Collaborating Sponsors:
Genzyme, a Sanofi Company
University of Cologne
Conditions:
T-cell-prolymphocytic Leukemia
Eligibility:
All Genders
18+ years
Phase:
PHASE2
Brief Summary
Study hypothesis: Simultaneous FMC-Alemtuzumab administration followed by Alemtuzumab maintenance therapy in patients with T-PLL is feasible, safe and efficient.
Detailed Description
As the median survival time of patients with T-PLL is less than 12 months, the treatment of T-PLL is a special challenge. The overall response rates with conventional chemotherapy or Deoxycoformycin ...
