Nemtabrutinib and Venetoclax for the Treatment of Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma
United States25 participantsStarted 2026-09-01
Plain-language summary
This phase II trial tests how well nemtabrutinib and venetoclax work in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). Nemtabrutinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It blocks a protein called BTK, which is present on B-cells (a type of white blood cell) in cancers such as CLL or SLL at abnormal levels. This may help keep cancer cells from growing and spreading. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking BCL-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Giving nemtabrutinib in combination with venetoclax may kill more cancer cells in patients with CLL or SLL.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Confirmed diagnosis of CLL/SLL meeting criteria established in the 2018 International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (iwCLL) guidelines
* Is an individual of any sex/gender, who is at least 18 years of age on the day of signing informed consent
* Participants must have treatment-naïve CLL/SLL. Palliative loco-regional radiotherapy, rituximab for autoimmune conditions, or corticosteroids for symptom control will not be considered prior therapy

* Massive nodes (\>= 10 cm) or progressive or symptomatic lymphadenopathy
* Progressive lymphocytosis with a lymphocyte doubling time \< 6 months or an increase of \>= 50% over a 2 month period
* Autoimmune anemia and/or thrombocytopenia that is poorly responsive to standard therapy
* Symptomatic or functional extranodal involvement (e.g. skin, kidney, lung, spine)
* Constitutional symptoms, which include any of the following:
* Unintentional weight loss of 10% or more within 6 months
* Significant fatigue
* Fevers \> 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit (F) for 2 weeks or more without evidence of infection

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
