Venetoclax combinations in untreated CLL: 5-year results and patient-reported outcome analysis of the CLL13/GAIA trial

Fixed-duration venetoclax combinations have become a standard first-line treatment in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The phase 3 CLL13/GAIA trial assesses three time-limited combinations: venetoclax-rituximab (RV), venetoclax-obinutuzumab (GV), and venetoclax-obinutuzumab-ibrutinib (GIV) compared to chemoimmunotherapy (CIT).
