Prof Paolo Ghia - Vita-Salute San Raffaele University, Milan, Italy

Dr Ghia speaks with ecancer at EHA 23 about the design and early findings of the phase II CAPTIVATE study, treating CLL patients with ibrutinib and venetoclax.

He describes the sequencing of the two drugs, which are both approved as monotherapy, and assessments in place for depth of response.

Dr Ghia summarises some preliminary data, which indicate a good rate of response, and outlines when further results will be available.
