This phase II trial tests how well giving zanubrutinib and sonrotoclax works for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic leukemia (SLL) that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed). Zanubrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Sonrotoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) and BCL-XL inhibitors. It may stop the growth of tumor cells and may kill them by blocking Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL, proteins needed for cell survival. Giving zanubrutinib and sonrotoclax may work well for the treatment of relapsed CLL/SLL.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Estimate overall response rate (ORR). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Estimate complete response (CR) rate. II. Estimate minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity by flow cytometry every 6 months. III. Estimate progression-free survival (PFS) at 2, 3, and 5 years. IV. Estimate duration of response (DOR) at 2, 3, and 5 years. V. Estimate overall survival (OS) at 2, 3, and 5 years. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. Identify mechanisms of resistance. II. Evaluate effect of treatment on immune cell repertoire. III. Evaluate clinical outcome stratified by first line therapy (anti-CD20 containing therapy: Yes versus \[vs.\] No) and time since stopping first line therapy (greater than 2 years: Yes vs. No). OUTLINE: CYCLE 1-4: Patients receive zanubrutinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. CYCLE 5+: Patients receive zanubrutinib PO QD and sonrotoclax PO QD on days 1-28 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 24 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo bone marrow biopsy and aspiration, computed tomography (CT) scan/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and blood sample collection throughout the study. Patients may undergo lymph node biopsy during screening and optionally at time of progression. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days. Patients who discontinue study drug due to reasons other than disease progression will be followed every 3 months until patient exhibits first progression for up to 5 years. Patients who discontinue study drug and have progressed are followed up every 6 months for up to 5 years.

Overall response rate
Overall response defined as achieving best response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) after the start of protocol therapy and prior to disease progression and/or start of other anti-lymphoma therapy. Overall response rate will be calculated as the proportion of response-evaluable participants achieving an overall response. Will be estimated as a binary proportion; the 95% Clopper-Pearson confidence interval will be calculated when needed.
Time frame: Up to 5 years
Complete response rate
Complete response defined as achieving best response of CR after the start of protocol therapy and prior to disease progression and/or start of other anti-lymphoma therapy. Complete response rate will be calculated as the proportion of response-evaluable participants achieving CR. Will be estimated as a binary proportion; the 95% Clopper-Pearson confidence interval will be calculated when needed.
Time frame: Up to 5 years
Minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity
MRD negativity is defined as less than 10\^-4. MRD will be assessed in the blood by flow cytometry.
Time frame: Up to 5 years
Progression free survival
Will be estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier along with the Greenwood estimator of standard error; 95% confidence interval will be constructed based on log-log transformation.
Time frame: From start of protocol treatment to time of disease relapse/progression or death due to any cause, up to 5 years
Duration of response
Will be estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier along with the Greenwood estimator of standard error; 95% confidence interval will be constructed based on log-log transformation.
Time frame: From first achievement of CR or PR to time of disease relapse/progression or death due to any cause, up to 5 years
Overall survival
Will be estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier along with the Greenwood estimator of standard error; 95% confidence interval will be constructed based on log-log transformation.
Time frame: From start of protocol treatment to time of death, up to 5 years
Incidence of adverse events
Assessed by Common Terminology Criteira for Adverse Events version 5.0.
Time frame: Up to 5 years
