Summary

This study tested a two-step treatment for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who had not received prior therapy. First, participants received a standard chemotherapy combination (bendamustine and rituximab), followed by a year of the oral drug venetoclax. The goal was to see how many patients had their tumor shrink significantly. The study included 42 adults and is now complete.
