Sorry I missed the talk, but did time on IBR correlate with PFS off treatment?

Replying to @iwCLL @tobyeyre82 @DrMDavids @sparikhmd @wwierda
The trial did not report on the dose reductions and relation to outcomes. This data shows that some pts can remain progression free for sometime after stopping ibrutinib. I won’t recommend this strategy outside of a trial.
