Compares treatment options for Leukemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, B-Cell
Official title A Study of Nemtabrutinib Plus Venetoclax vs Venetoclax + Rituximab (VR) in Second-line (2L) + Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (CLL/SLL) (MK-1026-010/BELLWAVE-010).
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05947851
What this study is testing
What is Nemtabrutinib?
Nemtabrutinib is an investigational medicine, given as a pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for leukemia, lymphocytic, chronic, b-cell.
Also referred to as ARQ 531, MK-1026.
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 assess the safety and tolerability and to confirm the dose of nemtabrutinib in combination with venetoclax in participants with R/R CLL/SLL. The primary study hypotheses are that the combination of nemtabrutinib plus venetoclax is superior to VR with respect to progression-free survival (PFS) per 2018 International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (iwCLL) criteria as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR).
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- This is a blinded study.
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
