Study Summary

This trial tests if using two drugs, instead of three, to treat CLL/SLL patients reduces side effects and improves outcomes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with confirmed chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic leukemia (CLL/SLL) who need treatment but haven't had any cancer therapy before. They must be able to follow pregnancy prevention measures if applicable. Exclusions include recent heart issues, severe infections, certain blood disorders, previous malignancies (except some skin cancers), and known allergies to the study drugs.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests a new approach using Zanubrutinib and Venetoclax pills as initial therapy for CLL, adding Obinutuzumab injections only if minimal residual disease is detected after treatment. The goal is to reduce unnecessary medication use while trying to increase the rate of no detectable cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects from these medications may include diarrhea, bleeding problems, infections due to low white blood cell counts, fatigue, nausea or vomiting. Reactions at injection sites are also possible with Obinutuzumab.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Triple Therapy (Zanubrutinib, Venetoclax, and Obinutuzumab)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants that meet definition of MRD positivity at C16D1 will enter the triple therapy arm (zanubrutinib, venetoclax, and obinutuzumab). These participants will continue combination therapy with zanubrutinib and venetoclax, but will also receive 6 cycles of obinutuzumab starting at C17D1. In this subgroup, peripheral blood and bone marrow MRD assessments will occur after an additional 6 cycles of the triplet combination therapy (C23D1) at which point all participants will stop study treatment regardless of MRD status.
Group II: Double Therapy (Zanubrutinib plus Venetoclax)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
All participants will receive an initial 3 cycles of zanubrutinib monotherapy. This lead-in period will then be followed by 12 cycles of zanubrutinib and venetoclax combination therapy. All participants will complete 12 cycles of zanubrutinib and venetoclax combination therapy or 15 cycles of total treatment. Peripheral blood and bone marrow MRD assessments will occur at C16D1. Participants will continue on double combination treatment for an additional 1 month while results of MRD testing are obtained. In total, all participants will be on treatment for at least 16 full cycles. Participants that meet definition of MRD negativity will stop therapy at C17D1 and enter an observation phase with study visits every 3 months. Participants that remain MRD positive at C16D1 will enter the triple therapy (zanubrutinib, venetoclax, and obinutuzumab) arm.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is the concurrent use of Zanubrutinib and Venetoclax a secure option for individuals?

"The safety of the double therapy (zanubrutinib plus venetoclax) is estimated to be a 2, signifying that while there has been some data supporting its safety, no evidence exists in regards to efficacy."

Answered by AI

Are there still vacancies available in this research project?

"Official records on clinicaltrials.gov demonstrate that this medical research is not presently recruiting participants; the trial was first announced on March 1st 2023 and edited lastly in December 6th 2022. Despite its lack of current recruitment, there are 1521 alternative trials actively searching for patients currently."

Answered by AI

What are the foremost goals of this clinical evaluation?

"According to Genentech, Inc., the primary outcome for this study will be ascertained via peripheral blood tests and assessed over a 16 Cycle (23 Month) timeline. Additionally, Kaplan-Meier methods will be used to measure 36 month Overall Survival rates from first treatment day until death from any cause as determined at 36 Months. Furthermore, Tumor Lysis Syndrome (TLS) Risk Score changes between Baseline and Cycles 4 Day 1 assessment must also be reported in aggregate figures. Lastly, there is an aim to calculate the percentage of patients that have achieved undetectable minimal residual disease after 24 months when treated with zan"
