Study of AMD3100 (Plerixafor) and Rituximab in Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma
Completed · Phase 1
Conditions studied: Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL)
In brief
The purpose of this research study is to determine if plerixafor can make CLL/SLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/ Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma) cells more sensitive to being killed by rituximab, an anti-cancer drug that is commonly used in treating CLL and SLL. In this study, plerixafor will be added to standard treatment with rituximab. Subjects will be monitored to see how well they tolerate the use of these drugs together and how well they work to treat the leukemia. The primary objective is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of plerixafor when combined with rituximab as treatment for previously treated patients with CLL or SLL.

You may qualify if…
- Females of child bearing potential must agree to abstain from sexual activity or to use a medically approved contraceptive measure/regimen during and for 3 months after the treatment period or be surgically sterile. Males must agree to abstain from sexual activity or agree to utilize a medically approved contraception method during treatment and for 3 months after the treatment period or be surgically sterile.
