Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Prior CLL treatment (including monoclonal antibodies, chemotherapy, small molecules, including CD20 antibodies, BTK inhibitors and bcl-2 inhibitors for any indication) 2.

History of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy 5. HIV infection (a negative test is required) 6. Known active infection 7. Malignancies other than CLL requiring systemic therapies (except anti-hormonal therapies) or considered to impact survival 8.

Note: If a subject had major surgery, they must have recovered adequately from any toxicity and/or complications from the intervention before the first dose of study drug. 15. Known hypersensitivity to any active substance or to any of the excipients of one of the drugs used in the trial. 16. Pregnant women and nursing mothers (a negative pregnancy test is required for all women of childbearing potential within 7 days before start of treatment; further pregnancy testing will be performed regularly). 17.

Requires treatment with proton pump inhibitors (eg, omeprazole, esomeprazole, lansoprazole, dexlansoprazole, rabeprazole, or pantoprazole). Subjects receiving proton pump inhibitors who switch to H2-receptor antagonists or antacids are eligible for enrollment to this study.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Primary Objective phase 2 part: Grade =3-Infection-free survival in the treatment arm compared to the observation arm 12 weeks after finishing treatment (24 weeks after treatment initiation). This is a non-inferiority analysis as detailed in the statistical analysis plan to assure safety of the combination treatment in this preemptive trial population. Primary Objective optional phase 3 part: Grade =3-infection free and CLL-treatment-free survival 2 years after enrollment ;Secondary Objective: Secondary Objectives: - Grade =3-infection free and CLL-treatment-free survival at end of treatment, 1 year and 2 years after enrollment - Rate of overall survival (OS) and cause of death - Treatment free survival - Rate and CTCAE V5.0 grade of infections - Response rate and duration according to IWCLL criteria - Treatment related adverse events, type, frequency and severity during and for 2 years after treatment - Immune function as assessed by immune phenotyping, functional TruCulture assays and measurements of cytokine levels Exploratory Objectives: - MRD levels in bone marrow and peripheral blood - Quality of life during and for 2 years after treatment, QLQC30 and CLL17 ;Primary end point(s): Grade =3-Infection-free survival in the treatment arm compared to the observation;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24 weeks after treatment initiation | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): • Grade =3-infection free and CLL-treatment-free survival at end of treatment, 1 year and 2 years after enrollment • Rate of overall survival (OS) and cause of death • Treatment free survival • Rate and CTCAE V5.0 grade of infections • Response rate and duration according to IWCLL criteria • Treatment related adverse events, type, frequency and severity during and for 2 years after treatment • Immune function as assessed by immune phenotyping, functional TruCulture assays and measurements of cytokine levels ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: End of treatment, 1 and 2 years after enrolment and continuously as rate | — |
