FORTIS: Facing Obstacles to RDI (Relative Dose Intensity) Through Telephone Intervention Strategy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The investigators plan to conduct a nurse-based telephone intervention study to minimize toxicity and increase compliance to a combination of Fludarabine-Cyclophosphamide-Rituximab (FCR) given frontline to Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia patients.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Evaluation of RDI [3 years]
Reductions in Relative Dose Intensity, calculated as the difference between initially planned doses of F, C and R and effectively prescribed doses of the 3 drugs, before and after 6 courses of FCR.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Evaluation of Toxicity grade III-IV [3 years]
rate of grade III-IV toxicities (neutropenia, fever, infections, renal insufficiency), assessment of quality of life and psychological comfort during FCR therapy.
