Why is CLLAN important?

• CLL is the most common leukaemia in the Western world, with approximately 4 to 5 people in every 100,000 affected, but is poorly understood.
• Many countries do not have a community or patient groups dedicated to supporting CLL patients.
• A global network is indispensable to share knowledge, experience and best practices across countries, advocate for equitable standards of care and treatment standards and help improve patients´ understanding of clinical trials and the drug development process.

Mission

Improve CLL patient outcomes as a global network of CLL patient advocates.

Objectives

The objective of the CLLAN is to enhance CLL patient care and improve patients’ outcomes.

Please note that individual support to patients and their loved ones remain in the scope of the national or regional advocacy associations and advocates.
