A Study of NX-5948 in Adults With CLL/SLL Previously Treated With a Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor and a B-cell Lymphoma-2 Inhibitor (DAYBreak CLL-201)

A Single-arm, Phase 2, Open-label, Multicenter Study to Evaluate NX-5948 in Adults With Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL) Previously Exposed to a Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (BTKi) and a B-cell Lymphoma-2 Inhibitor (BCL-2i)

What to expect

No one can promise a trial will help you personally — that is what the research is trying to find out.

What participation involves

Not stated in the study description — ask the study team about visits and procedures.

Compensation
Not stated
  • Study-related exams and procedures are typically provided at no cost. This is how many trials work in general — confirm the details for this study with the study team.
  • Participants are monitored closely by the research team throughout the study.
  • Some participants may receive access to an investigational treatment, which is still being studied.
  • Your participation helps researchers learn whether this approach could help future patients.

About this study

In plain language

This study tests whether NX-5948 (bexobrutideg) works to treat CLL or SLL, two types of blood cancer. It is for adults whose cancer came back or did not respond after treatment with both types of BTK inhibitors and a BCL-2 inhibitor. Taking part may last up to 5 years or longer if the cancer does not get worse.

This is a study for patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who have previously received treatment with a BTK inhibitor (covalent and non-covalent) and a BCL-2 inhibitor. The main purpose of this study is to test if NX-5948 (bexobrutideg) works to treat patients with CLL/SLL. Participation could last up to 5 years, and possibly longer, if the disease does not progress.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.

Eligibility

Who can join

  • You are at least 18 years old.
  • You have confirmed CLL or SLL that came back or did not respond to treatment, and you meet standard rules for needing treatment throughout the body.
  • You can care for yourself and are up and about for at least half of your waking hours, even if you cannot work.
  • You have received a covalent BTK inhibitor, a non-covalent BTK inhibitor, and a BCL-2 inhibitor. These cancer drugs may have been given together or separately, for at least 2 treatment cycles in a row per treatment course.
  • If you have SLL, your cancer can be measured on scans.
  • Your organs and bone marrow, which makes blood cells, work well enough for the study.
  • You understand the study procedures and sign a form agreeing to take part.

Who can't join

  • You have or may have prolymphocytic leukemia, another type of blood cancer, or Richter's transformation, when CLL/SLL changes into a faster-growing cancer.
  • You recently received an experimental drug or cancer treatment: within 14 days or 5 drug half-lives, whichever is shorter. A half-life is the time for half a drug to leave the body. Antibody treatment must stop at least 4 weeks before study treatment. Other cancer drugs that act throughout the body are not allowed during the study, except certain hormone treatments for breast or prostate cancer.
  • You had radiation to a small area to ease symptoms within 7 days, or radiation to a large area within 28 days, before starting the study drug.
  • You took steroids that act throughout the body at more than 20 mg a day of prednisone, or an equal dose of another steroid, within 7 days before study treatment. Steroids given before scan contrast dye are allowed.
  • You took other drugs that lower the body's immune defenses within 60 days before the first study dose.
  • You have received a BTK degrader, a drug that breaks down the BTK protein.
  • You had CAR T-cell therapy, which uses changed immune cells to fight cancer, or a blood-forming cell transplant using your own or a donor's cells within 90 days before joining.
  • You had certain blood clots, a stroke, or bleeding inside the skull within 6 months before the planned start of the study drug. Other study rules may also apply.

Simplified for readability. The official criteria below are what the study team uses.
