What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the real-world use of acalabrutinib in adult patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who started treatment between May 2021 and April 2022. It will follow a retrospective cohort of patients across multiple centers in Italy, collecting data from medical records over a maximum period of five years. The primary outcome is the time to discontinuation of acalabrutinib treatment, while secondary outcomes will assess various treatment timelines and patient responses. The study will utilize standardized electronic case report forms to ensure consistent data collection.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adult patients diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia who initiated treatment with acalabrutinib during the specified time frame.

Not a fit: Patients who began acalabrutinib treatment outside the specified dates or those with other forms of leukemia may not benefit from this study.

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 performed: Previous studies have shown the efficacy of acalabrutinib in clinical settings, but this observational approach to real-world data is relatively novel.
