Detailed description
This study is an open-label, single arm, phase II study of chlorambucil in subjects with previously untreated CLL. The primary objective is to evaluate the response to chlorambucil in Japanese subjects with previously untreated CLL. Secondary objectives are to evaluate efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of chlorambucil in Japanese subjects. Chlorambucil is an effective and well-tolerated chemotherapeutic agent currently approved for treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in the United States of America (US), European Union (EU) and other countries globally but not in Japan. Other more aggressive treatment options such as a combination of fludarabine (F) and cyclophosphamide are available, but are associated with significantly greater toxicities. The addition of ofatumumab to chlorambucil offers potentially a more effective therapy, with limited additional toxicity. Study OMB110911 has been conducted mainly in the US and EU to evaluate progression-free survival (PFS) and overall response (OR) in subjects with previously untreated CLL with ofatumumab in combination with chlorambucil versus (vs.) chlorambucil monotherapy. The objective of this study is to evaluate overall response of chlorambucil in Japanese subjects with previously untreated CLL.

Area Under the Serum Concentration-time (AUC) for Phenyl Acetic Acid Mustard
Blood samples for PK analysis of chlorambucil and its metabolite phenyl acetic acid mustard were collected on Day 1 and Day 4 in Cycle 1, and on Day 57 in Cycle 3. In each sampling, blood samples (2 mL/sample) were collected at pre-dose, and 15 min, 30 min, 1 hr, 1.5 hr, 2 hr, 3 hr, 4 hr, 6 hr, 8 hr, and 10 hr post dosing. AUC from time zero up to a definite time t (AUC\[0-t\]), AUC from time zero up to infinity (AUC\[0-inf\]), AUC from time zero up to 6 hours post dose (AUC\[0-6\]), AUC from time zero up to 24 hours post dose (AUC\[0-24\]) were determined. Between participants coefficient of variation (%CVb) was calculated according to the following methods: Transformed Data : 100 \* (square root of the exponential \[standard deviation of loge-transformed \]2-1).

Change From Baseline in the Immunoglobulin(Ig) Antibodies IgA, IgG, and IgM
Immunoglobulins, or antibodies, are large proteins used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign particles such as bacteria and viruses. Their normal blood levels indicate proper immune status. Low levels indicate immuno-suppression. IgA, IgG, and IgM were measured in the blood samples of the participants.Peripheral samples were collected for the analysis of IgA, IgG, and IgM at Baseline and 28 days after Day 1 of the last treatment cycle (FU 1-PDFU 1) for all participants, and 168 days after day of FU 1-PDFU 1 for participants with CR, PR, and SD. Baseline was the last pre-dose assessment performed on Cycle 1-Day 1. The the last assessment performed prior to pre-dose Cycle 1-Day 1 was used if Cycle 1-Day 1 was missing. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

Number of Participants With Improvement in Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS)
ECOG PS is a scale to assess disease progression, extent to which disease affects the daily living abilities and determines appropriate treatment and prognosis. It is scored on a scale of 0 to 5 as, 0 (fully active), 1 (restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory and able to carry out work of a light or sedentary nature), 2 (ambulatory and capable of all self cares but unable to carry out any work activities, Up and about \> 50% of waking hours), 3 (capable of only limited self cares, confined to bed or chair \> 50% of waking hours), 4 (completely disabled, cannot carry on any self cares, totally confined to bed or chair), 5 (death). Improvement is defined as decrease from baseline by at least one step on the ECOG performance status scale (yes/no). Baseline was last pre-dose assessment performed on Cycle 1 Day 1(C1 D1). When C1 D1 was missing, the last assessment performed prior to pre-dose C1 D1 was used. It was performed on Day 1 of each cycle and follow-up (FU).

Number of Participants With no B-symptoms and With at Least One B-symptom Over Time
The number of participants with no B-symptoms (no night sweat, no weight loss, no fever and no extreme fatigue) and the number of participants with at least one of the B-symptoms are summarized by assessment time. The presence of the B-symptoms was assessed at Baseline, Day 1 of each treatment cycle and follow-up (FU). Baseline was the last pre-dose assessment performed at C1 D1.
Time frame: Baseline, C2-D29, C3-D57, C4-D85, C5-D113, C6-D141, C7-D169, C8-D197, C9-D225, FU 1-PDFU 1, FU 85-PDFU 85, and FU 169-PDFU 169
Population: All Subjects Population. Only those participants available at the specified time points were analyzed (represented by n=X in the category titles). Different participants may have been analyzed at different time points, so the overall number of participants analyzed reflects everyone in the All Subjects Population.

Time of Maximum Serum Concentration (Tmax) for Chlorambucil
Blood samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis of chlorambucil were collected on Day 1 and Day 4 in Cycle 1, and on Day 57 in Cycle 3.

Time of maximum serum concentration (tmax) was determined. Between participants coefficient of variation (%CVb) was calculated according to the following methods: Transformed Data : 100 \* (square root of the exponential \[standard deviation of loge-transformed \]2-1).
