Phase 2 Fludarabine, Cytoxan and FCCAM <Alemtuzumab> in Untreated B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Leukemia, B-cell Leukemia, Chronic Leukemia, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)

In brief

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide in previously untreated CLL patients. Participants will receive fludarabine and cyclophosphamide on days 1, 2, and 3 of six 28-day cycles.

• Active secondary malignancy or a history of malignant disease (other than CLL or non-melanoma skin cancer) within the preceding 5 years
• Any medical condition requiring systemic corticosteroids
• Active systemic infection
• Major systemic or other illness (including Coombs positivity and active hemolysis) that would, in the opinion of the investigator, interfere with the patient's ability to comply with the protocol, compromise patient safety, or interfere with the interpretation of study results
