NCT ID: NCT00046683

Last Updated: 2016-07-28

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE3
• Total Enrollment: 284 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2001-07-31
• Study Completion Date: 2006-06-30

Brief Summary

This is a Phase III, open-label, multicenter, randomized, comparative study of Campath versus chlorambucil as front line therapy in patients with progressive B-Cell Lymphocytic Leukemia (B-CLL). Eligible patients must have previously untreated, Rai stage I-IV disease, and be experiencing progression of their B-CLL requiring treatment. Patients who meet all eligibility criteria may be randomized on a 1:1 basis to receive either Campath or chlorambucil. An estimated 284 patients (142 per treatment arm) from approximately 40 or more investigational sites will be randomized to one of the two treatment arms.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

• Histopathologically confirmed diagnosis of B-CLL with CD5, CD19, or CD23 positive clone.
• Rai Stage I through IV disease with evidence of progression as evidenced by the presence of one or more of the following:1. Disease-related B symptoms (fever of greater than 38 celsius (100.5 F) for greater than or equal to 2 weeks without evidence of infection, night sweats without evidence of infection, weight loss >10% within previous 6 months. 2. Evidence of progression marrow failure as manifested by: a. decrease in hemoglobin to <11g/dL or b. decrease in platelet count to <100x10 to the ninth/L within the previous 6 months or c. decrease in absolute neutrophil count (ANC) to <1.0x10 to the ninth/L within the previous 6 months. 3. Progressive splenomegaly to >2 cm below the left costal margin or other organomegaly with progressive increase over 2 consecutive clinic visits greater than or equal to 2 weeks apart. 4. Progressive lymphadenopathy with at least 5 sites of involvement with either two nodes at least 2cm in longest diameter or one node greater than or equal to 5cm in longest diameter with progressive increase over 2 consecutive visits greater than or equal to weeks apart. 5. Progressive lymphocytes with an increase of >50% over a 2-month period, or an anticipated doubling time of less than 6 months.
