This trial is for adults with CLL or SLL that returned or resisted treatment and now needs therapy. Prior progression on a BTK inhibitor or venetoclax, and intolerance to acalabrutinib or venetoclax, are excluded.

The idea: combine acalabrutinib’s blockade of growth signals with venetoclax’s blockade of a survival protein. Acalabrutinib starts alone; venetoclax joins in cycle four. Both are oral, with treatment lasting up to 26 28-day cycles. Bone-marrow sampling is required.

This phase 2 study plans 20 patients. Mazyar Shadman leads at Fred Hutch in Seattle, the sole recruiting US site.
