Venetoclax as Consolidation in CLL Patients Treated With BTK Inhibitor Monotherapy

Is NCT06958705 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (May 2026). This Phase 2 trial studies multiple treatments including Venetoclax combined with Ibrutinib and Venetoclax combined with Zanubrutinib for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (cll) / small lymphocytic lymphoma (sll).

Treatment: Venetoclax combined with Ibrutinib · Venetoclax combined with Zanubrutinib · Venetoclax combined with Acalabrutinib · Venetoclax combined with OrelabrutinibThis 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.

Lab requirements

Blood counts

Platelet count > 50,000/µl, no platelet transfusion in prior 2 weeks; ANC ≥ 1000/µl in absence of growth factor support unless due to compromised bone marrow production from CLL, indicated by ≥ 80% CLL in marrow; Hemoglobin ≥ 8g/dL.

Kidney function

Serum creatinine clearance of ≥ 50 ml/min (calculated or measured)

Liver function

Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN or ≤ 3 × ULN for patients with Gilbert's disease; ALT and AST ≤ 3.0 × ULN, unless clearly due to disease involvement.

Cardiac function

Absence of uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia; Echocardiogram demonstrating LVEF ≥ 35%; NYHA functional class ≤ 2.

Patients must have adequate renal and hepatic function: Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN or ≤ 3 × ULN for patients with Gilbert's disease; Serum creatinine clearance of ≥ 50 ml/min (calculated or measured); ALT and AST ≤ 3.0 × ULN, unless clearly due to disease involvement. Adequate bone marrow function: Platelet count of greater than 50,000/µl, with no platelet transfusion in prior 2 weeks; ANC ≥ 1000/µl in the absence of growth factor support unless due to compromised bone marrow production from CLL, indicated by ≥ 80% CLL in marrow; Hemoglobin ≥ 8g/dL. Adequate cardiac function, as assessed by: Absence of uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia; Echocardiogram demonstrating LVEF ≥ 35%; NYHA functional class ≤ 2.
