Intermittent Duvelisib Dosing in Treating Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (NCT03961672)
A Phase II Study of Intermittent Duvelisib Dosing in Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (CLL/SLL)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This phase II trial studies how well duvelisib on an intermittent (irregular) dosing schedule works in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma. Duvelisib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving duvelisib on an intermittent schedule may result in similar effectiveness with less amount of severe side effects.
Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (26 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (27 items).
