Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Combination Arm (FluCAM)

Biological: FluCAM [Fludara + Campath]
Phase A: Escalating Doses of alemtuzumab (Campath) Alone Day 1: alemtuzumab 3 mg intravenously (IV) over 2 hours. Day 2: alemtuzumab 10 mg IV over 2 hours if 3 mg was tolerated, else repeat 3 mg daily until tolerated. Day 3: alemtuzumab 30 mg IV over 2 hours if 10 mg was tolerated, else repeat 10 mg daily until tolerated. Participants were allowed 3-14 days to escalate to 30 mg. Once 30 mg was tolerated, the participant had to begin Phase B within 7 days. Phase B: FluCAM Cycle 1: Days 1,2,3 fludarabine phosphate administered at 30 mg/m^2 over 30 minutes IV, followed within 1 hour by alemtuzumab 30 mg IV over 2 hours. A similar schedule is set for Cycles 2 through 6; duration of alemtuzumab infusions vary from 2-6 hours. Each 28-day period is 1 cycle. Fludarabine phosphate dosage is based on participants' body surface area at the beginning of each cycle. FluCAM administered up to a maximum of 6 cycles, based upon participants' response to therapy and toxicity.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Kaplan-Meier Estimates for Progression-free Survival (PFS) Based on Independent Response Review Panel (IRRP) Assessment [Up to 6 years]

      Progression-free survival was defined as the number of days from the date of randomization to the date of first objective documentation of progressive disease (PD) as determined by the treatment-blinded IRRP, or death due to any cause. Results are expressed in months.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Participant Best Response to Treatment Assessed by the Independent Response Review Panel (IRRP) [Up to 9 months]

      Participants were evaluated by the IRRP according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) 1996 response criteria. The best response observed during the study is summarized. Response categories include Complete Response (CR) with normal physical exam, marrow cells and blood values, Partial Response (PR) with a >= 50% decrease from baseline in lymphocytes, lymphadenopathy and liver or spleen exam, Stable Disease (SD) without significant progression from baseline, or Progressive Disease (PD) with increased size/number of nodes, size of liver or spleen, increase in lymphocytes, aggressive histology.

    2. Kaplan-Meier Estimates of Overall Survival Time [Up to 6 years]

      Overall survival was defined as the time in days from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause plus 1 day for all participants. Results are stated in months.

    3. Kaplan Meier Estimates for Time to Disease Progression Assessed by the Independent Response Review Panel (IRRP) [Up to 6 years]

      Time to disease progression was defined as the number of days from the date of randomization to the date of first objective documentation of progressive disease as determined by IRRP. Results are stated in months.

    4. Kaplan-Meier Estimates for Duration of Response Assessed by the Independent Response Review Panel (IRRP) [Up to 6 years]

      Duration of response was analyzed for participants who achieved a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) and was defined as the number of days from the first date of documented response to the date of progressive disease as determined by IRRP or death due to any cause. Results are stated in months.

    5. Kaplan-Meier Estimates for Time to Alternative Therapy [Up to 6 years]

      Time to alternative therapy was defined as the number of days from the date of randomization to the date of first alternative therapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or death resulting from any cause. Participants who had not received alternative therapy as of the data cutoff date were censored at the last follow-up visit assessment date plus 1 day. Results are stated in months.

    6. Mean EQ-5D™ Index Scores to Measure Quality of Life at Baseline [Day 0 (baseline)]

      EQ-5D™ is a trademark of the EuroQol Group. EQ-5D™ is a standardized instrument for use as a measure of health outcome. The questionnaire asks about health status along 5 dimensions: mobility, self care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression, which are rated at three possible levels (no problems, some problems, extreme problems). The score ranges from best (+1) to worst (-0.59).

    7. Mean EQ-5D™ Index Scores to Measure Quality of Life at End of Treatment [up to month 6 (end of treatment)]

      EQ-5D™ is a trademark of the EuroQol Group. EQ-5D™ is a standardized instrument for use as a measure of health outcome. The questionnaire asks about health status along 5 dimensions: mobility, self care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression, which are rated at three possible levels (no problems, some problems, extreme problems). The score ranges from best (+1) to worst (-0.59).

