Summary

CLL is an incurable disease with conventional chemotherapy. In the absence of TP53 disruption, a chemoimmunotherapy (CIT) regimen is recommended as front-line and second-line treatment in those patients who attained a long progression-free survival (PFS) with the previous regimen. Bendamustine and rituximab (BR) is one of the most widely adopted CIT regimens, including second-line treatment. Unfortunately, durations of remission following BR combination therapy tend to be short in patients with heavily pre-treated disease or who have already received rituximab. The incorporation of a maintenance following induction chemotherapy to overcome the shorter remission durations in this population is a reasonable option.
