Summary

This study tests whether adding venetoclax to ibrutinib can eliminate genetic mutations that make chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) resistant to ibrutinib. About 28 adults with CLL who have developed these mutations while on ibrutinib will receive the combination for 12 cycles. The goal is to see if the mutations disappear and if patients achieve deep remission.
