Summary

This study tests whether adding venetoclax to standard ibrutinib or acalabrutinib treatment can eliminate remaining leukemia cells in patients with high-risk chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). About 90 adults who have been on ibrutinib or acalabrutinib for at least a year but still have detectable disease will receive the combination. The goal is to achieve undetectable minimal residual disease in the bone marrow, indicating a deeper remission.
