Also in this webinar:
We are very interested to learn of people’s experience with the new drug, acalabrutinib, which may become the new gold standard for Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) treatment.
So, as well as Dr Kennedy’s talk, we will have a round-table discussion by patients who have received this new treatment for Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). They will discuss any reactions, side effects and benefits they’ve experienced.
