Guest guest Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Following up on Lori's post about post ABT-263 results I thought I would post mine. I started a clinical trial of ABT-263 + Rituxan + Bendamustine in May 2010. At the end of the first two weeks all my blood numbers were within normal range. Within a month all of my nodes and spleen had disappeared. I ended the trial in January 2011 and had the followup BMB in April. By the classical measurements I had received a CR, but was anxious to see if I was MRD-. When I started the trial I had 40% CLL involvement in the marrow. The BMB showed .9% involvement. So it is still there, but at such a low level that it probably wouldn't be detected by most labs. As of 2 weeks ago all my blood numbers are still in normal range and my nodes and spleen have stayed down. Continuing to hope for a LONG remission.
