What should I do if ibrutinib is not effective?

If treatment with ibrutinib (Ibrutinib) does not work as expected, patients and doctors need to actively work together to take appropriate steps to optimize treatment results. It is important to develop a close communication and collaborative relationship with your doctor. Patients should promptly report any discomfort and symptom changes during treatment to their doctor so that the doctor can adjust the treatment plan as needed. Make sure the patient uses ibrutinib correctly and as directed. Missing a dose or not taking it on time may affect the effectiveness of your treatment. Patients should follow their doctor's advice and consult their doctor in advance if needed to avoid missing doses or taking medications incorrectly. If a patient's condition does not improve significantly with ibrutinib, doctors may consider other treatment options, such as combinations, clinical trials, or other targeted therapies.
