A diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) can be a challenging experience for patients, families, and caregivers. Learning about the condition and the available treatment, resource, and support options can help patients successfully navigate the disease.

“Improving CLL Point-of-Care Decisions Utilizing BTK Inhibitors” is an education series consisting of 2 modules and is designed to help patients and caregivers understand the available treatment options for CLL across the continuum of care, learn about the details of BTK-inhibitor treatments, and confidently talk with their doctors and other clinicians to align their goals and priorities for care. View the modules in any order and return at any time.

In Module 1, “Navigating Treatment with BTK Inhibitors,” expert hematology/oncology clinicians and a CLL patient discuss challenges associated with BTK-inhibitor use in the treatment of CLL. Panelists explore the latest findings on long-term efficacy, side-effect management, and adopting healthy lifestyles to improve outcomes.

You’ll learn about:

  • Challenges managing treatment with BTK inhibitors
  • Newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory settings
  • Long-term efficacy of BTK inhibitors
  • Adverse-event management
  • Healthy lifestyles to improve outcomes

Module 2, “Aligning Patient and Provider Goals,” is now available. Expert clinicians answer patient/caregiver-submitted questions about CLL, treatments, side effects and working with the health care team.
