Brief Summary

This is a single-arm, open-label study of sonrotoclax plus zanubrutinib with MRD-driven treatment duration in patients with previously untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL).

The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of MRD-guided zanubrutinib plus sonrotoclax for first-line CLL/SLL treatment.

Detailed Description

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) are often considered different variations of the same disease due to their many similarities. There is an urgent need for new treatments to improve patients' quality of life, prolong survival, and manage disease-related symptoms.

There are several different methods for treating front-line therapy, including Chemoimmunotherapy (CIT), Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKis), and BCL-2 inhibitors (BCL2is). Continuous treatment with BTK inhibitors is necessary for the treatment of CLL or SLL. However, younger patients may need to limit their therapeutic duration. The combination of BTK inhibitors and BCL-2 inhibitors is believed to be an optimizing regimen that provides a limited duration of therapy.

The main aim of this study is to assess whether MRD-guided zanubrutinib, in combination with sonrotoclax, can be an effective first-line treatment option for adult patients with treatment-naïve CLL or SLL. The goal is to achieve long-lasting and more profound responses, which could allow for the possibility of discontinuing treatment.

Sonrotoclax Plus ZanubrutinibSonrotoclax* Participants will receive from the start of Cycle 1 a standard dose of zanubrutinib twice daily orally for three cycles and in combination with sonrotoclax starting from Cycle 4 onwards at increasing doses twice a week until the target dose is reached from Cycle 5 and continuing until the end of Cycle 15 (each cycle is 28 days). Patients with a measurable minimal residual disease (MRD) will receive another 12 cycles of Zanubrutinib in combination with sonrotoclax until their MRD is undetectable. * Interventions: * Drug: Sonrotoclax * Drug: Zanubrutinib

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
4-Year Progressive Free Survival (PFS) Rate4 years after enrollment

PFS is defined as the time from the date of enrollment to the date of first confirmed disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first, as determined by investigators

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rate of peripheral blood (PB) and Bone marrow (BM) undetectable minimal residual disease (uMRD)At screening, the end of Cycle 14 and Cycle 26 (each cycle is 28 days)

Rate of PB and BM uMRD is defined as proportion of participants achieving remission based on flow cytometry (FCM) result of \< 1 CLL cell per 100,000 leukocytes (\< 10 \^-4 ), after completion of 12 and 24 cycles of sonrotoclax treatment.

Complete Response Rate (CRR; Complete Response/Complete Response with Incomplete Blood Count Recovery [CR/CRi]) RateUp to 4 years

CR/CRi rate is defined as the percentage of participants achieving a response of complete response (CR), CR with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) per 2018 IWCLL criteria, as determined by investigators

Overall Response Rate (ORR)Up to 4 years

ORR is defined as the percentage of participants achieving a response of complete response (CR), CR with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi), nodular partial response (nPR), partial response (PR), or PR with lymphocytosis (PRL) evaluated under the 2018 IWCLL criteria, as determined byinvestigators

Duration of Response (DOR)Up to 4 years

DOR was calculated for participants achieving a response (CR, CRi, nPR, PR) based on 2018 IWCLL response criteria in CLL or a response (PR or better) based on 2014 Lugano response criteria and defined as the interval between the date of initial documentation of a response mentioned above until disease progression (PD) or death from any cause, whichever occurred first

Progression Free Survival (PFS)Up to 4 years

PFS is defined as the time from the date of enrollment to the date of first confirmed disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first, as determined by investigators

Overall Survival (OS)Up to 4 years

OS is defined as time from the date of enrollment to the date of death because of any cause

Time to Next Therapy (TTNT)Up to 4 years
