This non-randomized study will test the safety and effectiveness of Genasense in patients with CLL.

This study is a two-part phase I-II study. Part 1 will determine the MTD of Genasense in patients with CLL. This dose will then be tested in a non-randomized, multi-center, Phase II sequential clinical trial of Genasense used alone for treatment of patients with advanced CLL.

Pharmacokinetics of Genasense and kinetics of Bcl-2 down regulation and re-expression in CLL cells will be followed in selected patients.

28-day cycles; Cycle 1: oblimersen by continuous IV infusion 1.5 mg/kg/d for 7 consecutive days, completing on Day 8; rituximab by IV infusion on Day 4 (125 mg/m2) and Day 6 (250 mg/m2); fludarabine 25 mg/m2 by IV infusion for 3 days, starting on Day 6. Subsequent cycles: oblimersen 3 mg/kg/d, completing on Day 8; rituximab 375 mg/m2 on Day 5; fludarabine 25 mg/m2 for 3 days starting the same day as rituximab

Oblimersen-rituximab-fludarabine

The treatment combination of Rituxan® (rituximab) and fludarabine has previously been reported to produce a high percentage of responses with less toxicity than other combination treatments. However, some leukemia subjects continue to have leukemia despite treatment with these standard anticancer drug therapies, or they may work for only a short period of time. In some subjects, when the leukemia does not respond well to therapy the leukemia cells may be over-producing one or more proteins. One of these proteins is called Bcl-2. Bcl-2 is a protein that appears to protect cancer cells from being killed and thus lengthens the life of the cancer cells. Genasense® (oblimersen sodium) is a compound that blocks production of the Bcl-2 protein. By first lowering levels of Bcl-2, it is possible that chemotherapy drugs may work more effectively as a cancer treatment. Genasense® may also directly kill CLL cells. This study will test whether treating subjects with Genasense®, fludarabine and rituximab is safe and effective.
