Study design details

Study design

This study will be a cross-sectional survey of knowledge of the risks and safe use of venetoclax as outlined in the PC among adult patients who have recently received venetoclax for treatment of CLL per standard of care.

Main study objective

To assess patients’ knowledge of the following:
- TLS as a risk of venetoclax treatment for CLL
- Symptoms of TLS
- Steps to take to reduce the risk of TLS
- Actions to take if symptoms of TLS appear
To assess patients’ use of the PC, including the following:
- Whether the patient keeps the PC on their person
- Whether the PC is shared with all medical providers when seeking care

Data analysis plan

The analyses will be descriptive in nature and will include distributions of the responses to all of the individual questions and, if appropriate, summary measures across logical groupings of questions. Descriptive tables will be generated for the patients overall and stratified by country and other identified variables of interest. Analysis tables will include the frequency and percentage of patients who select each response to each individual question.
