About this study

This is a phase II open label study for patients with p53-deleted CLL who require treatment. Both untreated and previously treated patients are eligible for study entry.

The trial consists of giving continuous alemtuzumab and cyclical high-dose methyl-prednisone.Alentuzumab is given intravenously during the first 4 weeks of treatment to ensure that adequate serum levels are achieved quickly. The drug will be administered daily during the first week, commencing at a dose of 3mg, and increasing to 10mg and then up to the target dose of 30mg as tolerated.Thereafter alemtuzumab will be given at a dose 30mg thrice weekly. From week 5, alemtuzumab will be given at the same dose but by the subcutaneous route of administration.

Methlyprednisolone will be given for 5 consecutive days at a daily dose of 1.0g/m2, starting on Day 1 and repeating the cycle every 28 days.

Treatment will be given for 16 weeks (i.e 4 cycles of methylprednisolone). Treatment will be discontinued if there is no response after 8 weeks, or if toxicity becomes unacceptable.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Alemtuzumab and Methyprednisolone in people with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia, run by Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust.

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 1 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 16 Dec 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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.

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 16 Dec 2009.
