with Gazyva (obinutuzumab) for FDA approval.

Dr. Terry Hamblin was quite a fan of chlorambucil and he wrote extensively about it...
