Interventions
Chemotherapy
SL-401 works by targeting leukemia cells (blasts), and also possibly by stopping or slowing the growth of cancer stem cells, which are the undeveloped cells which can develop into cancer cells.
Venetoclax is a BH3-mimetic. Venetoclax blocks the anti-apoptotic B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) protein, leading to programmed cell death of CLL cells. Overexpression of Bcl-2 in some lymphoid malignancies has sometimes shown to be linked with increased resistance to chemotherapy.
