Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to establish the safety of orally administered PCI-32765 in combination with fludarabine/cyclophosphamide/rituximab (FCR) and bendamustine/rituximab (BR) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma(SLL).

Detailed description

This is a Phase 1b, open-label, parallel-group, nonrandomized, multicenter study of PCI 32765 420 mg once daily oral (PO) administration in combination with 2 different chemotherapy regimens in subjects with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL).

Outcome results

Primary

Incidence of Prolonged Hematologic Toxicity Started in Cycle 1

Time frame: From First day of dose to 30 days after last dose of any study medication. Participants were followed with a median follow-up time of 15.8 months.

Population: The FCR arm was discontinued due to very limited use of this chemo regimen in this setting, statistical analysis were limited due to the small numbers of subjects in this treatment arm.
