Study information
Scientific title
A phase III study on the value of allogeneic stem cell transplantation in poor-risk chronic lymphocytic leukaemia
Acronym
CLLX2
Study hypothesis
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) with reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) can increase event-free survival (EFS) 2 years after randomisation from 40% to 70% (high-risk CLL) and from 10% to 40% (very high-risk CLL), respectively, in comparison with conventional treatment.

Condition
High-risk and very high-risk chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL)
Intervention
Stratum 1: Patients achieving complete remission (CR)/partial remission (PR) after three cycles of salvage and having an HLA-identical donor at 3 months landmark (LM) are randomised 1:1 to RIC allo-SCT (experimental intervention) or to three additional cycles of salvage (control intervention).
Stratum 2: All eligible patients will undergo biological randomisation at the 3-month LM: Patients with an HLA-compatible donor available 3 month after registration will proceed to RIC allo-SCT (donor arm-experimental intervention). Patient without donor will receive non-transplant consolidation treatment or observation (no donor arm - control intervention).
