Results from the BRUIN study focusing on patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma showed benefit in patients were pretreated with Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

Venetoclax has given new hope and better options to a notoriously hard-to-treat patient group.

Modern fixed-duration therapy has been based on the results shown by 2 approaches: the combination of venetoclax and an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody and the dual combination of venetoclax and ibrutinib.
