Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: All Canadian patients who are eligible for the core protocol CLC3/S1925 will be mandated to participate in the companion study CLC.3E. This study is designed to include women and minorities as appropriate, but is not designed to measure differences in intervention effects.

Who may be able to join

  • Patient must be eligible for the core CLC3/S1925 protocol.
  • Patient consent must be appropriately obtained in accordance with applicable local and regulatory requirements. Each patient must sign a consent form prior to enrollment in the trial to document their willingness to participate.
  • Patient is able (i.e. sufficiently fluent) and willing to complete the quality of life and/or health utility questionnaires in either English or French. The baseline assessment must be completed within required timelines, prior to enrollment. Inability (lack of comprehension in English or French, or other equivalent reason such as cognitive issues or lack of competency) to complete the questionnaires will not make the patient ineligible for the study. However, ability but unwillingness to complete the questionnaires will make the patient ineligible.
  • Patients must be accessible for treatment and follow-up. Investigators must assure themselves the patients enrolled on this trial will be available for complete documentation of the treatment, adverse events, and follow-up.

Who cannot join

None listed.

About this study

Official title: An Economic Analysis of Early vs Delayed Therapy in Newly Diagnosed Asymptomatic High-Risk Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma: A Companion Analysis to CCTG CLC.3/SWOG 1925 Randomized Phase III Clinical Trial

Utilization data will be collected from all patients entered on the trial at Canadian centres from the time of registration until death, removal from study, or completion of 10 years of follow-up.

Protocol-specified health care utilization will be collected within trial case report forms, and will include study visits, radiographic assessments, laboratory investigations, and treatment administration.

Resource utilization data collection will be supplemented by a self-administered resource utilization form (Stanford SMRC) to document non-protocol specified utilization. This will include hospitalizations (including days in hospital), emergency room visits, and non-protocol specified ambulatory visits.

Being tested
EQ-5D-5L Instrument, Work Productivity and Daily Activity Impairment (WPAI) survey, Resource Utilization Form (SMRC)
Medical subject headings
Leukemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, B-Cell

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • EQ-5D-5L InstrumentOther

    This instrument is a measure of health status for use in evaluating health and healthcare.

  • Work Productivity and Daily Activity Impairment (WPAI) surveyOther

    The questionnaire includes three open-ended questions that determines: 1) hours absent from work due to health problems; 2) hours absent from work due to other reasons; and (3) hours actually worked over the past 30 days. Additional questions ask about the impact of health problems on work productivity and daily activities and are scored along a vertical visual analog scale. The WPAI provides estimates on absenteeism, presenteeism, global measures of lost productivity (absenteeism+presenteeism) and daily activity impairment (impaired ability to perform non-work activities including work around the house, child care, exercise, studying, and leisure activities)

  • Resource Utilization Form (SMRC)Other

    Resource utilization data collection will be supplemented by a self-administered resource utilization form (Stanford SMRC) to document non-protocol specified utilization. This will include hospitalizations (including days in hospital), emergency room visits, and non-protocol specified ambulatory visits.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To determine incremental cost-utility ratio of an early novel therapy approach compared to a deferred approach in Canadian patients with high-risk CLL (enrolled in the randomized component of the SWOG S1925/CLC3 study).

    Direct medical costs will be estimated from the perspective of the Canadian public healthcare system. The denominator of the ratio will be expressed in quality-adjusted life years gained.

    Measured: 10 years

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. To determine incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of an early novel therapy approach compared to a deferred approach in Canadian patients with high-risk CLL . Effectiveness will be expressed in life years gained

    Measured: 10 years

  2. To determine the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of an early novel therapy approach compared to a deferred approach in Canadian patients with high-risk CLL. Effectiveness will be expressed in years prior to second progression gained.

    Measured: 10 years

  3. To determine the direct medical costs associated with the care of Canadian high-risk CLL patients randomized to an early treatment approach compared to a deferred approach.

    Measured: 10 years

  4. To compare the change in health preference (utility) over time for individuals with high-risk CLL randomized to an early approach vs. deferred treatment approach

    Measured: 10 years

  5. To compare the lost productivity for Canadian individuals with high-risk CLL randomized to an early treatment approach compared to a deferred approach

    Measured: 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma, run by Canadian Cancer Trials Group at 6 sites in Canada.

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 4 inclusion and 0 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Canada. 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.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Annette Hay (613-533-6430, ahay@ctg.queensu.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To determine incremental cost-utility ratio of an early novel therapy approach compared to a deferred approach in Canadian patients with high-risk CLL (enrolled in the randomized component of the SWOG S1925/CLC3 study). (time frame: 10 years). 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 14 Oct 2026.
