Maintenance Alemtuzumab in Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
This is a study designed to test whether giving campath (also known as alemtuzumab) on a
maintenance schedule will prolong the time until the patient requires chemotherapy.
maintenance schedule will prolong the time until the patient requires chemotherapy.
This is an open-label, single arm, proof-of-principle study of Campath (also known as
alemtuzumab) maintenance therapy administered subcutaneously at varying intervals for up to
1 year. Ongoing prophylactic anti-infectives will be provided. Patients will be assessed for
response every 2 months and for quality of life every 3 months while on treatment. Patients
achieving a presumptive complete response will receive no further treatment but will be
followed for response. Non-responding patients, with confirmed progressing disease following
a minimum of 8 doses will be discontinued from treatment and followed for survival.
Responding patients or patients with stable disease will undergo confirmatory assessment 2
months following their end-of-treatment assessment. If remission has occurred, patients will
be followed off treatment until documented disease progression.
