Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Age ≥ 18 years.
Participants must have CLL / SLL, as documented by a history at some point of an absolute peripheral blood B cell count > 5000, with a monoclonal B cell population co-expressing CD19, CD5, and CD23, or if CD23 negative, then documentation of the absence of t(11;14) or cyclin D1 overexpression. Alternatively patients with lymphadenopathy in the absence of circulating disease will also be eligible for this study if lymph node biopsy establishes the diagnosis of CLL with the above immunophenotype.

Study Summary

This trial is testing a combination of drugs for chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic leukemia.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with previously untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Leukemia (SLL). Participants must have measurable disease, require treatment based on specific guidelines, and have normal organ/marrow function. Those who've had other recent treatments or malignancies, active infections requiring systemic therapy, significant heart conditions, or are pregnant/lactating cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a combination of two drugs: Ofatumumab (an antibody against CLL cells) and Idelalisib (a drug blocking cancer cell growth signals), to see if they work better together for treating CLL/SLL than when used separately. The focus is on the side effects of this combo and its impact on the disease.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to immune response due to Ofatumumab, liver enzyme changes from Idelalisib use, fatigue, digestive issues like nausea or diarrhea, and increased risk of infection. Individual experiences may vary.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Idelalisib & OfatumumabExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Idelalisib will be given orally continuously at 150 mg BID. On day 57, ofatumumab will begin with the 300 mg dose, given after idelalisib is taken. Ofatumumab will then be administered at 1000 mg weekly to complete 8 weeks (days 64, 71, 78, 85, 92, 99, 106) throughout Cycles 3 and 4. This will be followed by monthly ofatumumab on weeks 20, 24, 28, 32 to complete 4 additional cycles (5-8). The overall induction treatment period will then be 8 months, comprised of two months of single agent idelalisib followed by 6 months of ofatumumab with idelalisib. After the completion of the induction treatment, idelalisib will continue indefinitely in arbitrarily defined 28 day cycles in all participants who have not had excessive toxicity and do not have progressive disease.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Has Idelalisib been sanctioned by the FDA?

"The safety of Idelalisib was classified as a 2 on the 1 to 3 scale due to its position in Phase 2 trials, which have produced evidence that it is safe but not yet proven effective."

Answered by AI

Have there been any previous investigations related to Idelalisib?

"At the present time, there are 34 studies on Idelalisib in progress. Of those trials, 8 have reached Phase 3 status. Although most of these research projects take place in Hualien, Texas; 1217 trial sites across the world are running tests with this medication."

Answered by AI

To what extent is participation seen in this research project?

"No longer accepting volunteers, this trial was initiated on June 1st 2014 and the latest update took place on September 19th 2022. For those still seeking to participate in clinical studies, there are 1522 trials recruiting participants with leukemia or lymphoid diseases as well as 34 enrolling individuals who might benefit from Idelalisib treatment."

Answered by AI

Is enrollment for this trial still available?

"As indicated on clinicaltrials.gov, this experiment is no longer recruiting patients as of September 19th 2022. Initially posted on June 1st 2014, the study has since concluded its search for participants. Fortunately, there are a total of 1556 other studies presently enrolling candidates across the globe."

Answered by AI

Is this the inaugural clinical trial of its kind?

"Currently, Idelalisib is being tested in 34 active trials across 418 cities and 52 nations. In 2010 GlaxoSmithKline sponsored the first study involving 32 patients which successfully concluded its Phase 2 process. After that initial trial, 90 additional investigations have been undertaken to confirm safety and effectiveness of this drug."

Answered by AI

In what clinical scenarios is Idelalisib the most prevalent treatment option?

"Idelalisib is usually prescribed to treat multiple sclerosis. It has also been found successful in managing refractory fludarabine, alemtuzumab resistance and post-treatment regimens."
