After debulking, obinutuzumab (1000 mg) was administered via intravenous infusion on Day 1 of one 5-week and four 4-week cycles during the obinutuzumab/venetoclax combination part of the regimen. Venetoclax was administered according to a weekly ramp-up schedule over 5 weeks to the recommended daily dose of 400 mg. |
Administered via intravenous infusion
Other Names:
The venetoclax dose was administered according to a weekly ramp-up schedule over 5 weeks to the recommended daily dose of 400 mg.
Venetoclax was continued for a total duration of up to 53 weeks, including the 5-week ramp-up schedule.
Participants were instructed to take venetoclax tablets with a meal and water at approximately the same time each day.

Bendamustine (90 mg/m^2 ) was to be administered to those with nodes or nodal mass > 10 cm, or with del(11q) and > 5 cm nodes, or at the discretion of the investigator as above, via intravenous infusion over 10 minutes on Days 1 and 2 (or Days 2 and 3 at the discretion of the investigator during Cycle 1) of each 28-day cycle for up to 6 cycles during the debulking regimen. After debulking, obinutuzumab (1000 mg) was administered via intravenous infusion on Day 1 of one 5-week and four 4-week cycles during the obinutuzumab/venetoclax combination part of the regimen. Venetoclax was administered according to a weekly ramp-up schedule over 5 weeks to the recommended daily dose of 400 mg. |

Time Frame: From first dose of study drug until the last participant completed Week 65 assessments (data cut-off date of 13 October 2021); overall median time on follow-up was up to 787 days
|
DoR is defined as the number of days from the date of first response (CR, CRi, nPR, or PR per the 2008 Modified IWCLL NCI-WG criteria) to the date of disease progression or death, whichever occurs first.
All disease progression was to be included regardless whether the event occurred during or after the participant was taking any study drug (either venetoclax, obinutuzumab, or bendamustine).
Duration of response was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier (K-M) methodology.
