Intervention
Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Progression free survival (i.e. time from registration to disease progression, relapse or death due to CLL whichever occurs first).
Secondary outcome
1. Event free survival (i.e. time from registration to induction failure, progression, relapse or death whichever occurs first); the time to failure of patients with induction failure is set at one day;
2. Clinical, flow cytometric and molecular response rate;
3. Overall survival;
4. Disease free survival (i.e. time from CR to relapse);
5. Toxicity.
Background summary
Study phase: Phase III
Study objectives: Determination of the efficacy and safety of oral fludarabine and cyclophosphamide plus concomitant s.c. alemtuzumab compared to fludarabine and cyclophosphamide alone in terms of progression free survival, event free survival, clinical, flow cytometric and molecular response rates, overall survival and disease free survival.
Patient population: Patients with biological high-risk CLL in symptomatic stage A or B or stage C, irrespective of duration of disease, age 18-75 years inclusive.
Study design: Prospective, multicenter, randomized
Duration of treatment: Expected duration of treatment is 24 weeks.
Study objective
The hypothesis to be tested is that the outcome in arm B is better than in arm A.
Intervention
All eligible patients will be randomized on entry between:
1. Arm A: 6 cycles of oral FC;
2. Arm B: 6 cycles of oral FC combined with s.c. alemtuzumab.