    8. Mean EuroQol Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS) Scores to Measure Quality of Life at Baseline [Day 0 (baseline)]

      The EuroQol Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS) was also used to capture the self-rating of current health status using a visual "thermometer" with the end points of 100 (best imaginable health state) at the top and zero (worst imaginable health state) at the bottom.

    9. Mean EuroQol Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS) Scores to Measure Quality of Life at End of Treatment [up to month 6 (end of treatment)]

      The EuroQol Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS) was also used to capture the self-rating of current health status using a visual "thermometer" with the end points of 100 (best imaginable health state) at the top and zero (worst imaginable health state) at the bottom.

    10. Summary of Participants With Adverse Experiences (AEs) [Up to 6 years]

      Number of participants with adverse events (AEs). AEs were graded by the investigator using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0 and were assessed for relatedness to study treatment (4 point scale from 'not related' to 'definitely related'). Categories reported include participant counts for treatment-emergent AEs, AEs for infections, serious AEs, AEs causing discontinuation of study drug(s), and deaths. Related AEs for the combination arm can be related to either fludarabine or alemtuzumab.

    11. Mean Systemic Clearance (CL) of Fludarabine [month 4 (cycle 4): first day of dosing (pre-dose, 0.5 hr end of infusion), second day of dosing (pre-dose, 0.5 hr end of infusion), third day of dosing (pre-dose, 0.25 hr, 0.5 hr end of infusion, 1,2,3,4,6,24,48,72 hr after start of fludarabine infusion)]

      Clearance of drug from plasma is affected by the absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination of the drug. Mean systemic clearance of fludarabine is derived from plasma concentration versus time data.

    12. Total Volume of Distribution (Vss) of Fludarabine [month 4 (cycle 4): first day of dosing (pre-dose, 0.5 hr end of infusion), second day of dosing (pre-dose, 0.5 hr end of infusion), third day of dosing (pre-dose, 0.25 hr, 0.5 hr end of infusion, 1,2,3,4,6,24,48,72 hr after start of fludarabine infusion)]

      The total volume of distribution (Vss) is the apparent volume in which fludarabine is distributed immediately after it has been injected intravenously and equilibrated between plasma and the surrounding tissues. Total volume of distribution (Vss) of fludarabine is derived from plasma concentration versus time data.

    13. Area Under the Curve (AUC) of Fludarabine From (AUC 0-tau) [month 4 (cycle 4): first day of dosing (pre-dose, 0.5 hr end of infusion), second day of dosing (pre-dose, 0.5 hr end of infusion), third day of dosing (pre-dose, 0.25 hr, 0.5 hr end of infusion, 1,2,3,4,6,24,48,72 hr after start of fludarabine infusion)]

      AUC (0-tau) is the area under the plasma concentration curve for fludarabine over the dosage interval (tau).

    14. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Fludarabine [month 4 (cycle 4): first day of dosing (pre-dose, 0.5 hr end of infusion), second day of dosing (pre-dose, 0.5 hr end of infusion), third day of dosing (pre-dose, 0.25 hr, 0.5 hr end of infusion, 1,2,3,4,6,24,48,72 hr after start of fludarabine infusion)]

      Cmax is the maximum plasma concentration of fludarabine observed.

    15. Participants With Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) [up to 9 months]

      MRD negativity in this report was defined by the absence of tumor cells in bone marrow, using 4-color flow cytometry. MRD was assessed in participants with a clinical complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) without recovery of blood counts. MRD represents a very positive outcome.

    Other Outcome Measures

    1. Kaplan-Meier Estimates for Progression-free Survival (PFS) Based on Independent Response Review Panel (IRRP) for Participants With Rai Stage I-II [Up to 6 years]

      Progression-free survival was defined as the number of days from the date of randomization to the date of first objective documentation of progressive disease (PD) as determined by the treatment-blinded IRRP, or death due to any cause. Results are expressed in months and include participants with Rai stage I or II.

    2. Kaplan-Meier Estimates for Progression-free Survival (PFS) Based on Independent Response Review Panel (IRRP) for Participants With Rai Stage III-IV [Up to 6 years]
