Summary

This study tests whether combining two targeted drugs, venetoclax and ibrutinib, can better control chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). It includes 234 patients whose cancer has returned or is hard to treat, as well as some untreated high-risk patients. The goal is to see how many patients achieve a complete response, while monitoring side effects like low blood counts and infections.
