Summary

This trialevaluates different treatments for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) to compare efficacy and safety.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Participants must be over 18, have a certain level of kidney function, and not have had previous systemic treatments for CLL. They should also meet specific health criteria like a particular white blood cell count and organ function. Women who can become pregnant and men who can father children must use effective contraception.
What is being tested?
The study compares the effectiveness of two treatment combinations: obinutuzumab with chlorambucil versus acalabrutinib with obinutuzumab, as well as acalabrutinib alone in treating CLL. It looks at how long patients live without their disease getting worse, overall response rate to treatment, time until next treatment is needed, and overall survival rates.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to the immune system such as infusion reactions or allergies; blood disorders that could affect organs; fatigue; digestive issues which might cause discomfort or changes in bowel movements; increased risk of infections due to weakened immunity.
