Lumiliximab in Combination With FCR in Subjects With Relapsed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is an open label, Phase I/II, dose escalation research study of an investigational product called lumiliximab, given with FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved products fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab (FCR). The study duration is 17 visits over 42 months or until your disease progresses and you require additional CLL therapy. The total duration of participation in the study will be approximately 4 years, however your disease status will be followed indefinitely (forever).
