Lenalidomide as Chemoprevention in Treating Patients With High-Risk, Early-Stage B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: B-cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Stage 0 Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Stage I Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Stage II Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

In brief

This clinical trial studies lenalidomide as chemoprevention in treating patients with high-risk, early stage B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming. The use of lenalidomide may slow disease progression in patients with early stage B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia

You may not qualify if…
