CLL-Irl Study. CTRIAL-IE (ICORG) 07-01, V7

Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Giving fludarabine together with cyclophosphamide and rituximab may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying giving fludarabine together with cyclophosphamide and rituximab to see how well it works in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
