Ofatumumab for Patients With Previously Untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma

August 10, 2016 updated by: SCRI Development Innovations, LLC

Phase II Trial of Ofatumumab for Older Patients and Patients Who Refuse Fludarabine-Based Regimens With Previously Untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma

The risk of immunosuppression deters many patients from receiving fludarabine, while combination chemotherapy regimens are poorly tolerated by elderly or infirm chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients. Previous studies by our group and others have shown that rituximab is safe and well tolerated when used as a single agent in patients with CLL. In addition, maintenance therapy with rituximab was well tolerated by CLL patients, with probable prolongation of progression-free survival (Hainsworth et al. 2003). Based on pre clinical and clinical studies indicating possible increased efficacy of ofatumumab in patients with CLL, we wish to develop an antibody-only regimen for older patients and patients who refuse fludarabine-based regimens.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

EXPERIMENTAL: Ofatumumab 1000mg
Ofatumumab 300mg IV Day 1 followed by ofatumumab 1000mg weekly for a total of 8 weeks
