Denileukin Diftitox in Treating Patients With Fludarabine-Refractory B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Leukemia
Registration Number
NCT00082940
Lead Sponsor
Wake Forest University Health Sciences
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Biological therapies, such as denileukin diftitox, may interfere with the growth of cancer cells and slow the growth of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well denileukin diftitox works in treating patients with fludarabine-refractory B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

* Determine the complete and partial response rate in patients with fludarabine-refractory B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia treated with denileukin diftitox.

Secondary

* Determine the toxicity profile of this drug in these patients.

* Determine the response rate in patients (regardless of CD25 receptor density) treated with this drug.

* Determine the progression-free survival and overall survival of patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive denileukin diftitox IV over 1 hour on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients achieving a complete response after 8 courses proceed to follow-up. Patients achieving a partial response or stable disease after 8 courses may continue treatment at the discretion of the investigator.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then annually until relapse.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 12-44 patients will be accrued for this study within 1 year.
