Venetoclax for treating chronic lymphocytic leukaemia - NICE TAG TA487

1.1 Venetoclax is recommended for use within the Cancer Drugs Fund, within its marketing authorisation, as an option for treating chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, that is, in adults:

• with a 17p deletion or TP53 mutation and when a B‑cell receptor pathway inhibitor is unsuitable, or whose disease has progressed after a B‑cell receptor pathway inhibitor or

• without a 17p deletion or TP53 mutation, and whose disease has progressed after both chemo‑immunotherapy and a B‑cell receptor pathway inhibitor and

• only if the conditions in the managed access agreement are followed.

1.2 This recommendation is not intended to affect treatment with venetoclax that was started in the NHS before this guidance was published. People having treatment outside this recommendation may continue without change to the funding arrangements in place for them before this guidance was published, until they and their NHS clinician consider it appropriate to stop.
