Awan, MBBS, associate professor of Internal Medicine, Division of Hematology, Department of Internal Medicine, Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, discusses a phase II trial examining the clinical activity of entospletinib in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who were previously treated with a B-cell receptor pathway signaling inhibitor.
