  Purpose

RATIONALE: Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. It is not yet known whether lenalidomide is more effective with or without rituximab in treating chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well lenalidomide works when given with or without rituximab in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma who have undergone autologous or syngeneic stem cell transplant.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Efficacy of lenalidomide with or without rituximab as consolidation therapy and lenalidomide as maintenance therapy [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Disease-free survival at 2 years after transplant [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Toxicity during consolidation and maintenance therapy as assessed by NCI CTCAE v3.0 [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Ability to complete planned therapy [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Complete hematological remission, including bone marrow IgH remission status as assessed by PCR after consolidation and maintenance therapy [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Time to disease progression [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Relapse rates [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 20
Study Start Date: February 2009
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Group I (consolidation phase)
Patients receive oral lenalidomide once daily on days 1-14. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
 Drug: lenalidomide
Given orally
Experimental: Group II (consolidation phase)
Patients receive lenalidomide as in group I. Patients also receive rituximab IV once on the day before the start of lenalidomide and then once between days 25-30, 50-55, and 75-80 for a total of 4 doses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
 Biological: rituximab
Given IV
Drug: lenalidomide
Given orally

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To evaluate the efficacy of consolidation therapy comprising lenalidomide with or without rituximab followed by maintenance therapy comprising lenalidomide in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma who have undergone autologous or syngeneic stem cell transplantation.

OUTLINE:

  • Consolidation phase: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 treatment groups.

    • Group I: Patients receive oral lenalidomide once daily on days 1-14. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
    • Group II: Patients receive lenalidomide as in group I. Patients also receive rituximab IV once on the day before the start of lenalidomide and then once between days 25-30, 50-55, and 75-80 for a total of 4 doses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
  • Maintenance phase: Beginning 2 months after completion of consolidation therapy, all patients receive oral lenalidomide once daily on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 18 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 28 days and then annually thereafter.
