Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Relapsed/refractory CLL in need of treatment according to iwCLL (international workshop on CLL) criteria
  • In case of a recent previous treatment, patients must have recovered from acute toxicities and treatment regimen must be stopped within the following time periods before start of the study treatment in the CLL2-BAAG trial:
  • chemotherapy ≥ 28 days
  • antibody treatment ≥ 14 days
  • kinase inhibitors, BCL2-antagonists or immuno-modulatory agents ≥ 3 days
  • corticosteroids may be applied until the start of the BAAG-regimen, these have to be reduced to an equivalent of ≤ 20mg prednisolone per day during treatment Please note: Patients with a progression during previous treatment with venetoclax, ibrutinib or another BTK inhibitor, as well as patients with a known resistance mutation (e.g. BTK-/PLCg2) are excluded from study participation. However, patients who progressed after termination of treatment with venetoclax, ibrutinib, other BTK inhibitors and/or obinutuzumab or who stopped treatment due to in-tolerance to ibrutinib are eligible for participation.
  • Adequate renal function, as indicated by a creatinine clearance ≥30ml/min calculated according to the modified formula of Cockcroft and Gault or directly measured with 24 hr. urine collection
  • Adequate hematologic function as indicated by a neutrophil count ≥ 1.0 x 109/L, a hemoglobin value ≥8.0 g/dL and a platelet count ≥ 25 x 109/L, unless directly attributable to the patient´s CLL (e.g. bone marrow infiltration), in this case, platelet count should be ≥ 10 × 109/L.
  • Adequate liver function as indicated by a total bilirubin ≤2x, AST/ALT ≤2.5x the institutional ULN value, unless directly attributable to the patient's CLL or to Gilbert's Syndrome
  • Negative serological testing for hepatitis B (HBsAg nega-tive and anti-HBc negative, patients positive for anti-HBc may be included if PCR for HBV DNA is negative and HBV-DNA PCR is performed every 4 weeks until one year after last dosage of GA101 (obinutuzumab)), negative testing for hepatitis-C RNA and negative HIV test within 6 weeks prior to registration
  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance status 0 - 2, ECOG 3 is only permitted if related to CLL (e.g. due to anemia or severe constitutional symptoms)
  • Life expectancy ≥ 6 months
  • Ability and willingness to provide written informed consent and to adhere to the study visit schedule and other proto-col requirements

Exclusion

  • (Suspicion of) transformation of CLL (i.e. Richter's trans-formation, pro-lymphocytic leukemia) or central nervous system (CNS) involvement
  • Progression during previous treatment with venetoclax, ibrutinib or another BTK inhibitor, and/or presence of known mutations associated with resistance to therapy, e.g. Bru-ton´s Tyrosine Kinase and Phospholipase C Gamma 2 (PLCg2)
  • Confirmed progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML)
  • Malignancies other than CLL currently requiring systemic therapies
  • Uncontrolled infection requiring systemic treatment
  • Any comorbidity or organ system impairment rated with a CIRS (cumulative illness rating scale) score of 4, excluding the eyes/ears/nose/throat/larynx organ system1 or any other life-threatening illness, medical condition or organ system dysfunction that - in the investigator´s opinion - could compromise the patients safety or interfere with the absorption or metabolism of the study drugs (e.g, inability to swallow tablets or impaired resorption in the gastrointestinal tract)
  • Significantly increased risk of bleeding according to the investigator´s evaluation, e.g. due known bleeding diathesis (e.g. von-Willebrandt´s disease or hemophilia), major surgical procedure ≤ 4 weeks or stroke/intracranial hemorrhage ≤ 6 months.
  • Requirement of therapy with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors/inducers or anticoagulant with phenprocoumon (marcumar) or other vitamin K-antagonists
  • Use of investigational agents ≤ 28 days prior to start of study treatment, however, kinase inhibitors, BCL2-antagonists and antibody treatment are allowed in accordance with inclusion criterion number 1 (see above).
  • Known hypersensitivity to obinutuzumab (GA101), venetoclax (ABT-199), acalabrutinib (ACP-196) or any of the excipients Please note: Patients with a known hypersensitivity to bendamustine are allowed to participate but will not receive a debulking with bendamustine
  • Pregnant women and nursing mothers (a negative preg-nancy test is required for all women of childbearing potential within 7 days before start of treatment)
  • Fertile men or women of childbearing potential unless:
  • surgically sterile or ≥ 2 years after the onset of menopause, or
  • willing to use two methods of reliable contraception including one highly effective (Pearl Index \<1) and one additional effective (barrier) method during study treatment and for 18 months after end of study treatment.
  • Vaccination with a live vaccine ≤ 28 days prior to registration
  • Legal incapacity
  • Prisoners or subjects who are institutionalized by regula-tory or court order
  • Persons who are in dependence to the sponsor or an investigator
