Phase II Trial of Ofatumumab for Older Patients and Patients Who Refuse Fludarabine-Based Regimens With Previously Untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Ofatumumab for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma. Completed, enrolled 77 participants across 13 sites.
Detailed Summary
The risk of immunosuppression deters many patients from receiving fludarabine, while combination chemotherapy regimens are poorly tolerated by elderly or infirm chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients. Previous studies by our group and others have shown that rituximab is safe and well tolerated when used as a single agent in patients with CLL. In addition, maintenance therapy with rituximab was well tolerated by CLL patients, with probable prolongation of progression-free survival (Hainsworth et al. 2003). Based on pre clinical and clinical studies indicating possible increased efficacy of ofatumumab in patients with CLL, we wish to develop an antibody-only regimen for older patients and patients who refuse fludarabine-based regimens.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
IV infusion once weekly for a total of 8 weeks. Patients will visit the study center once weekly to receive their IV infusion of ofatumumab. To reduce the possibility of infusion reactions, the first dose of ofatumumab will be administered at a dose of 300 mg. If the initial 300 mg dose of ofatumumab is well tolerated, without occurrence of any infusion-associated AEs of ≥ grade 3, subsequent doses of ofatumumab (i.e., Week 2 through Week 8) will be at a dose of 2000 mg.
