New drug combo trial targets stubborn blood cancer

NCT ID NCT04169737

Summary

This study is testing whether adding an immunotherapy drug (obinutuzumab) earlier to a two-drug combination (acalabrutinib + venetoclax) works better for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) that has returned or hasn't responded to previous treatments. The goal is to better control the cancer and reduce it to very low levels in the bone marrow. About 168 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the two-drug combo alone or with the immunotherapy drug added early in treatment.
