AstraZeneca’s All-Oral Calquence Combo Wins US FDA Approval
AstraZeneca announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved its fixed-duration all-oral combination of Calquence® (acalabrutinib) with venetoclax for the first-line treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) in adults. The approval marks the first time a Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor-based regimen has been authorised in the U.S. as a time-limited, oral treatment option for newly diagnosed patients.
