Scientific titleSingle-arm phase II to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Campath in combination with high-dose methylprednisolone in CLL patients with deletion of the p53 tumour suppressor gene.
Study acronymUKCLL206 (CAM-PRED)
Study objectivesA single-arm phase II study of alemtuzumab and high-dose methylprednisolone (Cam-Pred) in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) patients with P53 deletion. The objectives are to assess the safety and efficacy of the combination of alemtuzumab and high-dose methylprednisolone in CLL patients with P53 deletion. this is a phase II open label study of untreated or previously treated patients with CLL or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), whose CLL clone has a P53 gene deletion.
Ethics approval(s)MREC, 18/12/2005, ref: 05/MRE04/64
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedTopic: National Cancer Research Network; Subtopic: Haematological Oncology; Disease: Leukaemia (chronic)
Intervention1. Beta2M
2. Buccal smear for comparison with tumour-cell DNA and 'tissue banking
3. Chest x-ray
4. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) serology and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (or antigen testing according to local practice)
5. Coombs test
6. Computed tomography (CT) scan of neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis
7. EDTA: a 'first-pull' bone marrow aspirate sample should be collected in EDTA
8. Full blood count (FBC)
9. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)
10. P53 analysis, 50 ml blood for P53 analysis and 'tissue banking', plus a 5ml EDTA sample for diagnosis and morphological assesment
11. Pregnancy testing (if female and of child bearing potential)
12. Reticulocyte count
12. Serum immunoglobulins and electroporhesis
13. Bone marrow trephine biopsy
14. Urea and electrolytes (U&Es), liver function tests (LFTs), blood glucose and uric acid
Intervention typeDrug
PhasePhase II
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Alemtuzumab, methylprednisolone
Primary outcome measure(s)

Response rate (partial response [PR] and complete response [CR]) and MRD negativity rate achieved by the combinaton of alemtuzumab and high dose methylprednisolone

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

Safety of Cam-Pred in P53 deleted CLL

8. Uncontrolled hypertension
9. Active peptic ulcer disease
10. Other severe concurrent diseases or mental disorders
11. Serum urea or creatinine more than twice the upper limit of normal (unless due to ureteric obstruction or renal infiltration by CLL/SLL)
12. Serum bilirubin more than twice the upper limit of normal (unless due to haemolysis or liver infiltration with CLL/SLL)
13. Persisting severe cytopenias due to previous therapy rather than disease (neutrophils less than 0.5 x 10^9/l or platelets less than 50 x 10^9/l)
