A Study to Assess the Effect of Maintenance Treatment With Rituximab Versus No Treatment in Participants With Progressive B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
RandomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelTreatment
Summary
This study will assess the effect of maintenance treatment with rituximab in comparison with observation period (no treatment), in participants with progressive B-cell CLL who have had previous first-line induction treatment with rituximab, cladribine and cyclophosphamide (RCC regimen). After 6 months of RCC induction therapy, participants will be randomized either to receive maintenance treatment with rituximab or to receive no treatment (observation only) for 96 weeks. Participants completing maintenance/observation period will be followed-up for approximately 3 years.
