Summary

This trial will compare the effectiveness of different combinations of drugs to treat previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) who need treatment. They must be in fairly good health, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and willing to use effective birth control. People can't join if they've had certain serious illnesses recently, like heart disease or stroke, infections like HIV or hepatitis B/C, bleeding disorders, brain lesions called PML, or any prior CLL treatments.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of Acalabrutinib combined with Venetoclax against standard chemoimmunotherapy for CLL. Some participants will also receive Obinutuzumab. The goal is to see which combination works best at treating CLL without previous treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include allergic reactions to medication components, increased risk of infection due to immune system suppression by drugs like Obinutuzumab and Venetoclax; digestive issues from drug interactions affecting absorption; and potential blood clotting problems.
