Age ≥ 18 years
Must not have
Currently active, clinically significant cardiovascular disease
Recent infection requiring intravenous antibiotics completed ≤ 7 days before the first dose of study drug, or any uncontrolled active systemic infection
Timeline

Treatment Varies
Follow Up 1 and 3 years after treatment initiation
Awards & highlights
No Placebo-Only Group
Summary
This trial is testing whether combining these two drugs will work better to treat CLL/SLL than either drug alone.
Who is the study for?
Adults with previously treated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who need therapy and have not used certain inhibitors. They must be in stable health, understand the study, agree to use contraception, and have no history of certain other diseases or recent treatments that could affect safety.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the combination of two drugs, zanubrutinib and venetoclax, for their effectiveness against CLL/SLL in patients who've had previous treatment. It's designed to see how well these drugs work together after initial therapies.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include digestive issues, blood disorders like anemia or bleeding problems, infections due to a weakened immune system, liver function changes, fatigue, and possible allergic reactions.
