Venetoclax, Rituximab, and Rituximab and Hyaluronidase Human in Treating Participants with Recurrent or Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Trial Status: closed to accrual

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well venetoclax, rituximab, and rituximab and hyaluronidase human work in treating participants with chronic lymphocytic leukemia that has come back (recurrent) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as venetoclax, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab and rituximab and hyaluronidase human, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread or may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving venetoclax, rituximab, and rituximab and hyaluronidase human may work better in treating participants with recurrent or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
