As a participant of the Flair trial, I’m really sorry I missed this event. I don’t suppose it was recorded was it?

Hi @AJC, a great big welcome to our forum, a really good question perhaps @DavidAmbassador or @Alice_BloodCancerUK can answer it. Alternatively you can contact the Support Services Team on 0808 2080 888 (10am-7pm Monday-Friday, and 10am-1pm Saturday and Sunday) or via email at support@bloodcancer.org.uk.
I look forward to hearing more about you.

To say I’m cheesed off I missed the CLL talk is an understatement, I’m spitting feathers. I have a couple of questions.

  1. Has the FLAIR trial finished or is it a longer term trial?
  2. Can CLL patients with Inflammatory Arthritis take part in the FLAIR Trial? I asked the Cancer Research UK nurse coordinating things in Dorset but she didn’t know.
    If anyone knows or it was spoken about can you let me know.
    Thanks, Ade.

@Billy1mate and @AJC this event was streamed live on Facebook so you can see the recording here -

Also, @Billy1mate, this webpage from CLLSA may help answer your questions - Important announcement on the UK FLAIR trial - CLL Support Association

(and the eligibility criteria is on this page - Lymphoma Action | FLAIR: a randomised phase 3 trial comparing treatments containing ibrutinib with standard first treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL)) Have you asked your consultant whether you might be eligible?

Hi Alice, thank you for the links, I remember now why I missed it, I’m not on Facebook so that is my mistake. My consultant haematologist suggested the FLAIR trial, I am currently watch and wait and the longer that lasts the better.
