Exclusion Criteria:

1. Any significant concurrent, uncontrolled medical condition or organ system dysfunction and laboratory abnormality or psychiatric disease, which, in the investigator's opinion, could compromise the subject's safety or put the study outcomes at undue risk or prevent the subject from signing the informed consent form.
2. Known active histological transformation from CLL to an aggressive lymphoma (i.e., Richter's transformation or pro-lymphocytic leukemia);

  5. Co-morbidities:
* Uncontrolled autoimmune hemolytic anemia or thrombocytopenia
* Any uncontrolled illness that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude administration of study therapy
* History of stroke or intracranial hemorrhage within 180 days before first dose of study drug.

  2. Unstable angina or myocardial infarction with 6 months of enrollment.
  3. Serious cardiac arrhythmia or clinically significant ECG abnormality: corrected QT wave (QTcF) > 480 msec based on the Fridericia's formula or other ECG abnormalities including second-degree atrioventricular block type II, third-degree atrioventricular block. Participants who have a pacemaker will be allowed on study despite ECG abnormalities or the inability to calculate the QTc.
* Known active bacterial, viral, fungal, mycobacterial, parasitic, or other infection (excluding fungal infections of nail beds) at study enrollment, or any major episode of infection requiring treatment with IV antibiotics or hospitalization (relating to the completion of the course of antibiotics) within 4 weeks prior to Cycle 1, Day 1
* History of tuberculosis within the last five years or recent exposure to tuberculosis equal to or less than 6 months.

* History of HIV infection or active hepatitis B (chronic or acute) or hepatitis C infection 1. Patients with occult or prior HBV infection (defined as positive total hepatitis B core antibody [HBcAb] and negative HBsAg) may be included if HBV DNA is undetectable. These patients must be willing to take appropriate anti-viral prophylaxis as indicated and undergo monthly DNA testing.

  2. Patients positive for hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is negative for HCV RNA.
* Inadequate renal function: CrCl < 30 mL/min.

The same applied for moderate inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A Requires warfarin, marcumar, or phenprocoumon (due to potential drug-drug interactions that may potentially increase the exposure of warfarin or phenprocoumon)
