It appears that the promise was not fulfilled, and perhaps later clinical phases were dropped. Here is an article from the NIH from 2018, stating that the efficacy was not proven in multiple small trials, and there were a number of side effects. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7397615/
Does this help answer your question?

Yes, unfortunately, CLL is tough to permanently beat. I also recently learned that there are 200 types of cancer. If there are 200 types of cancer, all the money in the world can't bring about enough research to permanently cure 200 types of cancer. LOL. I hope for humanity's sake that one day a cure is found that will stop at least, oh,.....25 of them? For that matter, is there a permanent cure for even one type of cancer? 😀
