Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drugs
  2. Uncontrolled active systemic infection
  3. Known positive serology for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
  4. Active hepatitis B infection (defined as the presence of detectable HBV DNA, HBe antigen or HBs antigen). Patients with serologic evidence of prior vaccination (HBsAg negative, anti-HBs antibody positive, anti-HBc antibody negative) are eligible. Patients who are HBsAg negative/HBsAb positive but HBcAb positive are eligible, provided HBV DNA is negative and they are willing to take appropriate anti-viral prophylaxis

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
To learn if the combination of pirtobrutinib (also called LOXO-305), venetoclax, and obinutuzumab is safe and effective when given to patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or Richter transformation (RT) who have not previously received treatment.
Detailed Description
Primary Objective: 1. Estimate the therapeutic activity (undetectable measurable residual disease [U-MRD] rate) of combined pirtobrutinib, venetoclax, and obinutuzumab in patients with previously untreated CLL/SLL (cohort 1) by undetectable measurable residual disease (U-MRD) rate and Richter transformation (cohort 2) by overall response rate (ORR) (defined as CMR//PMR). Secondary Objectives: To estimate the therapeutic activity of combination therapy by determining: Combined response rate (defined as CR/CRi/PR) as assessed by the investigator for cohort 1 (CLL/SLL) Progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). U-MRD response with next generation sequencing assay for cohort 2 To determine the safety and tolerability of this combination therapy Exploratory Objective: To study immunological and molecular changes in the peripheral blood and bone marrow in response to pirtobrutinib, venetoclax, and obinutuzumab. To evaluate the kinetics of MRD response over time
