Comparison of the Treatments of Obinutuzumab + Venetoclax Versus Obinutuzumab + Chlorambucil in Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
About the study
This open-label, multicenter, randomized Phase III study is designed to compare the efficacy and safety of a combined regimen of obinutuzumab and venetoclax versus obinutuzumab + chlorambucil in participants with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and coexisting medical conditions. The time on study treatment was approximately one year and the follow-up period will be up to 9 years.

- Adequate marrow function independent of growth factor or transfusion support within 2 weeks of screening as per protocol, unless cytopenia is due to marrow involvement of CLL
- Adequate liver function
