Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with relapsed or refractory CLL/SLL who meet iwCLL criteria, have received one or more prior therapies (each at least two cycles), have ECOG 0–2, and adequate organ function are ideal candidates, with prior BCL-2 inhibitor exposure allowed only if remission lasted ≥3 years and at least 2 years have passed since last BCL-2i use.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with known active prolymphocytic leukemia or suspected Richter's transformation, recent autologous transplant or CAR-T within 3 months, active graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic transplant, or known central nervous system involvement are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

What this trial studies
This randomized phase 3 trial compares two sonrotoclax-containing regimens (sonrotoclax plus obinutuzumab and sonrotoclax plus rituximab) against the established venetoclax plus rituximab regimen in adults with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma. The primary outcome is progression-free survival, and the study will also monitor safety and tolerability of the combinations. Eligible participants must meet iwCLL diagnostic criteria, have had at least one prior therapy, and have ECOG performance status 0–2 with adequate organ function; limited prior BCL-2 inhibitor exposure is permitted under specific timing and remission conditions. Treatments are administered at specialized cancer centers with scheduled clinical and laboratory follow-up.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, these sonrotoclax combinations could extend the time patients live without their disease getting worse compared with the current venetoclax-based option.
How similar studies have gone: Venetoclax plus anti-CD20 antibodies has shown efficacy in relapsed CLL/SLL, while sonrotoclax is a newer BCL-2 inhibitor with more limited clinical data in these combinations to date.
