Red Flag Origin

DefinitionFrailty profile influencing CLL regimen selection: ECOG ≥3, OR (age ≥75 with G8 ≤14), OR composite frailty (age ≥70 + Charlson ≥3 + albumin <3.5) — drives selection of fixed-duration V+O (CLL14) over continuous BTKi (better tolerability profile in elderly per ELEVATE-TN / SEQUOIA elderly subgroups), and absolutely contraindicates chemoimmuno (FCR/BR).

Notes

CIRS (Cumulative Illness Rating Scale) >6 = "unfit" per CLL11 / CLL14 trial criteria — drives choice of obinutuzumab + venetoclax over chemoimmuno. Continuous BTKi (acalabrutinib, zanubrutinib) is also appropriate but requires daily compliance + cardiac monitoring; V+O is fixed-duration 12 months which many elderly prefer (definite end-date, lower long-term toxicity). Avoid ibrutinib first-gen in ≥75 with cardiovascular comorbidity. FCR/BR chemoimmuno absolutely contraindicated — TRM 5-10% in unfit + minimal benefit over targeted therapy.
