Title | A prospective, multi-center phase II study of subcutaneous alemtuzumab
combined with oral dexamethasone, followed by alemtuzumab maintenance
or allogeneic stem-cell transplantation, in chronic lymphocytic leukemia
which is associated with 17p deletion or is refractory to fludarabine: CLL2O protocol of the German CLL Study Group (GCLLSG) in cooperation with the French CLL Study Group (FCLLSG) and the European Research Initiative on CLL (ERIC) |

Protocol IDs | EudraCT-2007-003099-20 NCT01392079 |
Recruitment Status | closed |
Design | Prospective, open-label, european, multi-centre phase II trial |
Objectives | - Assessment of the efficacy of the study treatment in the Study Population in
terms of response rate, progression-free survival, failure-free survival and
overall survival - Acquisition of further data to expand the data base on the toxicity of the study treatment - Assessment of the efficacy of the study treatment in biological risk groups - Assessment of response in terms of minimal residual disease |
Primary Endpoint(s) | objective response rate (ORR) |
Secondary Endpoint(s) | - progression-free survival (PFS) - Failure-free survival (FFS) - Overall survival (OS) - Toxicity (further data) - Efficacy in biological risk groups - MRD response rate |
Study Population | B-CLL in need of treatment - Binet C or A/B with “active disease” according to the NCI criteria - refractory to purine analogue* (cohort 1) and/or 17p deletion (cohort 2) - max. 5 different previous treatment regimens Age ≥ 18 years * Fludarabine, Pentostatin, Cladribine, Bendamustine |
Treatment | Induction Alemtuzumab s.c. (30 mg/d 3× weekly) + Dexamethasone p.o. (40 mg/d, d1–4 + d15–18) + prophylactic Pegfilgrastim (6 mg/d, d1 + d15) q4wks; max. 3 cycles If CR or after max. 3 cycles --> Maintenance treatment (Alemtuzumab s.c., 30 mg every 14 days, max. 2 years) or allogeneic SCT (--> withdrawal from study) |
Patients recruitedl | 131 patients: 42 pts. with 17p deletion for first-line therapy, 28 pts. with 17p deletion for second- or higher-line treatment, 61 pts. fludarabine-refractory, irrespective of 17p status |
Time schedule | study start: 01/2008 recruitment period: 30.01.2008 - 30.12.2011 |
