Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Cirmtuzumab + Venetoclax
All patients will receive a minimum of 6 cycles (cycle = 28 days) of therapy with venetoclax and cirmtuzumab during the treatment period. For patients who achieve undetectable minimal residual disease (uMRD) positive after cycle 6, an additional 6 cycles of venetoclax and cirmtuzumab may be administered.

- Cancer response to treatment [ Time Frame: 6-24 months ]Percentage of subjects with undetectable measurable residual disease after 6 months of cirmtuzumab + venetoclax treatment.
- Frequency of adverse events [ Time Frame: 9-15 months ]Number of subjects with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0.
- Time to next CLL treatment. [ Time Frame: 9-24 months ]Measurement of time of anti-cancer activity
- Change in gene expression in leukemic cells [ Time Frame: 9-15 months ]The change in gene expression of leukemia cells by single cell PCR or RNA after treatment with cirmtuzumab, including analysis of archival pre-venetoclax sample, when available.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Must have detectable CLL/SLL (> 0.01% leukemia cells present)
- Must have received at least 12 months of venetoclax.
- Patients may be receiving venetoclax at the time of screening and study entry.
- Patients who have discontinued venetoclax more than 6 months prior to study entry must still have a disease burden meeting criteria for low risk of TLS (i.e. no lymph node greater than 5 cm in diameter; absolute lymphocyte count less than 25 k/uL)
Exclusion Criteria:
Evidence of other clinically significant uncontrolled condition(s) including, but not limited to:
- Uncontrolled and/or active systemic infection (viral, bacterial or fungal)
- Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C (HCV) requiring treatment. Note: subjects with serologic evidence of prior vaccination to HBV (i.e. hepatitis B surface (HBs) antigen negative, anti-HBs antibody positive and anti-hepatitis B core (HBc) antibody negative) or positive anti-HBc antibody from intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) may participate.
- Child class B or C cirrhosis
Treatment with any of the following within 7 days prior to the first dose of cirmtuzumab:
- Steroid therapy for anti-neoplastic intent
- Biologic agent (monoclonal antibody) within 30 days for anti-neoplastic intent.
- Chemotherapy (purine analog or alkylating agent) or target small molecule agent within 14 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter), or has not recovered to less than CTCAE grade 2 clinically significant adverse effect(s)/toxicity(s) of previous therapy.
- CLL therapy, aside from venetoclax.
- History of other malignancy that could affect compliance with the protocol or interpretation of results (example: patients with a history of curatively treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ carcinoma of the cervix are generally eligible.)
- Women who are pregnant or lactating
