Study summary

The goal of this study is to compare how well sonrotoclax plus obinutuzumab works versus venetoclax plus rituximab in treating adults with relapsed and/or refractory (R/R) chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL). The study will also compare how well sonrotoclax plus rituximab works versus venetoclax plus rituxumab in treating adults with R/R CLL/SLL. The safety of these treatments will also be assessed.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Confirmed diagnosis of CLL/SLL that meets the International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (iwCLL) criteria
  • Received one or more prior therapies for CLL/SLL. For each , participants must have received at least 2 cycles of the therapy
  • Participants with prior BCL2i exposure are eligible if remission duration was ≥3 years with ≥2 years from last BCL2i intake
  • (ECOG) Performance Status score of 0, 1, or 2
  • Adequate organ function

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Known active prolymphocytic leukemia or currently suspected Richter's transformation
  • Prior stem cell transplantation or chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy within 3 months before first dose of study drug
  • Prior allogeneic stem cell transplant with active (GVHD), requiring drugs for treatment of GVHD, or have taken calcineurin inhibitors within 4 weeks prior to consent
  • Known central nervous system involvement by CLL/SLL
  • Severe or debilitating pulmonary disease
  • cardiovascular disease

NOTE: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Line of therapy

A line of therapy is one course of treatment, which may combine several drugs. First-line is the first course given; second-line follows when that stops working or is not tolerated.

“Two prior lines” means two courses that count separately under the study’s rules — not simply two drugs. Ask the study team if you are unsure how yours are counted.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Allogeneic and autologous transplant

Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.

GVHD (graft-versus-host disease)

After a transplant from a donor, the donor’s immune cells attack the recipient’s body, often the skin, gut or liver.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Timeline

3 registry updates since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jun 2025 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Sep 2029, 51 months after the start.

Of 57 industry-sponsored phase 3 interventional studies under Leukemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, B-Cell, half reached primary completion within 53 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 41 and three quarters within 73. This study's planned 51 months is close to that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 83 studies reached it within 59 months; a quarter within 43 and three quarters within 76.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
