Design Prospective, open-label, multicentre phase II trial
Primary Objective(s) Safety and feasibility of autologous peripheral stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) early during the course of the disease.
Secondary Objective(s) Safety, feasibility, efficacy of Dexa-BEAM mobilization; efficacy of ex-vivo graft purging; incidence of complete clinical and molecular remissions; progression-free survival
Study Population B-CLL, Binet-Stage C and B or
Binet A at high risk for disease progression;
max. 1 prior chemotherapy, prior chemotherapy/ies < 6 months,
no Dexa-BEAM
Age  ≥ 18 to ≤ 60 years
Treatment 1. Cytoreductive treatment: (preferentially) FC (2-4 cycles)
2. Mobilization: Dexa-BEAM + G-CSF (1-2 cycles)
3. Myeloablation:
    fractionated TBI (e.g. 6x2Gy) +
    Cyclophosphamide (2 x 60 mg/kg; d -4 to -3)
4. autologous PBSCT (d 0)
Patients recruited 216 patients (169 evaluable patients)
