Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/ small lymphocytic leukemia (SLL), previously untreated, Rai stage 0-ll

3. ECOG PS

4. Age >/= 18 years

5. Patients must have adequate renal and hepatic function (creatinine <2mg/dL, total bilirubin <2mg/dL). Patients with renal or liver dysfunction due to organ infiltration with CLL may be eligible after discussion with the study chairman

6. Provide informed consent

7. Female patients (including those < 1 year post-menopausal) and male patients who have not undergone previous surgical sterilization must agree to use contraception.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Presence of 2008 IWCLL/NCI-WG indication for CLL treatment: Constitutional symptoms related to CLL/SLL: Fever > 100.5 degrees F for >/= 2 weeks or night sweats for > 1 mo, both without evidence of infection; Unintentional weight loss of >/= 10% body weight in previous 6 months; Extreme fatigue (ECOG PS > 2; inability to work or perform usual activities); Lymphocyte doubling time ofabsolute lymphocyte count within 2 months; Progressive anemia (Rai stage III) or thrombocytopenia (Rai stage IV); Recurrent infections unrelated to hypogammaglobulinemia; Autoimmune phenomenon poorly responsive to corticosteroids or other standard therapy; Massive, progressive or symptomatic lymphadenopathy (> 10 cm in longest diameter) or splenomegaly (> 6 cm below left costal margin)

2. Prior or concurrent chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or immunotherapy for CLL

3. Active infection (febrile and requiring IV/PO antibiotics), including hepatitis C or HIV, or significant medical illness including renal, cardiac, pulmonary disease, or current active hepatic or biliary disease (with exception of patients with Gilbert's syndrome, asymptomatic gallstones, liver metastases or stable chronic liver disease per investigator assessment)

4. Positive serology for Hepatitis B virus (HB) defined as a positive test for HBsAg. In addition, if negative for HBsAg but HBcAb positive (regardless of HBsAb status), a HB DNA test will be performed and if positive the patient will be excluded. -- Consult with a physician experienced in care and management of subjects with hepatitis B to manage/treat subjects who are anti-HB positive.

5. Pregnant or breast feeding females are not eligible.
