Summary

This is an open-label, multicenter, phase 2, non-randomized study aiming to study the efficacy and safety of fixed-duration venetoclax consolidation in CLL patients who are on BTK inhibitor monotherapy. Patients who are on BTK inhibitor monotherapy for ≥ 6 months and still responsive are included. The study includes patients who are treatment-naive before taking BTK inhibitors. Patients will be treated with the BTK inhibitor plus full-dose venetoclax for 12 cycles after a standard 5-week dose ramp-up. Peripheral blood and bone marrow MRD status will be evaluated during and after the treatment. After the completion of combination therapy, patients will stop both BTK inhibitor and venetoclax and be followed.

Conditions

• Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) / Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL)

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Venetoclax combined with Ibrutinib	All Patients will be treated with venetoclax for 12 cycles after a standard 5-week dose ramp-up, as an add-on to the primary using ibrutinib. After the completion of combination therapy, patients will stop both the ibrutinib and venetoclax then be followed. Each cycle is 28 days. At the start of cycle 0, patients will start venetoclax by 20mg-50mg-100mg-200mg daily in a weekly dose escalation way. The combination of full dose venetoclax (400mg) and ibrutinib will continue for an additional 12 cycles. Venetoclax and ibrutinib will be continued until the completion of cycle 12, start of new CLL-directed therapies, disease progression or unacceptable toxicities, depending on which comes first. Ibrutinib is intended to be admistratered orally 420mg once daily.
DRUG	Venetoclax combined with Zanubrutinib	All Patients will be treated with venetoclax for 12 cycles after a standard 5-week dose ramp-up, as an add-on to the primary using zanubrutinib. After the completion of combination therapy, patients will stop both the zanubrutinib and venetoclax then be followed. Each cycle is 28 days. At the start of cycle 0, patients will start venetoclax by 20mg-50mg-100mg-200mg daily in a weekly dose escalation way. The combination of full dose venetoclax (400mg) and zanubrutinib will continue for an additional 12 cycles. Venetoclax and zanubrutinib will be continued until the completion of cycle 12, start of new CLL-directed therapies, disease progression or unacceptable toxicities, depending on which comes first. Zanubrutinib is intended to be admistratered orally 160mg twice daily.
DRUG	Venetoclax combined with Acalabrutinib	All Patients will be treated with venetoclax for 12 cycles after a standard 5-week dose ramp-up, as an add-on to the primary using acalabrutinib. After the completion of combination therapy, patients will stop both the acalabrutinib and venetoclax then be followed. Each cycle is 28 days. At the start of cycle 0, patients will start venetoclax by 20mg-50mg-100mg-200mg daily in a weekly dose escalation way. The combination of full dose venetoclax (400mg) and acalabrutinib will continue for an additional 12 cycles. Venetoclax and acalabrutinib will be continued until the completion of cycle 12, start of new CLL-directed therapies, disease progression or unacceptable toxicities, depending on which comes first. Acalabrutinib is intended to be admistratered orally 100mg twice daily.
DRUG	Venetoclax combined with Orelabrutinib	All Patients will be treated with venetoclax for 12 cycles after a standard 5-week dose ramp-up, as an add-on to the primary using orelabrutinib. After the completion of combination therapy, patients will stop both the orelabrutinib and venetoclax then be followed. Each cycle is 28 days. At the start of cycle 0, patients will start venetoclax by 20mg-50mg-100mg-200mg daily in a weekly dose escalation way. The combination of full dose venetoclax (400mg) and orelabrutinib will continue for an additional 12 cycles. Venetoclax and orelabrutinib will be continued until the completion of cycle 12, start of new CLL-directed therapies, disease progression or unacceptable toxicities, depending on which comes first. Orelabrutinib is intended to be admistratered orally 150mg once daily.
