Antibody Therapy With Alemtuzumab and Rituximab for Initial Treatment of High Risk Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Alemtuzumab and Rituximab for Leukemia. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as alemtuzumab and rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Giving alemtuzumab together with rituximab may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving alemtuzumab together with rituximab works in treating patients with high-risk, early-stage chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
