A Study Evaluating the Impact of Venetoclax on the Quality of Life for Subjects With Relapsed (Your Cancer Has Come Back) or Refractory (no Response to Previous Cancer Treatments) Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) While Receiving Venetoclax Monotherapy (a Single Agent). (VENICE II)

Open-Label, Single Arm, Phase 3b, Multi-Center Study Evaluating the Impact of Venetoclax on the Quality of Life of Relapsed/Refractory Subjects With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) (VENICE II)

The purpose of this open-label, single-arm study was to evaluate the impact of venetoclax on the quality of life of participants including those with with relapsed/refractory (R/R) chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL; a type of cancer affecting the blood and the bone marrow) with or without the 17p deletion or TP53 mutation, including participants with an unknown status, as well as R/R CLL participants who had been previously treated with B-cell receptor inhibitor (BCRi) therapy. The starting dose of venetoclax was 20 mg once daily. The dose must have been gradually increased over a period of 5 weeks up to the daily dose of 400 mg. Participants may have continued receiving venetoclax for up to 2 years. After the treatment period, participants may have continued on into a 2-year follow-up period.

Positive values indicate improvement from baseline.

The scores for the 5 dimensions are used to compute a single utility index score ranging from zero (0.0) to 1 (1.0) representing the general health status of the individual, with '0' defined as a health state equivalent to being dead and '1' is full health. The higher the score the better the health status. Positive values indicate improvement from baseline.	Baseline, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, Final visit (at study drug discontinuation and/or upon discontinuation from the study, up to Week 108)
Complete Remission Rate (Complete Remission [CR] + Complete Remission With Incomplete Marrow Recovery [CRi])	Complete remission rate (CR + CRi) is defined as the percentage of participants achieving a CR or CRi as their best response (per the investigator assessment) based on 2008 Modified International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL) National Cancer Institute-Working Group (NCI-WG) Guidelines criteria.	From the first dose of study drug until the last participant completed the Week 48 assessments; median time on follow-up was 184 weeks
Overall Response Rate (ORR)	ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who achieved complete remission (CR), complete remission with incomplete marrow recovery (CRi), nodular partial remission (nPR), or confirmed partial remission (PR) based on the 2008 Modified International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL) National Cancer Institute-Working Group (NCI-WG) Guidelines criteria as assessed by investigator using the best response at any time during the study.	From the first dose of study drug until the last participant completed the Week 48 assessments; median time on follow-up was 184 weeks
Duration of Overall Response (DOR)	DoR is defined as the number of days from the date of first response (complete remission (CR), complete remission with incomplete marrow recovery (CRi), nodular partial remission (nPR), or confirmed partial remission (PR) based on the 2008 Modified International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL) National Cancer Institute-Working Group (NCI-WG) Guidelines criteria to the earliest date of progressive disease (PD) or death. DOR was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier (K-M) methodology.	From the first dose of study drug until the last participant completed the Week 48 assessments; median time on follow-up was 184 weeks
Time to Progression (TTP)	TTP is defined as the number of days from the date of first dose of venetoclax to the date of earliest disease progression (PD). TTP was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier (K-M) methodology.	From the first dose of study drug until the last participant completed the Week 48 assessments; median time on follow-up was 184 weeks
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)	PFS is defined as the number of days from the date of first dose of venetoclax to the date of earliest disease progression (PD) or death. PFS was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier methodology.	From the first dose of study drug until the last participant completed the Week 48 assessments; median time on follow-up was 184 weeks
Overall Survival (OS)	OS is defined as the number of days from the date of first dose of venetoclax to the date of death. For participants who did not die, their data was censored at the date of last study visit or the last known date to be alive, whichever was later. OS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier methodology.	From the first dose of study drug until the last participant completed the Week 48 assessments; median time on follow-up was 184 weeks

Plan for Individual participant data (IPD)

• Plan to Share Individual Participant Data (IPD)?: YES
• IPD Plan Description: AbbVie is committed to responsible data sharing regarding the clinical trials we sponsor. This includes access to anonymized, individual and trial-level data (analysis data sets), as well as other information (e.g., protocols and clinical study reports), as long as the trials are not part of an ongoing or planned regulatory submission. This includes requests for clinical trial data for unlicensed products and indications.
• IPD Sharing Time Frame: For details on when studies are available for sharing visit https://vivli.org/ourmember/abbvie/
• IPD Sharing Access Criteria: Access to this clinical trial data can be requested by any qualified researchers who engage in rigorous independent scientific research, and will be provided following review and approval of a research proposal and statistical analysis plan and execution of a data sharing statement. Data requests can be submitted at any time after approval in the US and/or EU and a primary manuscript is accepted for publication.
