Summary
This trial tests if two drugs together can help treat CLL/SLL. One drug stops cancer cells from multiplying, the other stops cancer cell growth and spread. Together, they may kill more cancer cells.
Who is the study for?
Adults diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma who need treatment and can swallow pills. They should have no prior CLL treatments (except certain steroids/rituximab), stable organ function, and no severe bleeding disorders or liver disease. Participants must agree to use birth control and not be pregnant.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the combination of tafasitamab, a monoclonal antibody, and zanubrutinib, a kinase inhibitor protein blocker, in treating newly diagnosed patients. It aims to see if this combo is more effective than individual treatments for stopping cancer cell growth.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include allergic reactions to the drugs, issues from bone marrow biopsies like pain or bleeding, liver problems due to medication interactions, fatigue from anemia caused by chemotherapy agents used in treatment.
