Grant Activity:
Developing strategies to overcome venetoclax resistance in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia
Purpose:

Australian research has led to the development of venetoclax, a new cancer treatment that targets the key cell survival protein BCL2. This is highly effective for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia patients who have limited treatment options. However, despite achieving deep and durable responses, in most patients the cancer eventually returns while on treatment. The Investigator aims to determine what drives this resistance to venetoclax, and to design new venetoclax combination therapies that may be curative.
