Summary

This trial is testing whether a drug called cirmtuzumab can help people with cancer who have responded to treatment with venetoclax.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who still have detectable disease after at least 12 months on venetoclax. They must not have significant uncontrolled conditions or infections, and women cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding. Those recently treated with certain therapies or having another malignancy may be excluded.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the effectiveness of cirmtuzumab given to patients who are already taking venetoclax but still show signs of CLL. It's a phase 2 trial where all participants will receive cirmtuzumab to see if it can further reduce leukemia cells.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to the immune system, such as infusion reactions from cirmtuzumab, and those associated with venetoclax like low blood cell counts, fatigue, nausea, and risk of infection.
