Zanubrutinib and Rituximab for the Treatment of Previously Untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2022-05-26

Summary

This phase II trial studies how well zanubrutinib and rituximab work in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma for which the patient has not received treatment in the past (previously untreated). Zanubrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. The study is being done to find out if zanubrutinib combined with rituximab can help control previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma.
