Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include treatment-naïve patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia who started acalabrutinib as part of the UK Early Access Programme.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have previously received treatment for CLL or those who do not meet the eligibility criteria may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to gather real-world clinical data on patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) who have received acalabrutinib as part of the Early Access Programme in the UK. Physicians treating these patients will recruit participants, and clinical data will be extracted from their medical records in compliance with local regulations. The study will estimate progression-free survival, overall survival, response rates, and healthcare resource utilization among treatment-naïve patients who started acalabrutinib between April 2020 and April 2021.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the effectiveness and safety of acalabrutinib in real-world settings for CLL patients.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success with similar observational approaches, providing real-world evidence for treatment outcomes in CLL.
