Brief summary

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia (cancer of blood cells). The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of venetoclax in combination with obinutuzumab or acalabrutinib in the treatment of CLL. Adverse events and change in disease activity will be assessed. Venetoclax in combination with obinutuzumab or acalabrutinib is being investigated in the treatment of CLL. Study doctors put the participants in 1 of 4 groups, called treatment arms. Participants will receive oral venetoclax in combination with intravenously (IV) infused obinutuzumab or oral acalabrutinib at in different dosing schemes as part of treatment. Approximately 170 adult participants with CLL who are being treated with venetoclax will be enrolled in the study in approximately 80 sites worldwide. Participants in Arm A will receive oral venetoclax in combination with IV infused obinutuzumab, with a 5 week venetoclax ramp up. Participants in Arm B will receive oral venetoclax in combination with oral acalabrutinib, with a 5 week venetoclax ramp up. Participants in Arm C and Arm D will receive oral venetoclax in combination with oral acalabrutinib, with differing venetoclax ramp up periods. The total study duration is approximately 28 months. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

Inclusion criteria

* Diagnosis of documented, previously untreated, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) requiring treatment according to the 2018 international workshop on chronic lymphocytic leukemia (iwCLL) criteria and have a life expectancy of \> 6 months. * Previously untreated small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) meeting the 2018 iwCLL criteria for treatment will also be equally considered as CLL for eligibility, screening, treatment and evaluation. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status \<= 2. * Adequate marrow function independent of growth factor or transfusion support within 2 weeks of screening, unless cytopenia is due to marrow involvement of CLL as listed in the protocol. * Creatinine clearance (CrCl) \>= 30 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault formula are eligible for inclusion.

Exclusion criteria

\- Active/uncontrolled infection, no Richter's transformation, no active immune thrombocytopenia.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Part 1: Percentage of Participants with Treatment-Emergent Laboratory Tumor Lysis Syndrome (TLS)-VenetoclaxUp to 28 MonthsTLS is defined per Howard criteria that require a clinical intervention per independent review committee (IRC) assessment during the venetoclax ramp-up period in previously untreated participants with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) achieving a medium tumor burden with creatinine clearance (CrCl) of at least 80 ml/min or low tumor burden (regardless of CrCl level) after debulking therapy.
Part 1: Percentage of Participants with Hyperkalemia-VenetoclaxUp to 28 MonthsHyperkalemia (potassium \>6.0 mmol/L) is defined per Howard criteria that require a clinical intervention per IRC assessment during the venetoclax ramp-up period in previously untreated participants with CLL achieving a medium tumor burden with CrCl of at least 80 ml/min or low tumor burden (regardless of CrCl level) after debulking therapy.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Part 1: Percentage of Participants with Treatment-Emergent Laboratory TLSUp to 28 MonthsTLS is defined per Howard criteria that require a clinical intervention per IRC assessment, at each dose level and at each laboratory monitoring point during ramp-up period in previously untreated participants with CLL achieving a medium tumor burden with CrCl of at least 80 ml/min or low tumor burden (regardless of CrCl level) after debulking therapy.
Part 1: Percentage of Participants with HyperkalemiaUp to 28 MonthsHyperkalemia (potassium \>6.0 mmol/L) is defined per Howard criteria that require a clinical intervention per independent review committee (IRC) assessment during the venetoclax ramp-up period in previously untreated participants with CLL achieving a medium tumor burden with CrCl of at least 80 ml/min or low tumor burden (regardless of CrCl level) after debulking therapy.
Part 1: Percentage of Participants with Treatment-Emergent TLS-Related EventsUp to 28 MonthsTLS-related events are defined as laboratory TLS per Howard criteria requiring clinical intervention per IRC assessment, hyperkalemia (potassium \>6.0 mmol/L) requiring clinical intervention per IRC assessment, laboratory TLS per Howard criteria irrespective of clinical intervention, Hyperkalemia (potassium \>6.0 mmol/L) irrespective of clinical intervention, clinical TLS per Howard criteria irrespective of clinical intervention, any single TLS-related lab abnormality requiring clinical intervention per Investigator.
Part 1: Percentage of Participants with Adverse Events (AE) of TLSUp to 28 MonthsAEs of TLS is defined as a blood chemistry changes or symptom suggestive of TLS.
Part 1: Percentage of Participants with Reduction of Tumor Burden from BaselineUp to 28 MonthsPercentage of participants with reduction of tumor burden.
