Figures & data

Figure 1. Discontinuation status and timing of discontinuation among all elderly Medicare beneficiaries with CLL/SLL initiating ibrutinib.

Median (IQR) follow-up from ibrutinib initiation date was 2.1 (1.2, 3.3) years in the overall sample of 11,870 patients.

*One-year OS rate not shown for discontinuers >12 months since by definition 100% of these patients would need to be alive for at least 12 months to qualify for inclusion in this group.
