Recruiting PHASE2 Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)

New treatment option for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)

Official title Study of Zanubrutinib, Obinutuzumab, and Venetoclax in Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Leukemia (SLL)

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03824483

What this study is testing

What is Zanubrutinib?

Zanubrutinib is an investigational medicine, given as a pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (cll).

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The purpose of this study is to determine the rate of minimum residual disease (MRD) negative response (i.e. the rate of no evidence of disease) of the study drugs, zanubrutinib, obinutuzumab, and venetoclax, given in combination as a treatment for CLL and/or SLL.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
