Abstract

This work presents a review on the efficiency of a fixed-duration treatment with venetoclax (BCL-2 inhibitor) in combination with rituximab, as therapy for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Venetoclax in combination with rituximab has shown high response rates and minimal residual disease in patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia; the fixed duration of venetoclax in combination makes it also in a predictable cost option that generates savings versus alternatives to progression, contributing thus to the sustainability of the health system.
