Arm/Group Title Bendamustine + Rituximab Main Study Venetoclax + Rituximab Main Study Bendamustine + Rituximab Crossover Substudy Venetoclax + Rituximab Re-Treatment Substudy
Hide Arm/Group Description Participants received bendamustine at a dose of 70 milligrams per meter square (mg/m^2) via intravenous (IV) infusion on Days 1 and 2 of each 28-day cycle for 6 cycles, in combination with rituximab at a dose of 375 mg/m^2 via IV infusion on Day 1 of Cycle 1 and at a dose of 500 mg/m^2 on Day 1 of Cycles 2-6. Participants were initially placed on a venetoclax ramp-up period of 5 weeks and received an initial dose of 20 mg via tablet orally once daily (QD) for initial 1 to 7 days, then venetoclax dose was incremented weekly up to a maximum dose of 400 mg, orally, QD. Participants continued receiving venetoclax at a dose of 400 mg, orally, QD from Week 6 (Day 1 of Cycle 1 of combination therapy) onwards up to progressive disease (PD) or 2 years, whichever occurred first, as directed by the investigator, in combination with rituximab at a dose of 375 mg/m^2 via IV infusion on Day 1 of Cycle 1 and at a dose of 500 mg/m^2 on Day 1 of Cycles 2-6. Participants who entered the crossover substudy had a 5-week venetoclax dose ramp-up period to reach the target dose of 400 mg QD. Following the venetoclax ramp-up period, participants received 6 cycles of rituximab, 375 mg/m^2, as IV infusion on the Day 1 of each 28-day cycle. Participants who did not progress following the completion of the 6 cycles continued to receive venetoclax monotherapy until disease progression or for a maximum of 2 years from Cycle 1 crossover Day 1 of the substudy. Participants who entered the re-treatment substudy had a 5-week venetoclax dose ramp-up period to reach the target dose of 400 mg QD. Following the venetoclax ramp-up period, participants received 6 cycles of rituximab consisting of a single infusion on the first day of each 28-day cycle. Participants who did not progress following the completion of the 6 cycles continued to receive venetoclax monotherapy until disease progression or for a maximum of 2 year from Cycle 1 re-treatment Day 1 of the substudy.

2.Primary Outcome
Title Progression-Free Survival (PFS) as Assessed by the Investigator Using Standard iwCLL Guidelines
Hide Description PFS was defined as the time from randomization until first occurrence of PD/relapse as assessed by the investigator using iwCLL guidelines, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. PD: occurrence of one of the following: new lesion; new palpable lymph node (>1.5 cm); unequivocal progression of non-target lesion; increase of >/=50% in splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, blood lymphocytes with count >/=5000/mcL, longest diameter of any lesion; transformation to more aggressive histology; decrease of >/=50% in platelet or neutrophil count, or hemoglobin level by >2 g/dL or to <10 g/dL. Participants who had not progressed, relapsed, or died at the time of analysis, were censored on the date of last assessment. In case of no disease assessment after baseline, PFS was censored at the time of randomization+1 day. The median PFS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method and the 95% confidence interval (CI) was computed using method of Brookmeyer and Crowley.

Title Event-Free Survival (EFS) as Assessed by the Investigator Using iwCLL Guidelines
Hide Description EFS was defined as the time from date of randomization until the date of PD/relapse, start of a new non-protocol-specified anti-CLL therapy, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first, as assessed by the investigator. PD: occurrence of one of the following: new lesion; new palpable lymph node (>1.5 cm); unequivocal progression of non-target lesion; increase of >/=50% in splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, blood lymphocytes with count >/=5000/mcL, longest diameter of any lesion; transformation to more aggressive histology; decrease of >/=50% in platelet or neutrophil count, or hemoglobin level by >2 g/dL or to <10 g/dL. Participants without any of the specified event at the time of analysis were censored at the date of last adequate response assessment. In case of no post-baseline response assessment, participants were censored at the randomization date. The median EFS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method and the 95% CI was computed using method of Brookmeyer and Crowley.

Title Change From Baseline in HRQoL as Measured by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) Functional Scales Score and Global Health Status/Global Quality-of-Life (QoL) Scale Score
Hide Description EORTC QLQ-C30 is a validated self-report measure consisting of 30 questions incorporated into 5 functional scales (Physical, Role, Cognitive, Emotional, and Social), 3 symptom scales (fatigue, pain, nausea, and vomiting), a global health status/global QoL scale, and single items (dyspnea, appetite loss, sleep disturbance, constipation, and diarrhea). Most questions used 4-point scale (1='Not at all' to 4='Very much'), while 2 questions used 7-point scale (1='very poor' to 7='Excellent'). Scores were averaged, transformed to 0-100 scale; where higher score for functional scales=poor level of functioning; higher score for global health status/global QoL=better HRQoL.
Time Frame Baseline, D1 of Cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, STC/EW visit (up to C6D28), EoCTR visit (8 to 12 weeks after C6D1), and FUVs (every 12 weeks after EoCTR up to 3 years); Cycle length = 28 days

Arm/Group Title Bendamustine + Rituximab Main Study Venetoclax + Rituximab Main Study
Hide Arm/Group Description:
Participants received bendamustine at a dose of 70 milligrams per meter square (mg/m^2) via intravenous (IV) infusion on Days 1 and 2 of each 28-day cycle for 6 cycles, in combination with rituximab at a dose of 375 mg/m^2 via IV infusion on Day 1 of Cycle 1 and at a dose of 500 mg/m^2 on Day 1 of Cycles 2-6.
Participants were initially placed on a venetoclax ramp-up period of 5 weeks and received an initial dose of 20 mg via tablet orally once daily (QD) for initial 1 to 7 days, then venetoclax dose was incremented weekly up to a maximum dose of 400 mg, orally, QD. Participants continued receiving venetoclax at a dose of 400 mg, orally, QD from Week 6 (Day 1 of Cycle 1 of combination therapy) onwards up to PD or 2 years, whichever occurred first, as directed by the investigator, in combination with rituximab at a dose of 375 mg/m^2 via IV infusion on Day 1 of Cycle 1 and at a dose of 500 mg/m^2 on Day 1 of Cycles 2-6.

