Summary

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat people with B-cell cancers. In this trial, researchers will look at chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). These are blood cancers that affect B-cells in the blood, bone marrow, or lymph nodes.

The goals of this trial are to learn about:

* The safety of MK-1045 and if participants tolerate it. Tolerate means participants will receive trial treatment unless they need to stop treatment due to health problems.
* The number of participants who respond. Respond means the number of cancer cells goes down or signs of cancer go away.
