Currently, Health Canada does not cover Idelalisib for treatment of CLL. An organization known as Lymphoma Canada is lobbying Parliament/Health Canada to cover this new treatment. They are looking for feedback from any CLL patients who have been treated with Idelalisib (Zydelig), as they will use the information in their plea to Parliament. You may access their survey at:

Thank you!
