Rituximab and Campath are two antibodies directed against CD20 and CD52 antigen, respectively. The highest response rate in the B-CLL treatment has been obtained by the association of Fludarabine, Cyclophosphamide and Rituximab. The association of Fludarabine and Campath has also shown high response rate . This study will then compare Campath with Rituximab in association with Fludarabine-Cyclophosphamide. MedDRA version: 9.1 Level: LLT Classification code 10009310 Term: CLL
