Condition(s) targeted: Leukemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, B-Cell

Intervention: Lenalidomide (Drug); Fludarabine (Drug); Rituximab (Biological)

Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2

Status: Completed

Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the maximal tolerated dose level of lenalidomide combined with fludarabine/rituximab in the therapy of patients with previously untreated CD20-positive chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Following a dose escalation phase lenalidomide will be given at the pre-determined maximum tolerated dose in combination with rituximab to further determine the efficacy and tolerability of this regimen.

Risk factors and clonal evolution

Detailed description: This is a non-randomized, multicenter, open-label, single-arm Phase I/II study in patients with previously untreated CD20-positive CLL. Phase I of the study will evaluate the maximal tolerated lenalidomide dose level in combination with fludarabine/rituximab chemoimmunotherapy in 10 patients. Phase II will determine efficacy using the combination in the previously defined maximal tolerated dose. Both phases will be followed by a maintenance phase evaluating the tolerability and possibility to further improve response quality.
