Allocation: NON_RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: SEQUENTIAL
Intervention model description: Patients will start on dose level 1 of venetoclax in combination with rituximab and idelalisib, then escalate or de-escalate (if lower dose is available) based upon the estimated probabilities of toxicity from an extension of the continual reassessment method for 2 agents.
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: To determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of idelalisib and venetoclax in combination with rituximab in patients with relapsed or refractory Chronic lymphocytic leukemia/ Small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) following a lead-in period with idelalisib and rituximab

Detailed description: This phase 1, multicenter, dose-escalation study is designed to find the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of idelalisib and venetoclax in combination with rituximab in patients with relapsed or refractory CLL/SLL and to assess the clinical activity of the combination with rituximab in patients with relapsed or refractory CLL/SLL and to assess the clinical activity of the combination.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

Age ≥ 18 years of age. Relapsed or refractory B-cell CLL or biopsy-proven SLL. Treatment required in the opinion of the investigator

Must have had at least one standard treatment with a regimen containing at least one of the following agents/classes of agents; and where specified, must also meet the treatment duration, progression, and/or relapse criteria for that class of agent:

* Fludarabine
* An alkylator (eg, chlorambucil, bendamustine)
* A BTK inhibitor (eg, ibrutinib, acalabrutinib); and must have progressed or relapsed \> 6 months after last BTK inhibitor treatment
* An anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (eg, rituximab, obinutuzumab)
* A BCL-2-family protein inhibitor (eg, venetoclax, navitoclax); and

  * if best response is \< CR with BCL-2-family protein inhibitor treatment
  * must have had ≥ 1 year of BCL-2-family protein inhibitor treatment; and
  * must have progressed \> 6 months after last BCL-2-family protein inhibitor treatment
  * if best response is CR with BCL-2-family protein inhibitor treatment
  * must have relapsed ≥ 1 year after last BCL-2-family protein inhibitor treatment
* A PI3K inhibitor (eg, idelalisib, duvelisib, TGR-1202, copanlisib, buparlisib); and must have progressed or relapsed \> 6 months after last treatment with the PI3K inhibitor (NOTE THAT THIS CRITERION IS NOT APPLICABLE TO 2ND-STEP REGISTRATION)

Prior allogeneic stem cell transplant allowed provided the following criteria are met:

* ≥ 12 months have elapsed since allogeneic transplant
* No current or prior evidence of graft-versus-host disease
* No current requirement for immunosuppressive therapy Prior autologous stem cell transplant allowed provided ≥ 6 months have elapsed since autologous transplant.

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0, 1, or 2

Adequate bone marrow function as follows:

* Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,000/mm3 (without support of granulocyte colony stimulating factors)
* Platelets ≥ 50,000/mm3 (untransfused)
* Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL

Adequate coagulation, renal, and hepatic function as follows:

* aPTT and PT ≤ 1.2 × upper limit of normal (ULN) for the laboratory
* Calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min as calculated by the standard Cockcroft-Gault equation using age, actual weight, creatinine, and gender
* AST and ALT ≤ 1.5 × ULN for the laboratory
* Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN for the laboratory. For a woman of childbearing potential (WCBP), a negative serum pregnancy test performed within 7 days prior to initiation of study treatment.

Note: Postmenopausal is defined as any of the following:

* Age ≥ 60 years
* Age \< 60 years and amenorrheic for at least 1 year with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and plasma estradiol levels in the postmenopausal range
* Bilateral oophorectomy WCBP and male patients must agree to use a medically accepted form of birth control for the duration of study treatment and for at least 1 month following completion of venetoclax and/or idelalisib or 12 months following rituximab, whichever occurs later.

Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

Exclusion Criteria:

A patient who meets any of the following exclusion criteria is ineligible to participate in the study:

Known histologic transformation from CLL/SLL to an aggressive lymphoma (ie, Richter's transformation).

Known history of drug-induced pneumonitis History of inflammatory bowel disease. Central nervous system involvement Clinically significant infection including active hepatitis B or hepatitis C requiring active treatment, or active CMV infection Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seropositivity. \* Note: HIV testing is not required.

Vaccination within 4 weeks prior to initiation of rituximab \*Note: Review vaccination status. Patients should, if possible, be brought up-to-date with all immunizations in agreement with current immunization guidelines at least 4 weeks prior to initiating rituximab.•Ongoing requirement for warfarin (due to potential drug-drug interactions that may increase the exposure of warfarin and ensuing complications).

Has received any of the following within 14 days prior to initiation of study treatment:(NOTE THAT THIS CRITERION IS NOT APPLICABLE TO 2ND-STEP REGISTRATION)

* Anti-cancer therapy
* Investigational therapy Has not recovered to ≤ grade 1 toxicity(s) from prior therapy, except for chronic residual toxicities that in the opinion of the investigator are not clinically relevant given the known safety/toxicity profiles of the study regimen (eg, alopecia). (NOTE THAT THIS CRITERION IS NOT APPLICABLE TO 2ND-STEP REGISTRATION) Has not recovered to ≤ grade 1 toxicity(s) from idelalisib and rituximab, except for chronic residual toxicities that in the opinion of the investigator are not clinically relevant given the known safety/toxicity profiles of the study regimen (eg, alopecia). (NOTE THAT THIS CRITERION IS NOT APPLICABLE TO 1ST-STEP REGISTRATION)

Ongoing or planned treatment with any of the following:

* Steroid therapy for anti-neoplastic intent
* Strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor or inducer, and/or a narrow-therapeutic sensitive substrate
* P-gp inhibitor or narrow-therapeutic sensitive P-gp substrate If any of these agents have been used, patients must be off them for ≥ 1 week before initiation of study treatment.

Prior intolerance to any component of study regimen that, in the opinion of the investigator would preclude study treatment.

A cardiovascular disability status of New York Heart Association Class ≥ II Diagnosis or treatment for another malignancy within 1 year of study registration, with the exception of complete resection of basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, any in situ malignancy, or low-risk prostate cancer after curative therapy Active liver disease other than lymphoid involvement, inflammatory bowel disease, or Crohn's disease Malabsorption syndrome or other condition that precludes enteral route of administration.
