About this study
Official title: A Phase 1 Study Evaluating Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Efficacy of ABBV-453 in Adult Subjects With Relapsed or Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL)
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia in Western countries. The purpose of this study is to assess how well ABBV-453 works adult participants with relapsed/refractory (R/R) untreated CLL/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). Adverse events, pharmacokinetics, and change in disease activity will be assessed.
ABBV-453 is an investigational drug for the treatment of CLL and SLL. Participants will be enrolled with a specific target dose and receive obinutuzumab during the debulking period followed escalating doses of ABBV-453, until the appropriate target dose is achieved. Approximately 60 adult participants with previously R/R CLL/SLL will be enrolled in the study in approximately 40 sites across the world.
Read more
Participants will receive intravenous (IV) obinutuzumab as part of the debulking period, followed by escalating doses of oral ABBV-453 until the appropriate target dose is achieved. The estimated study duration is 3 years.
There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, and checking for side effects.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The investigator assesses the relationship of each event to the use of study. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is an important medical event that, based on medical judgment, may jeopardize the participant and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above.
Measured: Up to 3 Years
Maximum Administered Dose (MAD) of ABBV-453
MAD is defined as the highest administered dose if no maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined.
Measured: Up to 18 Months
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of ABBV-453
MTD is defined as the highest dose administered that does not result in a final determination of de-escalate at that dose level.
Measured: Up to 18 Months
Secondary outcomes (10)
Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of ABBV-453
Cmax is defined as the maximum observed plasma/serum concentration of ABBV-453.
Measured: Up to 30 Months
Time to Maximum Observed Concentration (Tmax) of ABBV-453
Tmax is defined as the time to maximum observed concentration of ABBV-453.
Measured: Up to 30 Months
Area Under the Plasma/Serum Concentration Versus Time Curve (AUC) of ABBV-453
Area under the plasma/serum concentration versus time curve (AUC) of ABBV-453.
Measured: Up to 30 Months
Overall Response Rate (ORR)
Percentage of participants achieving a complete response (CR), complete response with incomplete count recovery (CRi), partial response (PR), or nodular partial response (nPR) using disease-specific criteria per the International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (iwCLL, 2018).
Measured: Up to 3 Years
Duration of Response (DOR) for Participants with PR/nPR or Better
DOR is defined as the time between the initial PR or better response assessment per Investigator according to iwCLL criteria to the time of progressive disease (PD) or death of any cause, whichever occurs earlier.
Measured: Up to 3 Years
Complete response rate (CRR)
CRR is defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response (BOR) of CR or CRi per Investigator review according to iwCLL for participants with relapsed or refractory CLL/SLL, regardless of reasons for study drug discontinuation, and prior to start of subsequent anti-cancer therapies in the participants receiving at least one dose of ABBV-453 monotherapy.
Measured: Up to 3 Years
Duration of Complete Response (DOCR)
DOCR is defined as the time between the initial CR/CRi response assessment per Investigator according to iwCLL criteria to the time of PD or death of any cause, whichever occurs earlier.
Measured: Up to 3 Years
Percentage of Participants Achieving an Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) Negativity Among Participants Achieving a PR, nPR, CR, or CRi
MRD response is defined as < 1 cell in 10,000 leukocytes (< 10^-4).
Measured: Up to 3 Years
Progression-free survival (PFS)
PFS is defined as time from first study treatment to a documented PD (based on iwCLL criteria) as determined by the Investigator, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs earlier.
Measured: Up to 3 Years
Overall survival (OS)
OS is defined as the time from the first date of study treatment until date of death due to any cause.
Measured: Up to 3 Years

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Obinutuzumab and ABBV-453 in people with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma, run by AbbVie at 21 sites in 5 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 21 sites in United States, Germany, Australia, Israel, Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: Up to 3 Years). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Sep 2026.
