Summary

This study is testing a combination of three drugs—obinutuzumab, ibrutinib, and venetoclax—for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) that has come back, not responded to treatment, or is newly diagnosed. The goal is to find the best dose and see how well the combination works. About 87 participants will receive the drugs to control the disease and reduce cancer cells to undetectable levels.
