This phase 2 study describes long-term clinical and immunological effects of fixed-duration ofatumumab (anti-CD20) and alemtuzumab (anti-CD52) combination immunotherapy in 52 patients with previously untreated CLL. The median age was 65 years (range 45-79), 60% had Rai stage 3-4, 40% were IgHV unmutated and 25% had del(17p)/TP53 mutation. Alemtuzumab was given subcutaneously (30 mg tiw, 18 weeks) and ofatumumab intravenously (300-2000 mg) starting week 3 q2 weeks (8 doses).

Treatment landscape of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has changed since 2014 after the introduction of inhibitors of B-cell receptor signaling pathway (ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, idelalisib and duvelisib) and the inhibitor of the anti-apoptotic protein BCL-2 (venetoclax). In 2019, novel agents were upgraded from being a "great treatment option" to the "preferred choice" for all lines of treatment after number of randomized clinical trials proved their superiority compared to conventional chemoimmunotherapy (CIT) regimens. A growing number of next-generation molecules are in clinical trials with a promise of improved efficacy and less toxicity.

Purpose Of Review: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has multiple current frontline therapy options, including chemoimmunotherapy (CIT) and most recently, ibrutinib. Here, we review the most recent updates in the frontline treatment of CLL, including updates in CIT, updates in targeted therapies, and ongoing clinical trials.
Recent Findings: Ibrutinib was FDA-approved for the upfront treatment of CLL in 2016 after being studied in older patients and those with 17p deletions or TP53 mutations.
