This trial is for adults with untreated, asymptomatic early CLL or SLL diagnosed less than 24 months earlier. Complete CLL-IPI risk testing is required.

The idea: high-risk patients receive oral acalabrutinib alone or with intravenous obinutuzumab, by random assignment. Acalabrutinib blocks BTK growth signaling; obinutuzumab targets CD20 on B cells. Low- or intermediate-risk patients undergo observation instead. Patients already needing treatment are excluded.

This phase 2 study plans 120 patients. Sameer Parikh leads at Mayo Clinic, with two recruiting US sites: Scottsdale and Rochester.
