Study Design

Total Participants: 39
Treatment Group(s): 2
Primary Treatment: Venetoclax
Phase: 1/2
Study Start date:
December 15, 2021
Estimated Completion Date:
December 30, 2025

Study Description

Transfer of patients to alloHSCT after one cycle or after a subsequent cycle is considered as per protocol discontinuation and as premature treatment discontinuation.

There will be a safety follow-up visit at 30 days after end of the last infusion. There will be efficacy follow-up until 6 months after end of therapy. In patients scheduled for SCT the 30-day safety-visit may be performed at the latest time point possible before initiation of subsequent treatment.
