William G. Wierda, MD, PhD, medical director of the Leukemia Center at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, discusses sequencing new agents in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

With a plethora of novel agents approved in CLL, sequencing has become a central topic of discussion.

Some updates include the approval of venetoclax (Venclexta), which Wierda says is being considered for combination with existing agents or possibly a CD20-targeted monoclonal antibody to get better remissions.
