Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine the rate of minimum residual disease (MRD) negative response (i.e. the rate of no evidence of disease) of the study drugs, zanubrutinib, obinutuzumab, and venetoclax, given in combination as a treatment for CLL and/or SLL.

BOVEN regimenExperimentalPatients will be given zanubrutinib (160mg by mouth BID) and obinutuzumab (1000mg IVPB on Days 1*, 8 and 15 of Cycle 1 and on Day 1 of Cycles 2 through 8) starting on Cycle 1 (28-day cycles). * On Cycle 1, obinituzumab will be administered in "split dose" at 100mg IVPB on Day 1 and 900mg IVPB on Day 2 in patients at increased risk for IRR (ALC >25,000 cells/ul or baseline lymph nodes >5 cm diameter). Venetoclax will be added to the regimen starting on Cycle 3, and will be incorporated into the regimen using the 5-week ramp-up schedule to mitigate the risk of tumor lysis syndrome (beginning at 20mg and gradually increasing to 400mg), and venetoclax will be administered a ta fixed dose level of 400mg by mouth daily of 28-day cycles thereafter.

             form(s) of contraception (i.e., one that results in a low failure rate [<1% per year]
             when used consistently and correctly) or remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual
             intercourse) during the treatment period and to continue its use for 90 days after the
             last dose of zanubrutinib AND 30 days after the last dose of venetoclax AND for 18
             months after the last dose of obinutuzumab (whichever date is later)

        A woman is considered to be of childbearing potential if she is postmenarcheal, has not
        reached a postmenopausal state (>/= 12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified
        cause other than menopause), and it not permanently infertile due to surgery (i.e., removal
        of ovaries, fallopian tubes, and/or uterus) or another cause as determined by the
        investigator (e.g., Mullerian agenesis). The definition of childbearing potential may be
        adapted for alignment with local guidelines or regulations.

        Examples of contraceptive methods with a failure rate of <1% per year include bilateral
        tubal ligation, male sterilization, hormonal contraceptives that inhibit ovulation,
        hormone-releasing intrauterine devices, and copper intrauterine devices. Hormonal
        contraceptive methods must be supplemented by a barrier method.

        a. The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of
        the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic
        abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and
        withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.

          -  For men with a female partner of childbearing potential or a pregnant female partnet:
             agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use a condom
             during the treatment period and to continue its use for 90 days after the last dose of
             zanubrutinib, or venetoclax AND for 18 months after the last dose of obinutuzumab
             (whichever date is later)

        The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation duration of the
        clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence
        (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not
        acceptable methods of contraception

          -  Willingness to not donate sperm or oocytes during the entire study treatment period
             and after treatment discontinuation for 90 days after the last dose of zanubrutinib
             AND 30 days after the last dose of venetoclax AND for 18 months after the last dose of
             obinutuzumab (whichever date is later)
