Phase II Protocol for CLL With Fludarabine and Cyclophosphamide With Rituximab (FCR) Plus Lenalidomide

• Status: Active, not recruiting
• Trial end date: 2021-12-01

Summary

In previously-untreated subjects with CLL, fludarabine and rituximab with or without cyclophosphamide (FR or FCR) produces complete responses (CR) of 40-80%. The major complication of FCR has been grade 3/4 neutropenia which was reduced using a lower dose of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide (FCR-Lite) The objective of this study is to evaluate the minimal residual disease (MRD) complete response rate (using the 2008 IWCLL guidelines) after 4 cycles of FCR-Lite plus lenalidomide in subjects with previously untreated CLL. Lenalidomide is active in frontline treatment of CLL as well as in patients with refractory disease. MRD has been demonstrated to be a sensitive surrogate marker for progression-free survival. If patients are MRD negative complete responders (CR) they will stop at 4 cycles of FCR-Lite followed by the lenalidomide consolidation/maintenance arm of the study. If they have a MRD positive CR or partial response (PR) they will continue with 2 additional cycles of FCR-Lite plus lenalidomide followed by lenalidomide consolidation/maintenance. They will be re-tested for MRD after the 6th cycle of FCR-Lite and after 6 and 12 months of lenalidomide monotherapy If they have no response (NR) or progressive disease (PD) following 4 cycles of FCR-Lite plus lenalidomide they will be removed from the study.
