Trial Outcomes & Findings for Lenalidomide as Initial Treatment of Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Age 65 and Older (NCT NCT00535873)

NCT ID: NCT00535873

Last Updated: 2018-08-21

Results Overview

ORR defined as number of participants with best response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) out of total number of participants. CR is defined as absence of lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly or splenomegaly on physical exam. Normal Complete Blood Count (CBC) with polymorphonuclear leukocytes \>1500/µL, platelets \>100,000/µL, hemoglobin \>11.0 g/dL (untransfused); lymphocyte count \<5,000/µL; Bone marrow aspirate and biopsy must be normocellular for age with \<30% of nucleated cells being lymphocytes. Lymphoid nodules must be absent. PR requires a 50% decrease in peripheral lymphocyte count from , 50% reduction in lymphadenopathy, and/or 50% reduction in splenomegaly/hepatomegaly for a period of at least two months from completion of therapy. These patients must have one of the following: Polymorphonuclear leukocytes 1,500/µL or 50% improvement ; Platelets \>100,000/µL or 50% improvement ; Hemoglobin \>11.0 g/dL (untransfused) or 50% improvement from pre-treatment value.
