What this study is about

This trial is testing nemtabrutinib compared to investigator's choice of ibrutinib or acalabrutinib in people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). The goal is to see if nemtabrutinib is as effective as these other medications, and whether it helps patients live longer without their cancer getting worse.
