*Non-Leukaemia Research sponsored trials

The value of autografting in younger patients with high risk CLL
Trial Code:69559570
Type:Phase III
Status:Open
Link:http://www.controlled-trials.com/mrct/trial/CHRONI...
Website:http://www.ebmt.org/5WorkingParties/CLWP/clwp6.html
This is a prospective randomised phase III trial designed to determine the outcome of autologous SCT compared to no further treatment at present in patients with high risk CLL who have reached a complete remission (CR), a very good partial remission (VGPR) or a nodular partial remission (NPR) (see appendix I for definitions) after first or second line therapy.

CLL8 - Phase III trial of combined immunochemotherapy with Fludarabine, Cyclophosphamide and Rituximab (FC-R) versus chemotherapy with Fludarabine and Cyclophosphamide (FC) alone in patients with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukaemia
Trial Code:02757147
Type:Phase III
Status:Open
Link:http://www.controlled-trials.com/mrct/trial/CLL8/2...
The objective of this study is to determine the value of immunochemotherapy with FCR in comparison with chemotherapy with FC alone in the first-line therapy of B-CLL. The study is to answer the following questions:
- Is combined immunochemotherapy with FCR superior to chemotherapy with FC alone in the first-line therapy of B-CLL?
- Is combined immunochemotherapy with FCR a safe alternative to FC chemotherapy alone with regards to the adverse effects?
