Ofatumumab plus fludarabine and cyclophosphamide in relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia: results from the COMPLEMENT 2 trial.

Unlabelled: In this multicenter, open-label, phase III study, patients with relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) were randomized (1:1) to receive ofatumumab plus fludarabine and cyclophosphamide (OFA + FC) or FC alone; the primary endpoint being progression-free survival (PFS) assessed by an independent review committee (IRC). Between March 2009 and January 2012, 365 patients were randomized (OFA + FC: n = 183; FC: n = 182). Median IRC-assessed PFS was 28.

Chlorambucil plus ofatumumab versus chlorambucil alone in previously untreated patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (COMPLEMENT 1): a randomised, multicentre, open-label phase 3 trial.

Background: Treatment for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia who are elderly or who have comorbidities is challenging because fludarabine-based chemoimmunotherapies are mostly not suitable. Chlorambucil remains the standard of care in many countries. We aimed to investigate whether the addition of ofatumumab to chlorambucil could lead to better clinical outcomes than does treatment with chlorambucil alone, while also being tolerable for patients who have few treatment options.
