Study Summary

This trial is testing a new combination drug therapy for people with leukemia or lymphoma who haven't received treatment before. The therapy consists of two drugs: zanubrutinib and rituximab. Zanubrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. The study is being done to find out if zanubrutinib combined with rituximab can help control previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymph

Who is the study for?
Adults with untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma, who are generally healthy and not pregnant. They should be able to perform daily activities with ease to moderate difficulty (ECOG 0-2), have normal liver and kidney function tests, and no recent history of other cancers except certain skin cancers or localized cancer that has been treated.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the combination of zanubrutinib, an enzyme blocker, and rituximab, a monoclonal antibody against previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma. The goal is to see if this drug combo can control these blood cancers effectively.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions at the infusion site from rituximab, increased risk of infections due to immune system suppression by both drugs, liver problems from zanubrutinib, fatigue, and potentially serious bleeding complications.