Title Change From Baseline in HRQoL as Measured by Quality of Life Questionnaire Associated CLL Module (QLQ-CLL16) Multi-Item Scales Score
Hide Description The EORTC QLQ-CLL16 module is designed for participants with Stage 0 to Stage 4 CLL. It is composed of 16 questions and there are four multi-item scales on Fatigue (2 items), Treatment-related side effects (TRSE, 4 items), Disease-related symptoms (DRS, 4 items), and Infection (4 items); and two single-item scales on social activities and future health worries. Multi-item scales score are reported and the total score for each multi-item scale was transformed to result in a total score range of 0 to 100, where higher score = poor HRQoL.
Time Frame Baseline, D1 of Cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, STC/EW visit (up to C6D28), EoCTR visit (8 to 12 weeks after C6D1), and FUVs (every 12 weeks after EoCTR up to 3 years); Cycle length = 28 days

Title Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Hide Description An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered with Mircera and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with Mircera. A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is any significant hazard, contraindication, side effect that is fatal or life threatening; requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; is medically significant or requires intervention to prevent one or other of the outcomes listed above. AEs were assessed using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 4.0 (NCI CTCAE, v4.0)
Time Frame From signing of informed consent form up to approximately 8 years 5 months
Hide Outcome Measure Data

SE population included all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study treatment with participants grouped according to the actual treatment received.
Arm/Group Title Bendamustine + Rituximab Main Study Venetoclax + Rituximab Main Study
Hide Arm/Group Description:
Participants received bendamustine at a dose of 70 milligrams per meter square (mg/m^2) via intravenous (IV) infusion on Days 1 and 2 of each 28-day cycle for 6 cycles, in combination with rituximab at a dose of 375 mg/m^2 via IV infusion on Day 1 of Cycle 1 and at a dose of 500 mg/m^2 on Day 1 of Cycles 2-6.
Participants were initially placed on a venetoclax ramp-up period of 5 weeks and received an initial dose of 20 mg via tablet orally once daily (QD) for initial 1 to 7 days, then venetoclax dose was incremented weekly up to a maximum dose of 400 mg, orally, QD. Participants continued receiving venetoclax at a dose of 400 mg, orally, QD from Week 6 (Day 1 of Cycle 1 of combination therapy) onwards up to PD or 2 years, whichever occurred first, as directed by the investigator, in combination with rituximab at a dose of 375 mg/m^2 via IV infusion on Day 1 of Cycle 1 and at a dose of 500 mg/m^2 on Day 1 of Cycles 2-6.

Arm/Group Title Bendamustine + Rituximab Main Study Venetoclax + Rituximab Main Study Bendamustine + Rituximab Crossover Substudy Venetoclax + Rituximab Re-Treatment Substudy
Hide Arm/Group Description Participants received bendamustine at a dose of 70 mg/m^2 via IV infusion on Days 1 and 2 of each 28-day cycle for 6 cycles, in combination with rituximab at a dose of 375 mg/m^2 via IV infusion on Day 1 of Cycle 1 and at a dose of 500 mg/m^2 on Day 1 of Cycles 2-6. Participants were initially placed on a venetoclax ramp-up period of 5 weeks, and received an initial dose of 20 mg via tablet orally QD for initial 1 to 7 days, then venetoclax dose was incremented weekly up to a maximum dose of 400 mg via tablet orally QD. Participants continued receiving venetoclax at a dose of 400 mg via tablet orally QD from Week 6 (Day 1 of Cycle 1 of combination therapy) onwards up to PD or 2 years, whichever occurred first, as directed by the investigator, in combination with rituximab at a dose of 375 mg/m^2 via IV infusion on Day 1 of Cycle 1 and at a dose of 500 mg/m^2 on Day 1 of Cycles 2-6. Participants who entered the crossover substudy had a 5-week venetoclax dose ramp-up period to reach the target dose of 400 mg QD. Following the venetoclax ramp-up period, participants received 6 cycles of rituximab, 375 mg/m^2, as IV infusion on the Day 1 of each 28-day cycle. Participants who did not progress following the completion of the 6 cycles continued to receive venetoclax monotherapy until disease progression or for a maximum of 2 years from Cycle 1 crossover Day 1 of the substudy. Participants who entered the re-treatment substudy had a 5-week venetoclax dose ramp-up period to reach the target dose of 400 mg QD. Following the venetoclax ramp-up period, participants received 6 cycles of rituximab consisting of a single infusion on the first day of each 28-day cycle. Participants who did not progress following the completion of the 6 cycles continued to receive venetoclax monotherapy until disease progression or for a maximum of 2 year from Cycle 1 re-treatment Day 1 of the substudy.
