showed superior results to rituximab in a head-to-head comparison
in combination with chlorambucil in the first-line treatment of
chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) patients with comorbidities
in the CLL11 trial (NCT01010061).1 Enhanced activity of obinutuzumab
in this setting may reflect better binding to Fc receptors as
well as the direct activation of the lysosomal cell death pathway
mediated by type 2 CD20 antibodies
