A Phase 2 study testing lenalidomide in people with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Leukemia, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
The purpose of this study is to: Determine the likelihood that lenalidomide will adequately control the disease for at least one year. Lenalidomide is a drug that alters the immune system and it may also interfere with the development of tiny blood vessels that help support tumor growth. Read more about this study

Key requirements

- Ages 65 years and older
- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers
- Older adult
Who may be able to join
- Patients with either previously untreated or treated disease must have either intermediate or high-risk chronic lymphocytic leukemia as defined by the three-stage Rai system. Patients with Rai intermediate risk disease should meet the criteria for active disease as outlined by the NCI Working Group guidelines (including weight loss, fatigue, fevers, evidence of progressive marrow failure, splenomegaly, progressive lymphadenopathy, or progressive lymphocytosis with a rapid doubling time)(49).
- MSKCC pathologist must confirm patient's disease.
- To be considered CLL the patient must have an absolute lymphocytosis in the blood of at least 5,000 lymphocytes per microliter, or bone marrow lymphocytosis greater than or equal to 30% of all nucleated cells
- Immunophenotypic (or immunohistochemical) analysis of the malignant lymphocytes should demonstrate that the cells are B-cells. Typically these cells should also express CD5 and CD23. It is recognized that an occasional patient with CLL may have a slightly aberrant immunophenotype. All such cases need to be reviewed with the principal investigator prior to being registered for the study. Patients with small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL type) will be eligible for this study.

About this study
Official title: A Phase II Study of Lenalidomide in Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Older Than 65 Years of Age
The purpose of this study is to:
Determine the likelihood that lenalidomide will adequately control the disease for at least one year.
Read more
Lenalidomide is a drug that alters the immune system and it may also interfere with the development of tiny blood vessels that help support tumor growth. Therefore, in theory, it may reduce or prevent the growth of cancer cells. Lenalidomide is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of specific types of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and in combination with dexamethasone for patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who have received at least 1 prior therapy. MDS and MM are cancers of the blood. It is currently being tested in a variety of cancer conditions.
In this case it is considered experimental. The lenalidomide being administered in this study is not a commercially marketed product. Although it is expected to be very similar in safety and activity to the commercially marketed drug, it is possible that some differences may exist. Because this is not a commercially marketed drug, lenalidomide can only be administered to patients enrolled in this clinical trial and may only be administered under the direction of physicians who are investigators in this clinical trial.

What participants receive

lenalidomideDrug
Also called Responding patients and those with stable disease will continue lenalidomide, at their current dose level and will continue to be evaluated at the above, time points. Following 16 weeks, evaluation will occur at a minimum of every 4 weeks until, removal from the study. Patients who have stable disease or are responding following the first
Lenalidomide will be administered orally at a starting dose of 2.5mg once daily, days 1-28. Patients will be evaluated prior to treatment and at 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 16 weeks and at a minimum of 4 weeks thereafter until removal from study. Patients with stable disease or better will continue at their current dose unless they experience toxicity requiring dose reduction. For those patients who have progressive disease on their current dose and have no dose-limiting toxicity, their dose will be increased from 2.5mg, to 5mg, to 10mg, to 15mg, to 20mg one dose level at a time not more frequently than once every 4 weeks. The maximum dose will be 20mg.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| pts getting lenalidomide | Experimental | Patients with intermediate or high-risk chronic lymphocytic leukemia (≥ 65 years old) will receive lenalidomide until disease progression at the 20mg dose level (recognizing that progression at this dose requires non-protocol alternate therapy) or unacceptable toxicity.

What is being measured

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing lenalidomide in people with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Leukemia, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 May 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Best Response (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 May 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
