Study of NX-5948 in Combination With Other Agents in Adults With B-cell Malignancies

April 8, 2026 updated by: Nurix Therapeutics, Inc.

An Open-label, Multicenter Phase 1b/2 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of NX-5948 in Combination With Other Agents in Adults With B-cell Malignancies

The study will evaluate NX-5948 (bexobrutideg) in combination with venetoclax with or without an anti-CD20 antibody (rituximab or obinutuzumab) in second-line or higher (2L+) relapsed/refractory (R/R) or first-line (1L) chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL).

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Bexobrutideg is an investigational drug designed to target a protein called Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK), which helps cancer cells grow in certain blood cancers like CLL and SLL. Bexobrutideg is a protein degrader, which means it finds and destroys the BTK in the cell. Venetoclax, rituximab, and obinutuzumab are approved medications that are used to treat CLL/SLL.

The study will look at:

  • How safe bexobrutideg is for patients with CLL or SLL when taken with these other treatments
  • The effects of bexobrutideg in the body when taken with these other treatments
  • How well bexobrutideg treats CLL or SLL when taken with these other treatments
