Immuno-Augmentation With GM-CSF in Patients Receiving Pneumococcal Vaccine While Undergoing Treatment for Advanced Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Sargramostim (GM-CSF) and Pneumococcal Vaccine for Leukemia. Completed, enrolled 39 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this clinical research study is to see if Leukine(R) (sargramostim) improves the effectiveness of the pneumococcal vaccine, a medicine used to prevent pneumococcal pneumonia, in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
