Inclusion Criteria

Subjects eligible for enrolment in the study must meet all of the following criteria:
1. A diagnosis of CLL defined by:
a. A circulating B-lymphocyte count of >=5,000/?L at study entry or at any time in the past.
b. Flow cytometry confirmation of immunophenotype with CD5, CD19, CD20, CD23, CD79b, and surface Ig prior to first dose of study treatment.

2. Active disease and indication for treatment based on the IWCLL updated NCI-WG guidelines [Hallek 2008], defined by presence of at least any one of the following conditions:

? Evidence of progressive marrow failure as manifested by development or worsening of anaemia and/or thrombocytopenia.
? Massive (i.e. at least 6 cm below the left costal margin) or progressive or symptomatic splenomegaly.
? Massive nodes (i.e. at least 10 cm in longest diameter) or progressive or symptomatic lymphadenopathy.
? Progressive lymphocytosis with an increase of more than 50% over a two-month period or a lymphocyte doubling time of less than 6 months.
In subjects with initial blood lymphocyte counts of less than 30x109/L, lymphocyte doubling time should not be used as a single parameter to define a treatment indication. In addition, factors contributing to lymphocytosis or lymphadenopathy other than CLL (e.g., infections) should be excluded.
? A minimum of any one of the following disease-related symptoms must be present:
a. Unintentional weight loss >= 10% within the previous six months;
b. Fevers > 100.5°F (38.0°C) for >= 2 Weeks without evidence of infection;
Or
c. Night sweats for more than 1 month without evidence of infection.

3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0-2.

4. Age >= 18 years.

5. Signed written informed consent from either the subject, or their legally acceptable representative if the subject is incapable of giving their own consent, prior to performing any study-specific tests or procedures.

Subjects enrolled into the previously untreated subject cohort must also meet all of the following criteria:
6. No prior treatment for CLL (prior corticosteroid immunosuppression treatment for autoimmune hemolytic anaemia and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is permitted).

7. Considered inappropriate for fludarabine-based therapy for reasons that include, but are not limited to, advanced age or presence of co-morbidities.

Subjects enrolled into the relapsed subject cohort must also meet the following criteria:
8. Relapsed CLL: defined as a subject who has received at least one prior CLL therapy and previously achieved a complete or partial remission/response lasting at least 6 months [Hallek, 2008].
Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 40
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 40

Exclusion Criteria

Subjects meeting any of the following criteria must not be enrolled in the study:

1. Refractory CLL: defined as treatment failure (failure to achieve a CR or PR) or disease progression within 6 months of the last anti-CLL therapy [Hallek, 2008].

2. Previous autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

3. Active autoimmune hemolytic anaemia (AIHA) and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) requiring corticosteroid therapy >25 mg prednisone (or equivalent) or chemotherapy.

4. Known transformation of CLL (e.g. Richter?s).

5. Known central nervous system involvement by CLL.

6. Screening laboratory values:
a. Platelets < 100 x 109/L (unless due to CLL involvement of the bone marrow).
b. Neutrophils < 1.5 x 109/L (unless due to CLL involvement of the bone marrow).
c. Serum creatinine > 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN); subjects with a serum creatinine > 1.5 ULN will be eligible if the calculated creatinine clearance [Cockcroft, 1976] is ? 30 mL/min.
d. Total bilirubin > 1.5 times ULN (unless due to liver involvement by CLL or Gilbert?s disease).
e. Transaminases > 2.5 times ULN.

7. Chronic or current active infectious disease requiring systemic antibiotics, antifungal, or antiviral treatment such as, but not limited to, chronic renal infection, chronic chest infection with bronchiectasis, tuberculosis, active Hepatitis C, and known Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) disease. All HIV-positive subjects are excluded from this study, regardless of whether they have an Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) defining disease and/or are on antiviral therapy.

8. Other past or current malignancy (with the exception of basal cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ carcinoma of the cervix or breast) unless the tumour was successfully treated with curative intent at least 2 years prior to trial entry.*

9. Clinically significant cardiac disease including unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to first study treatment, congestive heart failure, and arrhythmia requiring therapy, with the exception of extra systoles or minor conduction abnormalities.*

10. History of significant cerebrovascular disease or event with significant symptoms or sequelae.*

11. Glucocorticoid use, unless given in doses ? 25mg/Day prednisone (or equivalent) for <7 Days for exacerbations other than CLL (e.g. asthma).*

12. Positive serology for Hepatitis B (HB) defined as a positive test for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). In addition, if negative for HBsAg but Hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) positive, a Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) DNA test will be performed and if positive the subject will be excluded.

If HBV DNA is negative, subject may be included but must undergo HBV DNA monitoring at Cycles 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 depending on the number of Cycles administered and during the follow-up phase at the 3 Month and 6 Month post drug visits. Prophylactic antiviral therapy may be initiated at the discretion of the investigator. Please see Table 5 for further details.

13. Known or suspected hypersensitivity to ofatumumab or bendamustine that in the opinion of the investigator is a contraindication to their participation in the present study.

14. Treatment with any known non-marketed drug substance or experimental therapy within 5 terminal half lives or 4 Weeks prior to first study treatment dose, whichever is longer, or participation in any other interventional clinical study.
