Brief Title: Denileukin Diftitox in Treating Patients With Fludarabine-Refractory B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Official Title: A Phase II Study of ONTAK® (Denileukin Diftitox, DABIL-2) in Patients With Fludarabine-Refractory B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Study ID: NCT00082940
Brief Summary: RATIONALE: Biological therapies, such as denileukin diftitox, may interfere with the growth of cancer cells and slow the growth of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well denileukin diftitox works in treating patients with fludarabine-refractory B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES: Primary * Determine the complete and partial response rate in patients with fludarabine-refractory B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia treated with denileukin diftitox. Secondary * Determine the toxicity profile of this drug in these patients. * Determine the response rate in patients (regardless of CD25 receptor density) treated with this drug. * Determine the progression-free survival and overall survival of patients treated with this drug. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive denileukin diftitox IV over 1 hour on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving a complete response after 8 courses proceed to follow-up. Patients achieving a partial response or stable disease after 8 courses may continue treatment at the discretion of the investigator. Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then annually until relapse. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 12-44 patients will be accrued for this study within 1 year.
