Program Overview
This study is exploring the effectiveness of a new treatment for classical hairy cell leukemia (HCL) using two drugs: vemurafenib, taken orally, and obinutuzumab, given through infusions. The trial is divided into two stages. Initially, 9 patients will receive the treatment. If at least 7 of these patients respond well, the study will continue with an additional 19 patients, totaling 28 participants. The treatment involves taking vemurafenib twice daily for four 4-week cycles, with obinutuzumab infusions starting in the second cycle. After completing the treatment, doctors will assess the response by examining bone marrow samples.
