Adequate bone marrow function as follows:

• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,000/mm3 (without support of granulocyte colony stimulating factors)

• Platelets ≥ 50,000/mm3 (untransfused)

• Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL

Adequate coagulation, renal, and hepatic function as follows:

• Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN for the laboratory. For a woman of childbearing potential (WCBP), a negative serum pregnancy test performed within 7 days prior to initiation of study treatment.

Note: Postmenopausal is defined as any of the following:

• Age ≥ 60 years

• Age < 60 years and amenorrheic for at least 1 year with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and plasma estradiol levels in the postmenopausal range

• Bilateral oophorectomy WCBP and male patients must agree to use a medically accepted form of birth control for the duration of study treatment and for at least 1 month following completion of venetoclax and/or idelalisib or 12 months following rituximab, whichever occurs later.

Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

Exclusion Criteria:

A patient who meets any of the following exclusion criteria is ineligible to participate in the study:

Known histologic transformation from CLL/SLL to an aggressive lymphoma (ie, Richter's transformation).

Known history of drug-induced pneumonitis History of inflammatory bowel disease. Central nervous system involvement Clinically significant infection including active hepatitis B or hepatitis C requiring active treatment, or active CMV infection Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seropositivity. * Note: HIV testing is not required.

Vaccination within 4 weeks prior to initiation of rituximab *Note: Review vaccination status. Patients should, if possible, be brought up-to-date with all immunizations in agreement with current immunization guidelines at least 4 weeks prior to initiating rituximab.•Ongoing requirement for warfarin (due to potential drug-drug interactions that may increase the exposure of warfarin and ensuing complications).

Has received any of the following within 14 days prior to initiation of study treatment:(NOTE THAT THIS CRITERION IS NOT APPLICABLE TO 2ND-STEP REGISTRATION)

• Anti-cancer therapy

• Investigational therapy Has not recovered to ≤ grade 1 toxicity(s) from prior therapy, except for chronic residual toxicities that in the opinion of the investigator are not clinically relevant given the known safety/toxicity profiles of the study regimen (eg, alopecia). (NOTE THAT THIS CRITERION IS NOT APPLICABLE TO 2ND-STEP REGISTRATION) Has not recovered to ≤ grade 1 toxicity(s) from idelalisib and rituximab, except for chronic residual toxicities that in the opinion of the investigator are not clinically relevant given the known safety/toxicity profiles of the study regimen (eg, alopecia). (NOTE THAT THIS CRITERION IS NOT APPLICABLE TO 1ST-STEP REGISTRATION)

Ongoing or planned treatment with any of the following:

• Steroid therapy for anti-neoplastic intent

• Strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor or inducer, and/or a narrow-therapeutic sensitive substrate

• P-gp inhibitor or narrow-therapeutic sensitive P-gp substrate If any of these agents have been used, patients must be off them for ≥ 1 week before initiation of study treatment.

Prior intolerance to any component of study regimen that, in the opinion of the investigator would preclude study treatment.

A cardiovascular disability status of New York Heart Association Class ≥ II Diagnosis or treatment for another malignancy within 1 year of study registration, with the exception of complete resection of basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, any in situ malignancy, or low-risk prostate cancer after curative therapy Active liver disease other than lymphoid involvement, inflammatory bowel disease, or Crohn's disease Malabsorption syndrome or other condition that precludes enteral route of administration.

Exhibits evidence of other clinically significant uncontrolled condition(s) including, but not limited to:

• Uncontrolled infection (viral, bacterial, or fungal)

• Grade 3 or greater neutropenic fever within 1 week prior to initiation of study treatment Active autoimmune cytopenias (for 2 or more weeks), including autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.

Pregnancy or breastfeeding Medical, psychological, or social condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, may increase the patient's risk, interfere with the patient's participation in the study or hinder evaluation of study results
