Gazyva® is a medicine that works with the body’s own immune system to attack blood cells called B-cells that have a certain marker on their surface (CD20). Abnormal B-cells are the most common cause of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), which is one of the most common blood cancers.1,2
Gazyva is FDA-approved for the treatment of people with previously untreated CLL in combination with chlorambucil chemotherapy.3 This approval was based on a Phase III clinical trial that compared Gazyva plus chlorambucil chemotherapy to rituximab plus chlorambucil chemotherapy or chlorambucil alone.3
