- Progression-Free Survival [ Time Frame: Up to 17 months ]Progression-free survival was defined as the interval from randomization to the earlier of the first documentation of definitive disease progression or death from any cause. Definitive disease progression was CLL progression based on standard criteria (other than lymphocytosis alone) as defined by the 2008 update of the International Workshop on CLL guidelines, ie, appearance of any new lesion; increase by ≥ 50% in the sum of the products of the perpendicular diameters of measured lymph nodes (SPD); new or ≥ 50% enlargement of liver or spleen; transformation to a more aggressive histology (eg, Richter's or prolymphocytic transformation); reduction in the number of blood cells (cytopenia) attributable to CLL.
- Overall Response Rate [ Time Frame: Up to 17 months ]
Overall response rate was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved a best overall response of complete response or partial response.
Complete response was defined as no lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly; normal complete blood count; confirmed by bone marrow aspirate & biopsy.
Partial response was defined as >1 of the following criteria: a 50% decrease in peripheral blood lymphocytes, lymphadenopathy, liver size, spleen size; plus ≥ 1 of the following: ≥ 1500/μL absolute neutrophil count, > 100000/μL platelets, > 11.0 g/dL hemoglobin or 50% improvement for either of these parameters without transfusions or growth factors.
- Lymph Node Response Rate [ Time Frame: Up to 17 months ]Lymph node response rate was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved a ≥ 50% decrease from baseline in the SPD of index lymph nodes.
- Overall Survival [ Time Frame: Up to 17 months ]Overall survival was defined as the interval from randomization to death from any cause.
- Complete Response Rate [ Time Frame: Up to 17 months ]Complete response rate was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved a complete response.
