About this study
Official title: Phase 2 Study of the Activity and Safety of Fludarabine, Cyclophosphamide, and Mitoxantrone Plus Rituximab (FCM-R) With Pegfilgrastim (Neulasta) as Frontline Therapy for Patients < 70 Years With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if using a combination of fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and mitoxantrone plus rituximab, with the growth factor pegylated filgrastim, will improve the response to treatment, and increase the time this response lasts, for patients with previously untreated CLL. The safety of this combination will also be studied.
Read the detailed description
Fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and mitoxantrone are chemotherapy drugs that are used in the treatment of CLL. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to CLL cells and causes cell death. Pegfilgrastim (Neulasta) is a growth factor that helps the bone marrow to produce white cells (neutrophils) and is an approved drug to treat the suppression of marrow function caused by chemotherapy.
If you are eligible to take part in the study, you will begin treatment. Rituximab will be given through a needle in your vein (IV) on Day 1 of Courses 1-6. The first infusion may take up to 8 hours. For every dose of rituximab after that, the infusion may take 2-4 hours. The length of the infusion time depends on whether you have any reactions to the infusion. The dose level of rituximab may be increased for Cycles 2-6 as well. The drugs acetaminophen (Tylenol) and diphenhydramine hydrochloride (Benadryl) will be given before each dose of rituximab. This will be done to decrease the risk of side effects. If side effects do occur during rituximab treatment, the drug may have to be stopped until the side effects go away and then restarted, so your time in the outpatient area may be longer if that occurs.
One day after the first dose of rituximab (Day 2), fludarabine and cyclophosphamide will be given by IV every day for 3 days (Days 2, 3, and 4), and mitoxantrone will be given by IV on Day 2. Fludarabine and cyclophosphamide will be given as 30-minute infusions, while the infusion of mitoxantrone will take 30-60 minutes. After the first treatment cycle, all the drugs will be given on Days 1, 2, and 3 for every cycle after that. Pegfilgrastim will be given as a subcutaneous injection (an injection under the skin) once per treatment cycle, right after you receive the last chemotherapy drug (in other words, on Day 4 during the first cycle, and on Day 3 for every cycle after that). Other IV fluids, such as saline, will be given on all of the treatment days to keep you hydrated, which means that each clinic visit will take about 6 hours. The combination will be repeated once every 4 to 6 weeks for a total of 6 courses.
The first treatment will be given at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (UTMDACC) outpatient clinic. The other 5 courses can be performed either at UTMDACC or at home with your regular physician.
During each treatment cycle, you will have blood samples (about 1 teaspoon each) drawn once every 1-2 weeks. Bone marrow biopsies will be performed at the end of Cycles 3 and 6 of chemotherapy.
With the exception of rituximab, the same doses of all other drugs will be used throughout the study unless side effects become severe. In that case, the dose may be lowered or the treatment may be stopped. You will be taken off study if the disease gets worse.
After Course 6 of chemotherapy is finished, you will have blood tests (about 2 teaspoons each) performed every 6-12 months.
This is an investigational study. The FDA has approved all of the drugs used in this study, and they are commercially available. However, their use in this study and in this combination is considered investigational. Up to 30 patients will take part in the study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Fludarabine, Cyclophosphamide and Mitoxantrone in people with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 May 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Dec 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Clinical Response Rate at 3 Months (time frame: End of cycle 3). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 May 2019.
