Understanding resistance to venetoclax in chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Official title: Venetoclax Resistance Landscape in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand · NCT05246345 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is trying to understand why some patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia don’t respond to the treatment venetoclax by looking at their medical information and samples.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with a diagnosis of refractory or relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia during or after venetoclax treatment.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are not undergoing venetoclax treatment or do not have available tumor samples may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to gather medical information and biological samples from patients with refractory or relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who are undergoing or have undergone treatment with venetoclax. The focus is on evaluating the frequency of resistance mechanisms, including BCL2 mutations and changes in energy metabolism. By analyzing blood, bone marrow, and lymph node samples, the study seeks to provide insights into how CLL can resist venetoclax treatment.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved understanding of resistance mechanisms in CLL, potentially guiding more effective treatment strategies.

How similar studies have gone: While studies on venetoclax resistance exist, this specific observational approach focusing on resistance mechanisms in CLL is relatively novel.
