Ibrutinib + Rituximab act independently of mutation status

2021-01-18T17:26:13-05:00

The surprise is not that the drug combination provides superior numbers. The surprise is that the combination apparently acts independently of the patient's mutation status, unlike Ibrutinib alone. The data were presented at the recent American Society of Hematology (ASH) annual meeting. See the coverage in CureToday: Coverage in CureToday Or in Targeted Oncology: Coverage in Targeted Oncology
