A Phase 2 interventional study of Acalabrutinib and Umbralisib in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma and Relapsed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, sponsored by Jennifer R. Brown, MD, PhD. Active, not recruiting at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-02-25.

This study is testing the effectiveness of the study drug combination of acalabrutinib, umbralisib, and ublituximab in participants with Chronic Lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
The names of the study drugs involved in this study are/is:
In this research study, Investigators are exploring the combination of acalabrutinib, umbralisib, and ublituximab and hoping to determine if the combination is effective at controlling cancer growth in participants with CLL.
The research study procedures include screening for eligibility and study treatment including evaluations and follow up visits.
Participants will receive the study drugs for a maximum of 24 cycles (2 years) and will be followed for a maximum of 5 years after discontinuing the study drugs.
The names of the study drugs involved in this study are/is:
It is expected that about 60 people will take part in this research study.
This research study is a Phase II clinical trial. Phase II clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drugs to learn whether the drugs work in treating a specific disease. "Investigational" means that the drugs are being studied.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved acalabrutinib for CLL, but not in this combination.
As of March 2023, TG therapeutics has decided to no longer provide umbralisib, ublituximab and funding for this study. Study participants still on treatment will still have access to acalabrutinib.
1,603 studies on the registry are indexed under Leukemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, B-Cell; 243 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 29 is below the median of 40 across 1,325 interventional studies indexed under Leukemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, B-Cell.

Participants must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined below:
Exclusion Criteria:
Prostate cancer on observation, with stable PSA for 6 months, is also eligible.
Hepatitis C infection (HCV), active cytomegalovirus (CMV), or known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV):
If the subject is CMV IgG or CMV IgM positive, the subject must be evaluated for the presence of CMV DNA by PCR. Subjects who are CMV IgG or CMV IgM positive but who are CMV DNA negative by PCR are eligible, anti-viral prophylaxis should be considered per treating investigator discretion.

Complete Remission (CR) Rate After 24 Cycles
The CR Rate is defined as the proportion of participants achieving complete remission (CR) based on 2018 IW-CLL criteria.
Time frame: According to this endpoint is after 24 cycles. Overall median number of cycles is 24 with range 1-25.
Partial Remission (PR) Rate After 24 Cycles
The PR Rate is defined as the proportion of participants achieving partial remission (PR) based on 2018 IW-CLL criteria.
Time frame: According to this endpoint is after 24 cycles. Overall median number of cycles is 24 with range 1-25.
Median Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Progression-free survival based on the Kaplan-Meier method is defined as the duration between randomization and documented disease progression (PD) or death, or is censored at time of last dsease assessment.
Time frame: Disease will be evaluated through imaging at cycle 1 day 1, 8, and 15, cycle 2-6 and cycle 8-25 day 1, and cycle 7 day 1, 2 and 8. Observation on treatment up to approximately 25 cycles. In long-term follow-up, survival follow-up up to 5 years.

Collected over Adverse events (AE) will be evaluated through imaging at cycle 1 day 1, 8, and 15, cycle 2-6 and cycle 8-25 day 1, and cycle 7 day 1, 2 and 8. AE observation on treatment up to approximately 25 cycles.. Non-serious events are listed at a 0% frequency threshold.
