- W96780237 abstract "Abstract One hundred seventy-four patients with progressive or advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) have received initial therapy with fludarabine as a single agent or fludarabine combined with prednisone. The overall response rate was 78% and the median survival was 63 months. No difference in response rate or survival was noted in the 71 patients receiving fludarabine as a single agent compared with the 103 patients who received prednisone in addition. The median time to progression of responders was 31 months and the overall median survival was 74 months. Patients over the age of 70 years had shorter survivals. Patients with advanced stage disease (Rai III and IV) had a somewhat shorter survival than earlier stage patients. More than half the patients who relapsed after fludarabine therapy responded to salvage treatment, usually with fludarabine-based regimens. Second remissions were more common in patients who had achieved a complete remission on their initial treatment. The CD4 and CD8 T-lymphocyte subpopulations decreased to levels in the range of 150 to 200/μL after the first 3 courses of treatment. Although recovery towards normal levels was slow, the incidence of infections was low in patients in remission (1 episode of infection for every 3.33 patient years at risk) and decreased with time off treatment. There was no association of infections or febrile episodes with the use of corticosteroids or the CD4 count at the end of treatment and a poor correlation with the increase in CD4 counts during remission. Infectious episodes were less common in patients who had a complete response compared with partial responders. Richter’s transformation occurred in 9 patients and Hodgkin’s disease occurred in 4 patients. Five other patients died from other second malignancies. Fludarabine appears to be an effective initial induction therapy with a reasonable safety profile for patients with CLL. © 1998 by The American Society of Hematology." @default.
