Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Arm D (rituximab, fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, lenalidomide)Experimental Treatment5 Interventions
Patients receive the first course of induction therapy as in Arm A or B before being re-assigned to Arm D. Beginning in course 2, patients receive rituximab IV (500 mg/m^2) on day 1 and fludarabine phosphate (age < 70: 25 mg/m^2/day; age >= 70: 20 mg/m^2/day) IV piggyback over 30 minutes or PO (32 mg/m^2/day) and cyclophosphamide IV (age < 70: 250 mg/m^2/day; age >= 70: 150 mg/m^2/day) piggyback over 30 minutes on days 1-3. Participants without progression receive consolidation therapy: lenalidomide 5mg/day cycle 1, 10 mg/day cycles 2-6PO QD on days 1-21 of 28 day cycle.
Group II: Arm C (rituximab, fludarabine phosphate, cyclophosphamide)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Participants receive induction therapy (every 28 days for up to 6 cycles) of: rituximab IV over 4 hours on days 1 (50mg/m^2) and 3 (325 mg/m^2) of course 1 and on day 1 (500 mg/m^2) of all subsequent courses. Patients then receive fludarabine phosphate (age < 70: 25 mg/m^2/day; age >= 70: 20 mg/m^2/day) IV piggyback over 30 minutes or PO (32 mg/m^2/day) followed by cyclophosphamide (age < 70: 250 mg/m^2/day; age >= 70: 150 mg/m^2/day) IV piggyback over 30 minutes on days 1-3.
Group III: Arm B (rituximab, fludarabine phosphate, lenalidomide)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Participants receive induction therapy (every 28 days for up to 6 cycles) of: rituximab IV over 1-4 hours on days 1 (50 mg/m^2), 3 (325 mg/m^2), and 5 (375 mg/m^2) of course 1 and on day 1 (375 mg/m^2) of all subsequent courses. Patients also receive fludarabine phosphate 25 mg/m^2/day IV over 30 minutes or PO on days 1-5. Participants without progression receive consolidation therapy lenalidomide 5mg/day cycle 1, 10 mg/day cycles 2-6 PO QD on days 1-21 of 28 day cycle.
Group IV: Arm A (rituximab, fludarabine phosphate)Active Control3 Interventions
Participants receive induction therapy (every 28 days for up to 6 cycles) of: Patients receive rituximab IV over 1-4 hours on days 1 (50 mg/m^2), 3 (325 mg/m^2), and 5 (375 mg/m^2) of course 1 and on day 1 (375 mg/m^2) of all subsequent courses. Patients also receive fludarabine phosphate 25 mg/m^2/day IV over 30 minutes or PO on days 1-5.

"At this moment, no additional candidates are being sought for the trial. This clinical study was initially listed on January 15th 2008 and has been recently revised on September 23rd 2022. If you are seeking alternative trials, there are presently 1,516 opportunities for patients suffering from leukemia and 1,346 studies related to Laboratory Biomarker Analysis searching for participants."

Answered by AI

Has Laboratory Biomarker Analysis been employed in other research endeavors?

"Currently, 1346 Laboratory Biomarker Analysis studies are in progress. 265 of these investigations belong to Phase 3 and have been conducted across 46368 sites globally, with the majority situated near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania."

Answered by AI

What health conditions are typically addressed with Laboratory Biomarker Analysis?

"Leukemia is routinely treated with Laboratory Biomarker Analysis, and this approach has also been proven to benefit those afflicted by Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL), Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), as well as two or more prior systemic chemotherapy treatments."

Answered by AI

How many sites have been approved to conduct this research experiment?

"This clinical trial is being administered from Holy Family Medical Center in Monmouth, Indiana; Ottawa Regional Hospital and Healthcare Center located in Ottawa, Maryland; Perry Memorial Hospital based out of Princeton, Michigan; as well as 100 additional sites."

Answered by AI

Has Laboratory Biomarker Analysis achieved regulatory clearance from the FDA?

"There is some evidence of safety, yet no data to suggest efficacy; thus Laboratory Biomarker Analysis was assigned a rating of 2 on our team's scale."
