Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma
Registration Number
NCT00193466
Lead Sponsor
SCRI Development Innovations, LLC
Brief Summary

In this multicenter trial, we will investigate the use of fludarabine plus rituximab, followed by Campath-1H, in previously untreated patients with CLL/SLL. Patients who are elderly, or who are considered unlikely to tolerate this combination therapy well, will receive single agent rituximab followed by Campath-1H.

Detailed Description

Upon determination of eligibility, all patients will receive:

Fludarabine + Rituximab + CAMPATH-1H

Patients who are judged by the investigator not to be candidates for fludarabine due to advanced age, marginal performance status or coexistent medical conditions will receive rituximab alone followed by CAMPATH-1H.
