Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Acalabrutinib and Venetoclax

For Cohort 1, each participant will be in the study for approximately 5 years (60 months) counting from C1D1, starting with 2 cycles of acalabrutinib lead-in treatment, followed by 12 cycles of AV combination treatment, and 4 years of follow-up.

For Cohort 2, each participant will be in the study for approximately 5 years (60 months) counting from C1D1 starting with 2 cycles of acalabrutinib lead-in treatment, followed by 22 cycles of AV combination treatment, and 3 years of follow-up.

Interventions

Acalabrutinib

Acalabrutinib is an orally available cBTKi that inhibits the activity of BTK and prevents the activation of the B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling pathway.

Venetoclax

Venetoclax is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of the anti-apoptotic protein BCL-2

Primary outcome measure

  • Overall Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: ORR assessed at multiple timepoints during treatment period (each cycle is 28 days). Timepoint for primary analysis is at completion of cycle 14 ]
