Study Summary

This trial is testing a new combo therapy for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL).

Who is the study for?
Adults diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma who need treatment and have previously had therapy that didn't work. They must not be pregnant, agree to use contraception, and should not have severe allergies to monoclonal antibodies or a history of certain other cancers. Major organ functions must meet specific criteria, and they can't join if they've recently had surgery, infections requiring systemic treatment, heart issues, or are on strong CYP3A inhibitors.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness of combining two drugs: Ibrutinib and Obinutuzumab in treating Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). Participants will receive both medications as part of their treatment regimen to see how well they work together against CLL.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include allergic reactions related to infusion treatments, liver problems indicated by changes in enzyme levels, fatigue due to anemia or low blood counts from bone marrow involvement. There's also a risk for infection because the immune system may be weakened.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Arm C- obinutuzumab/ibrutinibExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants enrolled in Arm C will begin to take ibrutinib daily starting cycle 1 and will continue with daily ibrutinib until the end of treatment. At the same time, participants will begin to receive obinutuzumab weekly starting cycle 1, and will receive obinutuzumab monthly during cycles 2-6.
Group II: Arm B- ibrutinib -> obinutuzumabExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants enrolled in Arm B will begin to take ibrutinib daily starting cycle 1 and will continue with daily ibrutinib until the end of treatment. Participants will begin to receive obinutuzumab weekly starting cycle 2, and will receive obinutuzumab monthly during cycles 3-7
Group III: Arm A- obinutuzumab -> ibrutinibExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants enrolled in Arm A will receive obinutuzumab weekly starting cycle 1, and will receive obinutuzumab monthly during cycles 2-6. Participants will begin to take ibrutinib daily starting cycle 2 and will continue with daily ibrutinib until the end of treatment.
