BRUIN CLL-322 Trial Summary

This trial is comparing the efficacy and safety of a new drug, pirtobruitinib, to the standard treatment, VR, in patients with CLL/SLL.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with CLL/SLL who need treatment and have already tried at least one therapy. They should be in fairly good health (ECOG 0-2), have a certain level of blood cells, and their kidneys must work well enough (creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min). People can't join if they've had certain infections, HIV, hepatitis B or C, previous venetoclax treatment, allergies to the drugs used here, recent live vaccines or stem cell transplants.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests Pirtobrutinib combined with Venetoclax and Rituximab against just Venetoclax and Rituximab in patients previously treated for CLL/SLL. The goal is to see which combination works better and is safer over up to five years.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to the immune system such as infections due to lowered white blood cells, bleeding issues from low platelets, anemia from low red blood cells; kidney problems; allergic reactions; fatigue; nausea; diarrhea.
