Summary

"This trial will test the safety of acalabrutinib compared to other treatments in patients with CLL and heart problems. Patients with a certain level of heart impairment will be included, and the study

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) who also have heart failure, specifically those with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 50%. Patients must be able to take oral medication twice daily and should not have other health conditions that would interfere with the study.

What is being tested?

The trial is testing Acalabrutinib, taken orally twice a day, against treatments chosen by the investigator in patients with CLL and moderate to severe heart failure. The safety and tolerability of these treatments are being compared, with special attention to how they affect heart function.

What are the potential side effects?

Acalabrutinib may cause side effects such as headaches, diarrhea, muscle pain, reduced blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems. Heart-related side effects will be closely monitored due to existing cardiac impairment.

Study Objectives

Study objectives can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.

Primary study objectives

Safety endpoints 1: To evaluate the incidence of CV (CardioVascular) adverse events leading to drug discontinuation after acalabrutinib treatment compared to investigators choice of treatment.

Safety endpoints 2: To evaluate the duration on treatment prior to drug discontinuation due to CV adverse events after acalabrutinib treatment compared to investigators choice of treatment.

Safety endpoints 3: To evaluate the incidence of life threatening and fatal cardiac events of interest after acalabrutinib treatment compared to investigators choice of treatment.
