Nemtabrutinib plus venetoclax versus standard add-on therapy
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This Phase 3 study tests whether adding nemtabrutinib to venetoclax works better than the usual next treatment approach (venetoclax plus rituximab) in people with relapsed or treatment-resistant CLL/SLL. It may help by improving how well the cancer responds after at least one prior therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have confirmed CLL/SLL that is active and needs treatment now.
- Your disease has come back or did not respond to at least one previous therapy.
- You must have evidence of disease burden (a way doctors can measure the cancer’s activity).
- Your body strength (ECOG) is 0 to 2, and you’re expected to live at least 3 months.
- You can take and keep oral medicine down (you can swallow and absorb pills).
- You must not have certain infections or conditions (like active hepatitis B or C, or infections needing IV antibiotics).

This Phase 2 trial tests nemtabrutinib (MK-1026), an oral medicine, in people with certain blood cancers that have come back or didn’t respond to earlier treatments. It aims to see how well the drug works and whether it is safe.
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (nemtabrutinib and venetoclax) to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) in patients who have never received cancer treatment before. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink the cancer and help patients live longer.
This trial tests a new drug, nemtabrutinib, against two standard treatments for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who haven't had treatment yet. The goal is to see if the new drug works better at controlling the disease.
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (nemtabrutinib, venetoclax, and obinutuzumab) for people with CLL or SLL who need treatment but haven't taken similar targeted therapies before. It aims to see if this new cocktail works better together.
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination of three medicines to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) that has not been treated before and where the goal is to achieve very low remaining disease. It may help some people stay in remission longer, but eligibility depends on your age, organ function, and prior treatments.
This Phase 2 study tests how well zanubrutinib (a targeted pill) combined with venetoclax (another targeted pill) works for adults with CLL/SLL that came back or progressed after prior treatment. It may help by stopping cancer cells through two different pathways, aiming to shrink disease and improve blood counts.
