Rituximab and Fludarabine Followed by CAMPATH-1H in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma

Summary

In this multicenter trial, we will investigate the use of fludarabine plus rituximab, followed by Campath-1H, in previously untreated patients with CLL/SLL. Patients who are elderly, or who are considered unlikely to tolerate this combination therapy well, will receive single agent rituximab followed by Campath-1H.
