1.Must understand and voluntarily sign an informed consent form. 2.Age ≥ 18 years at the time of signing the informed consent form. 3.Must be able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements. 4.Must have a documented diagnosis of B-cell CLL. 5.Must have been treated with a purine analog-containing regimen in the first and/or second line induction therapy. 6.Must have achieved a minimum response of partial response (PR, CRi, CR and MRD-negative CR) following completion of second-line induction therapy prior to randomization. Second-line induction therapy must be documented to have been of sufficient duration. 7.Must have completed last cycle of second-line induction no less than 8 weeks (56 days) and no greater than 16 weeks (112 days) prior to randomization. 8.Must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of ≤2. 9.Females of childbearing potential (FCBP)? must: Have a negative medically supervised pregnancy test prior to starting of study therapy. She must agree to ongoing pregnancy testing during the course of the study, and after end of study therapy. This applies even if the subject practices complete and continued sexual abstinence. Either commit to continued abstinence from heterosexual intercourse (which must be reviewed on a monthly basis) or agree to use, and be able to comply with, effective contraception without interruption, 28 days prior to starting study drug, during the study therapy (including dose interruptions), and for 28 days after discontinuation of study therapy. 10.Male subjects must: Agree to use a condom during sexual contact with a FCBP, even if they have had a vasectomy, throughout study drug therapy, during any dose interruption and after cessation of study therapy. Agree to not donate semen during study drug therapy and for a period after end of study drug therapy. 11.All subjects must: Have an understanding that the study drug could have a potential teratogenic risk. Agree to abstain from donating blood while taking study drug therapy and following discontinuation of study drug therapy. Agree not to share study medication with another person. All subjects must be counseled about pregnancy precautions and risks of fetal exposure.
