Summary

This trial compared two different treatment regimens for people with previously untreated CLL or SLL.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma who need treatment. Participants must have good bone marrow and liver function, a certain level of kidney function, and be in stable health. They can't join if they've had previous CLL/SLL treatments (except some rituximab), stem cell transplants, significant heart issues within the last 6 months, active infections like HIV or hepatitis B/C, or other conditions that could affect safety.
What is being tested?
The study compares two drug combinations: Acalabrutinib plus Venetoclax (AV) versus Venetoclax plus Obinutuzumab (VO). It aims to determine which combination works better for patients who haven't been treated before for their blood cancer.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include diarrhea, headache, fever, fatigue, muscle pain; low blood counts leading to increased infection risk; bleeding problems; allergic reactions; and potential liver dysfunction. Each person's experience may vary.
