Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

300 patients, starting a new pharmacological treatment for B-CLL, were enrolled by 36 Italian Centres for assessing the Quality of Life (QoL). A descriptive analysis of QoL and the correlation of the age, sex, stage of disease, Time from first B-CLL diagnosis, Number of previous B-CLL treatments, reason of starting of the new B-CLL treatment: therapeutic Regimen, type of Centre, B-CLL treatment lasting, response to B-CLL treatment.
