NCT01678430

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare ofatumumab \& chlorambucil (O-Chl) versus ofatumumab \& bendamustine (O-B) in patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia who are considered not fit enough for rituximab, fludarabine \& cyclophosphamide (R-FC).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Progression-free survival

    Calculated from the date of randomisation to the date of progression or death, or the censor date.

    There are three pre-planned analyses of the PFS primary endpoint: end recruitment (approx 150 events); 300 events (after a minimum 12 months follow up for all patients), 400 events (after a minimum 24 months follow up for all patients)

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • Duration of response

    6 years (after 2 years follow up of the last patient recruited)

  • Overall survival

    6 years (after 2 year follow up of the last patient recruited)

  • Time to treatment failure

    6 years (after 2 year follow up of the last patient recruited)

  • Toxicity

    6 years (after 2 years follow up of the last patient recruited)

  • Treatment dose administered

    5 years (assuming last patient in receives 12 cycles of treatment)

  • +5 more secondary outcomes

  • Progressive marrow failure as manifested by the development of, or worsening of, anaemia and/or thrombocytopenia.
  • Massive (i.e. 6 cm below the left costal margin) or progressive or symptomatic splenomegaly.
  • Massive (i.e. 10 cm in longest diameter) or progressive or symptomatic lymphadenopathy.
  • Progressive lymphocytosis with an increase of more than 50% over a 2-month period or lymphocyte doubling time (LDT) of less than 6 months.
  • No prior cytotoxic or targeted therapy for CLL
  • Full-dose R-FC considered inappropriate for at least one of the following reasons
  • Age 75 or greater
  • WHO performance status 2 or 3
  • Cardiac impairment (NYHA class II)
  • Respiratory impairment (bronchiectasis or moderate COPD)
  • Renal impairment (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) 10-30 ml/min)

  • Seropositivity for HIV, HCV or HBV (surface antigen or and core antibody)
  • Severe renal impairment (eGFR less than 10ml/min)
  • Severe hepatic impairment (serum bilirubin more than twice the upper limit of normal) unless due to CLL or Gilbert's syndrome.
  • Concurrent treatment with glucocorticoids equivalent to more than prednisolone 20mg od
  • Prior treatment with monoclonal antibody therapy within the last 3 months.
  • Yellow fever vaccination within 4 weeks prior to treatment start
  • Known hypersensitivity to ofatumumab, bendamustine or chlorambucil or any of their excipients
  • CNS involvement with CLL
  • History of Richter transformation
  • Concomitant malignancies within the last 3 years except successfully treated non-melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ.
  • Major surgery within 28 days prior to randomisation
