Hospital Implementation of a Stroke Protocol for Emergency Evaluation and Disposition
NCT06094478
Recruiting
Most stroke patients are initially evaluated at the closest hospital but some need to be transferred to a hospital that can provide more advanced care. The "Door-In-Door-Out" (DIDO) process at the first hospital can take time making transferred patients no longer able to get the advanced treatments. This study will help hospitals across the US "stand up" new ways to evaluate stroke patients, decide who needs to be transferred, and transfer them quickly for advanced treatment.

A Study to Investigate Progression-Free Survival With Sonrotoclax Plus Obinutuzumab Or Sonrotoclax Plus Rituximab Compared With Venetoclax Plus Rituximab Treatment In Patients With Relapsed and/or Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (CELESTIAL-RRCLL)
NCT06943872
Recruiting
The goal of this study is to compare how well sonrotoclax plus obinutuzumab works versus venetoclax plus rituximab in treating adults with relapsed and/or refractory (R/R) chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL). The study will also compare how well sonrotoclax plus rituximab works versus venetoclax plus rituxumab in treating adults with R/R CLL/SLL. The safety of these treatments will also be assessed.
