William G. Wierda, MD, PhD, of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, reviews the final analysis of phase II CAPTIVATE study demonstrating the long-term efficacy and safety of ibrutinib plus venetoclax for previously untreated patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), including in patients with high-risk genomic features. The 5.5-year progression-free survival and overall survival rates were 66% and 97%, respectively (Abstract 7036).
