Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with CLL/SLL or B-cell lymphoma needing treatment, who have either relapsed after BTKi therapy or are treatment-naïve but require systemic therapy, with adequate organ function and measurable disease.

Probably not a fit

Patients without BTKi-experienced disease or those whose disease does not respond to the combination may not experience benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is an interventional study combining NX-5948 (a protein degrader targeting BTK) with venetoclax, and possibly rituximab or obinutuzumab, in adults with CLL/SLL or related B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas. The study has phase 1 and phase 2 components to evaluate safety, how the drug behaves in the body, and effectiveness when used with these therapies. Eligible participants include those with relapsed/refractory disease after BTKi therapy or those with 1L disease requiring systemic treatment. Key inclusion criteria emphasize measurable disease, adequate organ function, and consent, while major exclusions include certain leukemias, recent anticancer therapy, or recent radiotherapy. The trial is sponsored by Nurix Therapeutics with sites in Colorado, Florida, and Kansas.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants could experience improved disease control and potentially longer responses when NX-5948 is combined with venetoclax and anti-CD20 antibodies.

How similar studies have gone: BTK-targeting strategies and combinations with venetoclax and anti-CD20 antibodies have shown activity in similar CLL/SLL/B-cell malignancies, though this exact degrader approach is investigational.
