What this study is testing

What is Venetoclax?

Venetoclax is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

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
This is a randomized Phase II study of intermittent versus continuous venetoclax therapy with Acalabrutinib in previously untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (CLL/SLL)
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
  • Which group you join is decided by chance.
