Purpose
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of theophylline in treating patients who have in situ, stage I, or stage II chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

| Study Type: | Interventional |
| Study Design: | Treatment |
| Official Title: | Phase II Study of Theophylline in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia |
| Study Start Date: | May 1999 |
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the response rate in asymptomatic patients with stage 0, I, or II B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia treated with theophylline. II. Determine the toxicity of this treatment in these patients.
OUTLINE: Patients receive oral theophylline daily. Daily treatment continues for a maximum of 6 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed every 4 months for 1 year.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 35 patients will be accrued for this study over approximately 10 months.
Eligibility| Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older |
