Treatment of Hairy Cell Leukaemia Variant and Relapsing Hairy Cell Leukaemia With Cladribine Plus Rituximab
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The study will test the effectiveness (rate of complete remissions, total remission rate and duration of remission) and toxicity of the combined immuno/chemotherapy with subcutaneous cladribine (LITAK®) plus anti-CD20* antibody rituximab in patients requiring treatment for relapsed hairy cell leukaemia or hairy cell leukaemia variant independent of any previous therapy.
CD20* = cluster of differentiation antigen 20

Detailed Description
The trial is a prospective, multi-centre, open Phase II study on patients with hairy cell leukaemia variant or with relapsed hairy cell leukaemia.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: HCL, 2CdA +/- Rituximab Risk stratification HCL variant will be treated with cladribine plus rituximab, independent of previous therapy Relapses of HCL will be treated with cladribine plus rituximab, duration of remission of the previous therapy is < 3 years. All repeated relapses (> 1st relapse) after previous therapies with purine analogues and/or interferon will be treated with cladribine plus rituximab. Cladribine (LITAK®) 0.14 mg/kg daily Days 8-12 subcutaneous bolus injection Rituximab (Mabthera®) 375 mg/m2 daily Days 1, 8, 15, 22 infusion Relapses of HCL will be treated with cladribine monotherapy, if the duration of remission of the previous therapy is > 3 years. Cladribine (LITAK®) 0.14 mg/kg daily Days 1-5 subcutaneous bolus injection |
Drug: 2CdA +/- Rituximab

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Rate of complete remissions (CR) [4 months after treatment]
Determination of the rate of complete remission and duration of remission after one cycle of subcutaneous cladribine (LITAK®) plus four administrations of rituximab in patients with hairy cell leukaemia variant in patients with relapsed hairy cell leukaemia
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Overall remission rate (ORR) [4 months after treatment]
The rate of CR + PR will be determined
Other Outcome Measures
- Acute and late toxicity [From day 1 of treatment period up to 120 months]
All kind of adverse events, laboratory abnormalities, infections, unplanned hospitalisations will be measured
- Degree of induced immunodeficiency [From day 1 of treatment period up to 120 months]
Degree of immunosupression with CD4/CD8 quotient as indicating biomarker will be measured. Duration of immunosupression as well as infectious and other complications which result from therapy will be reported
- Frequency of secondary neoplasia during the life-long follow-up period [From day 1 of treatment period up to 120 months]
Rate of secondary neoplasia as safety issue will be determined
- Overall survival (OS) [From achieving a remission until death]
Determination of the overall survival times of all patients
