Interventions

  • Rituximab — DRUG
    375 mg/m2 by vein on Day 1, Day 8, Day 15 and Day 22 and then continued once every 4 weeks during cycles 3-12 (+ 7 days). Rituximab will not be given in Cycle 2.
  • Lenalidomide — DRUG
    10 mg/day by mouth daily beginning on Day 9 of cycle 1.

Study Details

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the combination of lenalidomide and rituximab can help to control CLL. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied. Lenalidomide is designed to change the body's immune system. It may also interfere with the development of tiny blood vessels that help support tumor growth. This may decrease the growth of cancer cells. Rituximab is designed to attach to cancer cells and damage them, which may cause the cells to die.

Arms

  • Experimental: Untreated 65 +
    Patients with untreated SLL/CLL with indications for treatment that are age 65 or older. Rituximab (375 mg/m2) will be given intravenously on Day 1, Day 8, Day 15 and Day 22 and then continued once every 4 weeks during cycles 3-12 (+ 7 days). Rituximab will not be given in Cycle 2. Lenalidomide will be started on Day 9 of cycle 1 at the dose of 10 mg/day and will be continued daily. Treatment duration will be 12 cycles and it will be possible to continue beyond 12 cycles if there is a significant benefit such as an ongoing Partial Response or Complete Response.
  • Experimental: Prior Treatment Any Age
    Patients of any age with previously treated CLL/SLL and recurrent disease. Rituximab (375 mg/m2) will be given intravenously on Day 1, Day 8, Day 15 and Day 22 and then continued once every 4 weeks during cycles 3-12 (+ 7 days). Rituximab will not be given in Cycle 2. Lenalidomide will be started on Day 9 of cycle 1 at the dose of 10 mg/day and will be continued daily. Treatment duration will be 12 cycles and it will be possible to continue beyond 12 cycles if there is a significant benefit such as an ongoing Partial Response or Complete Response.
