Thalidomide With or Without Fludarabine in Treating Patients With Hematologic Cancer
Randomized Phase II Study of Thalidomide Versus Thalidomide Plus Fludarabine for Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Previously Treated With Fludarabine
Study Overview
Status
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
I. Compare the safety and tolerability of thalidomide with or without fludarabine in patients with fludarabine-refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma.
II. Compare the incidence of complete and partial remission in patients treated with these regimens.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, open-label study. Patients are stratified according to time to relapse from last fludarabine treatment (less than 6 months vs more than 6 months). Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms.
Arm I: Patients receive oral thalidomide once daily in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Arm II: Patients receive thalidomide as in arm I and fludarabine IV over 30 minutes on days 1-5. Treatment with fludarabine repeats every 28 days for 6 courses. Once fludarabine is completed, patients continue to receive thalidomide alone as in arm I.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 24-70 patients (12-35 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study within 1 year.
