Overall Response Rate (ORR) by Independent Review Committee (IRC) Primary · Up to 1 year and 4 months

ORR is defined as the number of participants who achieve a best response of CR or, CRi, Nodular Partial Response, PR, and PR with Lymphocytosis as assessed by IRC per the modified IWCLL Guidelines in participants with CLL and the Revised Criteria for Response for Malignant Lymphoma in participants with SLL.

PFS is defined as the time from treatment initiation to first documentation of progression by International workshop on chronic lymphocytic leukemia (IWCLL) criteria/revised criteria for response for malignant lymphoma or death, whichever is earlier.

Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) Secondary · Up to 3.5 years

An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. All AEs were monitored per the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE version \[v\] 4.03 2010). A treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an adverse event that has an onset date or a worsening in severity from baseline (pretreatment) on or after the date of first dose of study drug up to 30 days
