Red flags — PRO / CONTRA aggressive
PRO-AGGRESSIVE
Triggers that push toward the aggressive track
- Fit performance status (ECOG 0-1): patient is fully active or restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory and able to carry out light work. Eligible for full-dose chemotherapy and intensive regimens (CHOEP, BEACOPP-escalated, HD-MTX, ASCT consolidation, CAR-T).
RF-FITNESS-ECOG-FIT
CONTRA-AGGRESSIVE
Hard contraindications to escalation
- Active or latent HBV without antiviral prophylaxis is an absolute contraindication to starting B-cell-depleting / immunomodulatory monoclonal antibody therapy (anti-CD20, anti-CD30 ADC, anti-CD38). Severe HBV reactivation hepatitis risk including fulminant hepatic failure.CI-HBV-NO-PROPHYLAXIS
- Active or latent HBV without antiviral prophylaxis is an absolute contraindication to starting B-cell-depleting / immunomodulatory monoclonal antibody therapy (anti-CD20, anti-CD30 ADC, anti-CD38). Severe HBV reactivation hepatitis risk including fulminant hepatic failure.CI-HBV-NO-PROPHYLAXIS
What NOT to do
Explicit prohibitive rules, each grounded in a regimen / supportive care / contraindication entity
Standard plan (IND-CLL-1L-BTKI)
- Do not prescribe chemoimmuno (FCR / BR) in high-risk CLL — survival impact substantial.
- Do not start ibrutinib instead of acalabrutinib without justification — ELEVATE-RR showed better safety of acalabrutinib.
- Do not skip baseline ECG + cardiology evaluation in atrial fibrillation history or HTN.
- Do not combine BTKi with warfarin without strict monitoring — bleeding risk.
- Do not treat asymptomatic CLL without iwCLL indication — surveillance is the standard.
Aggressive plan (IND-CLL-1L-VENO)
- Do NOT skip the venetoclax 5-week ramp-up — fatal TLS documented.
- Do NOT prescribe with concomitant strong CYP3A4 inhibitor during ramp-up — fatal concentration increase.
- Do NOT start without HBV screening + entecavir prophylaxis if HBsAg+ or anti-HBc+ (anti-CD20 reactivation).
- Do NOT skip TLS prophylaxis (allopurinol + hydration) — especially with ALC >25K or bulky disease.
- Do NOT do ramp-up on an outpatient with high-burden disease — hospitalization with q6-8h labs required.
- Do NOT forget PJP prophylaxis on prolonged obinutuzumab therapy.
Standard plan (IND-CLL-1L-ZANUBRUTINIB)
- Do not prescribe ibrutinib instead of zanubrutinib without justification — ALPINE / ELEVATE-RR showed better safety of 2nd-gen BTKis.
- Do not skip baseline ECG + cardiology evaluation in atrial fibrillation history or HTN.
- Do not combine with warfarin without strict monitoring — bleeding risk (although lower than ibrutinib).
- Do not treat asymptomatic CLL without iwCLL indication — surveillance is the standard.
- Do not prescribe chemoimmuno (FCR / BR) in TP53-mut or del(17p) — survival impact substantial; BTKi is mandatory.
- Do not skip hold ≥3-7 days pre-major surgery — bleeding risk.
- Do NOT confirm the plan without funding pathway — zanubrutinib is NOT NSZU-reimbursed; ibrutinib (reimbursed) is fallback.
Monitoring schedule
Monitoring schedule by treatment phase
Standard plan · MON-CLL-BTKI
| Phase | Window | Tests | Checkpoints |
|---|
| baseline | Within 2 weeks before start | TEST-CBC, TEST-CMP, TEST-LFT, TEST-LDH, TEST-B2-MICROGLOBULIN, TEST-FISH-PANEL, TEST-NGS-LYMPHOID-PANEL, TEST-IMMUNOGLOBULINS, TEST-HBV-SEROLOGY, TEST-HCV-ANTIBODY, TEST-HIV-SEROLOGY, TEST-CECT-CAP, TEST-ECHO | - Confirm CLL diagnosis: CD19+ CD5+ CD23+ flow on PB ≥5K monoclonal B-cells
- Risk stratification: del(17p), TP53, IGHV mutational status, karyotype
- iwCLL treatment indication documented (if asymptomatic — defer to surveillance)
- Cardiac baseline (atrial fibrillation history, hypertension control)
- HBV status + entecavir prophylaxis if HBsAg+ or anti-HBc+ (anti-CD20 in VenO regimen)
|
| on_treatment_btki | Monthly × 3 months, then every 3 months | TEST-CBC, TEST-CMP, TEST-LFT | - ALC trend (lymphocytosis early on BTKi is expected — not progression)
- Bleeding events; major bleed → hold BTKi
- AF symptoms → ECG; if AF → cardiology + anticoagulation strategy
|
| on_treatment_veno | Per CLL14 schedule during 12-month VenO course | TEST-CBC, TEST-CMP, TEST-LFT, TEST-URIC-ACID | - TLS labs (K+, phosphate, calcium, uric acid, creatinine) per ramp-up schedule
- ANC + platelets pre each obinutuzumab dose
- Infusion reactions to obinutuzumab (especially first dose)
|
| response_assessment | After cycle 6 (VenO) or every 6 months on BTKi | TEST-CBC, TEST-CECT-CAP, TEST-FLOW-CYTOMETRY | - iwCLL response criteria (CR, PR, PR-L on BTKi, SD, PD)
- MRD assessment by flow on PB at end of VenO 12-month course
|
| follow_up | Every 3-6 months after treatment / continuously on BTKi | TEST-CBC, TEST-CMP, TEST-LFT | - Surveillance for relapse (median PFS years for both regimens)
- Watch for Richter transformation (rapid LDH rise, new B-symptoms, isolated mass) — re-biopsy
- Second primary malignancy screening
