Study on Limiting Treatment Time with Acalabrutinib and Obinutuzumab for People with CLL or SLL
Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT04722172
This clinical trial is exploring whether stopping treatment with acalabrutinib and obinutuzumab when the cancer responds, followed by a period of observation, is as effective as continuous treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL).

Program Overview
The study aims to test if limiting the time patients receive acalabrutinib and obinutuzumab can be safe and effective for those with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). Researchers want to see if stopping the medication when the cancer shows a positive response, and then observing without treatment, is better, the same, or worse than the usual approach of continuous treatment. Continuous treatment can lead to serious side effects and resistance to the drugs.
