ABT-199 is currently being evaluated in a phase II trial as monotherapy in deletion 17p relapsed CLL, as combination therapy with rituximab versus bendamustine plus rituximab in a phase III trial in relapsed/refractory CLL, and in combination trials with bendamustine/rituximab and obinutuzumab in relapsed/refractory CLL.
