The survey was not designed to measure preferences for venetoclax fixed-duration regimens.
When 608 patients and 22 caregivers were asked about preference for duration of CLL therapy, if effectiveness and side effects were assumed similar:
Survey question results:
Limitations include the opt-in sample where the survey results may not be reflective of the general CLL population and their caregivers.
*Until disease progression or intolerance.
