Clinical summary

Summary

The goal of this study is to compare how well sonrotoclax plus rituximab works versus venetoclax plus rituximab in treating adults with relapsed and/or refractory (R/R) chronic lymphocytic leukaemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL). 

Eligible participants will be randomly allocated to one of four arms where they will receive the following treatments:

  • Arm A: oral sonrotoclax plus intravenous (IV) obinutuzumab
  • Arm B: oral sonrotoclax plus IV rituximab
  • Arm C: oral sonrotoclax plus IV obinutuzumab with treatment guided by evaluation of minimal residual disease (MRD)
  • Arm D: oral venetoclax plus IV rituximab

Conditions

This trial is treating people with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma who have received one or more prior treatments

  • Participants with prior BCL2i exposure are eligible if remission duration was ≥3 years with ≥2 years from last BCL2i intake
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status score of 0, 1, or 2
