Looking at New Treatment Options for High-Risk Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

NCT04169737 · Recruiting
About this trial

This clinical trial is looking at how well three medicines work together for patients with high-risk chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). The goal is to see if adding obinutuzumab to acalabrutinib and venetoclax can help improve patient outcomes. Acalabrutinib and venetoclax may help stop cancer cells from growing, and obinutuzumab may boost the immune system to fight the cancer better.
