Alemtuzumab-Ofatumumab in Previously Untreated Symptomatic Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Stage IV Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Clinical Trial

Official title: A Phase 2 Trial of Alemtuzumab-Ofatumumab Combination in Previously Untreated Symptomatic Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well giving alemtuzumab and ofatumumab together works in treating patients with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Monoclonal antibodies, such as alemtuzumab and ofatumumab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer killing substances to them. Giving alemtuzumab together with ofatumumab may kill more cancer cells

Clinical Trial Description

OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the efficacy and safety of alemtuzumab-ofatumumab combination treatment in previously untreated CLL.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive alemtuzumab subcutaneously (SC) three times a week in weeks 1-18 and ofatumumab intravenously (IV) over 4-6 hours on day 1 of weeks 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, and 17.
