Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Relapse of B-cell CLL within 6 months after last chemotherapy 2. Subjects who have progressed to more aggressive B-cell cancers such as Richter's syndrome 3. CLL with either deletion of the short arm of chromosome 17 (17p-) or mutations associated with the loss of p53 4.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To assess the safety and tolerability of NOX-A12 alone (pilot group only) and in combination with BR To determine the complete remission (CR) rate;Secondary Objective: To determine the effect of NOX-A12 alone and combined with BR on the mobilization of peripheral blood CD34+ cells and CLL cells To determine the overall response rate (ORR=CR + PR) rate To determine time to event endpoints such as progression free survival (PFS), event free survival (EFS), time to progression (TTP), duration of response (DOR) and overall survival (OS) after treatment with NOX-A12 in combination with BR To determine the plasma concentration of SDF-1 after treatment with NOX-A12 alone (pilot group only) and in combination with BR To determine the pharmacokinetics of NOX-A12 alone (pilot group only) and in combination with BR;Primary end point(s): Safety the safety evaluation will be based on the following assessments: - adverse events - vital signs - 12 lead ECG - laboratory parameters (CBC, platelets, differential WBC count, serum chemistry, coagulation parameters, urinalysis) - immunogenicity - physical examinations Remission Rates Assessment of overall tumour response - as measured by lymphadenopathy, splenamegaly, hepatomegaly, bone marrow cell counts, peripheral platelet and neutophil counts and heamoglobin measurements.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Safety - throughout the treatment period and for 30 days post last dose Efficacy - at the end of Cycle 3 and Cycle 6 of treatment | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): - mobilization of CD34+ and CLL cells - immunophenotyping and cell surface antigens of CD34+ and CLL cells - disease assessment, as per the primary endpoint - survival free of disease - death - pharmacokinetic analysis of SDF-1 in plasma - pharmacokinetic analysis of NOX-A12 in plasma;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Characterisation of circulating blood cells - Pilot group only - Day 1,2 and 4 post first dose. All patients - Day 1 and 2, Cycle 1 and 4 Pharmacokinetic analysis - Pilot group only - Day 1, 2 and 4 post first dose. All patients - Day 1 Cycle 1 and 4 Progression - 12 weekly intervals for 30 months post end of treatment | — |
