Abstract
Recent advancements in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) treatment emphasize fixed-duration (FD) strategies, notably venetoclax with obinutuzumab or ibrutinib, now endorsed by ESMO guidelines. The AMPLIFY phase 3 trial highlights acalabrutinib-venetoclax combinations, demonstrating superior progression-free survival and manageable safety.1 These findings support FD regimens as a paradigm shift, optimizing efficacy, safety, and patient convenience in frontline CLL therapy.
