ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is investigating a new treatment approach for patients with newly diagnosed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL). The study is comparing the effectiveness and safety of a combination of two drugs, Lisaftoclax (APG-2575) and Acalabrutinib, against standard immunochemotherapy. The goal is to find out if this new combination can help patients better than the usual treatment options.
To participate in this study, patients need to have a confirmed diagnosis of CLL or SLL and meet certain health criteria, such as having measurable disease and good overall health (an ECOG score of 0-2, which means they can carry out daily activities). This trial is open to both men and women aged 65 to 74, and participants will need to agree to use effective birth control during the study and for some time afterward. Those who join can expect regular check-ups and monitoring to assess how well the treatment is working and to ensure their safety throughout the study.
