Michael Hallek describes that latest therapy options emerging from recent research, focusing on monotherapies with ibrutinib being potent first-line therapies, along with the strong move towards chemotherapy-free combinations.
He described these novel agents as venetoclax, ibrutinib, and obinutuzumab, and said that they need to be further investigated as to whether all three are needed, or if a particular pair or combination works better.
