Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study on Rituximab (MabThera) in Participants With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) (NCT NCT01178086)

NCT ID: NCT01178086

Last Updated: 2018-10-05

Results Overview

PFS was defined as the time from initiation of treatment with rituximab in combination with chemotherapy to disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Disease progression was defined as the occurrence of at least one of the following: greater than or equal to (\>/=) 50 percent (%) increase in the longest diameter of at least two enlarged lymph nodes, increase in spleen and/or liver size by at least 2 centimeters (cm) from Baseline as determined by measurement below the costal margin, or \>/=50% increase in the number of circulating lymphocytes. Participants without disease progression or death at the time of analysis were censored at the last date of tumor evaluation in terms of PFS.

Performance status was reflected by the Karnofsky index. Karnofsky performance status index ranges from 0-100% with higher scores indicating better functional status. An index between 90% and 100% corresponds to ECOG grade 0, index between 70% and 80% corresponds to ECOG grade 1, index between 50% and 60% corresponds to ECOG grade 2, index 40% corresponds to ECOG grade 3. ECOG grade 0=Fully active, able to carry on all pre-disease activities without restriction; grade 1=Restricted in physically strenuous activity, ambulatory and able to carry out light or sedentary work; grade 2=Ambulatory (\>50% of waking hours), capable of all self-care, unable to carry out any work activities; grade 3=Capable of only limited self-care, confined to bed/chair \>50% of waking hours.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From initiation of treatment up to disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first (assessed up to 24 months)

Population: Analysis was performed on EAS.

Response to treatment was assessed as per clinical routine. BOR included complete response(CR or CR with incomplete hematopoietic regeneration),partial response(PR or nodular PR),stable disease(SD),progressive disease(PD). CR:hemoglobin\>/=11 grams/deciliter(g/dL), lymphocytes\<4000 cells/cubic millimeter(cells/mm\^3), neutrophils\>5000 cells/mm\^3,platelets\>100,000 cells/mm\^3,bone marrow biopsy with \<30% lymphocytes with no lymphocytic infiltrates, no evidence of lymphoid nodules on physical exam, performance status of 0. PR:\>50% decrease in size of enlarged lymph nodes, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, with peripheral counts meeting same criteria as CR or \>/=50% improvement from pre-treatment values.PD:occurrence of at least one of following: \>/=50% increase in longest diameter of at least 2 enlarged lymph nodes, increase in spleen and liver size by at least 2 cm from Baseline, or \>/=50% increase in number of circulating lymphocytes. Participants without CR/PR or PD were considered having SD.
