Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a type of blood cancer that is common in adults. The ARISE study is looking at acalabrutinib, a medicine used to treat CLL, in a real-world setting in Italy. Acalabrutinib is a drug that blocks a specific protein in cancer cells, helping to stop their growth.
This study is non-interventional, meaning it observes patients without changing their treatment. It will follow patients who started taking acalabrutinib between May 2021 and April 2022, for up to 5 years. The goal is to understand why and when patients stop taking the medicine. Doctors will collect data from patients' medical records.
- The study follows patients for a maximum of 72 months (6 years).
- Patients must have started acalabrutinib treatment between May 2021 and April 2022.
- Doctors will use patient records to collect data; no extra visits are needed.
To join, patients need to be over 18, have CLL, and have started treatment within the specified dates. They also need to agree to share their medical data. This study helps us understand how acalabrutinib works in everyday life.
