Inclusion Criteria
  • Signed, written EC-approved informed consent form.
  • Diagnosis of relapsed CD23+ and CD20+ B cell CLL as defined by NCI WG guidelines.
  • Subjects who have received at least 1 but no more than 2 prior single agent or combination treatments for CLL.
  • Rai Stage III or IV (Binet Stage C), or Rai Stage I or II (Binet Stage A or B) if determined to have disease progression as evidenced by rapid doubling of peripheral lymphocyte count, progressive lymphadenopathy, progressive splenomegaly, or B symptoms (Staging Criteria - Modified Rai).
  • WHO Performance Status less than or equal to 2.
  • Age greater than or equal to 18 years.
  • Male and female subjects of reproductive potential must agree to follow accepted birth control methods during treatment and for 12 months after completion of treatment.
  • Acceptable liver function: bilirubin less than or equal to 2.0 mg/dL (26 µmol/L); AST and ALT less than or equal to 2 times upper limit of normal.
  • Acceptable hematologic status: platelet count greater than or equal to 50 x 10^9/L should be unsupported by transfusion; ANC greater than or equal to 1 x 10^9/L.
  • Acceptable renal function: creatinine clearance calculated according to the formula of Cockcroft and Gault >50 mL/min; serum creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 times upper limit of normal.

Exclusion Criteria
  • Subjects who are refractory to the following combination therapies: purine analogue + R, purine analogue + C, or purine analogue + CR. Refractory is defined as not achieving at least a PR for a minimum duration of 6 months as determined by treating physician. Purine analogues include fludarabine, pentostatin and cladribine.
  • Radiotherapy, radioimmunotherapy, biological therapy, chemotherapy, or other investigational therapy within 4 weeks prior to Study Day 1.
  • Previous exposure to lumiliximab or other anti-CD23 antibodies.
  • Prior autologous or allogeneic BMT or hematopoetic stem cell transplant.
  • Known infection with HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C. Although testing for hepatitis B or hepatitis C is not mandatory, this should be considered for all subjects considered at high risk of hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection and in endemic areas. Subjects with any serological evidence of current or past hepatitis B or hepatitis C exposure are excluded unless the serological findings are clearly due to vaccination.
  • Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus.
  • Uncontrolled hypertension.
  • Transformation to aggressive B-cell malignancy (e.g., large B cell lymphoma, Richter's Syndrome, or PLL).
  • Secondary malignancy requiring active treatment (except hormonal therapy).
  • Any medical condition that would require long-term use (>1 month) of systemic corticosteroids during study treatment. However, steroid use less than or equal to 1 month is permissible during the study.
  • Any serious nonmalignant disease or laboratory abnormality, which in the opinion of the Investigator and/or Sponsor would compromise protocol objectives.
  • Active uncontrolled bacterial, viral, or fungal infections.
  • New York Heart Association Class III or IV cardiac disease, myocardial infarction within the past 6 months prior to Study Day 1, unstable arrhythmia, or evidence of ischemia on ECG within 30 days prior to Study Day 1.
  • Seizure disorders requiring anticonvulsant therapy.
  • Severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with hypoxemia.
  • Major surgery, other than diagnostic surgery, within 4 weeks prior to Study Day 1.
  • Clinically active autoimmune disease.
  • History of fludarabine-induced autoimmune cytopenia (as judged by the Investigator) or Coombs-positive haemolytic anemia.
  • Pregnant or currently breastfeeding.
