E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To determine the objective overall response rate (CR+PR including nPR) of alvocidib administered as a 30 minute infusion followed by a 4 hour continuous infusion in previously treated CLL patients or Prolymphotic Leukemia (PLL ) arising from CLL |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To assess the objective overall safety profile of this treatment. To assess the response duration, progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) following this treatment. To assess the clinical benefit by assessing: - Reduction in incidence and severity of B-symptoms and time to relief of B-symptoms; - Reduction in the frequency and amount of blood and platelet transfusions; - Reduction in incidence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation and other opportunistic infections. To assess the pharmacokinetics of this schedule of administration |

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Patient must have documentation of histologically confirmed CLL, or PLL arising from CLL as established by the NCI Working Group Response Criteria (NCI 96 criteria) for diagnosis of CLL. 2. Patient must have symptomatic Rai Stage III or IV, or Binet Stage B or C. (Patient will also be eligible if presented with Rai stage I, II or Binet Stage A, accompanied by rapid doubling time of peripheral lymphocyte count, symptomatic splenomegaly/hepatomegaly and symptomatic or progressive lymphadenopathy or B-symptoms). 3. Patient must have progressive or symptomatic disease as defined by any of the following conditions: - Progressive lymphocytosis with a lymphocyte count increased > 50% over last 2 month period or an anticipation of the doubling time in less than 6 months;. - symptomatic splenomegaly/hepatomegaly - symptomatic or progressive lymphadenopathy - Anemia (hemoglobin < 11 g/dl) or thrombocytopenia (platelets < 100 x 10 9/L) within past 6 months. - Presence of any B-symptoms: Weight loss > or equal 10% within the previous 6 months; extreme fatigue or inability to perform work or usual activities; Fevers > 100.5 F (38 C) for > or equal 2 weeks without evidence of infection; night sweats without evidence of infection. 4.Patient must have received one or more prior therapies for CLL or PLL arising from CLL.

Examples of prior chemotherapy regimen(s) include: -chlorambucil (pulse or continuous) ± prednisone -cyclophosphamide ± prednisone -CVP (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisone) -FC (fludarabine, cyclophosphamide) ± rituximab -fludarabine ± rituximab -Fludarabine refractory CLL is defined as: Stable disease (lack of an objective PR or CR) after at least 2 cycles of fludarabine-based therapy; Progressive disease on therapy or < or equal 6 months following completion of fludarabine-based therapy. -Patient may have received any of the following prior treatment regimens, or be intolerant, or not an appropriate candidate for such treatment: (alemtuzumab single agent or in combination,rituximab or pentostatin incombinations) 5.Patients must have the adequate organ functions White Blood Cells (WBC) < or equal 150 x 10 9/L,Serum Creatinine < 2 mg/dl,AST and/or ALT < 2.5 x ULN (higher values due to hemolysis or disease infiltration of the liver are allowed) 6..Patients age must be > or equal 18 years. 7.Patients ECOG performance status must be 0-2 8.Women of child bearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test 14 days prior to administration of the study drug. Men and women who are fertile and are of child bearing potential and their partner must use effective contraception |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Patient with de novo PLL. 2. Patient with secondary malignancy that will limit survival to less than 5 years. 3. Patient received prior alvocidib treatment. 4. Patient with prior allogenic or autologous bone marrow transplant (BMT) or peripheral blood stem cell transplant (PBSCT) less than 12 months. (Patients with chronic GVHD and/or currently receiving immunosuppresants must be excluded) 5. Patient receiving an investigational agent or an approved agent for an investigational purpose within last 6 weeks prior to study registration. 6.

Patient with known history of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency of history of hemolysis indicative of G6PD deficiency. (G6PD deficiency is a contraindication for rasburicase. Patient at high risk (e.g. African or Mediterranean ancestry) with no known history of G6PD deficiency may be screened prior to rasburicase administration at the discretion of the investigator) 9. Patient with autoimmune hemolytic anemia. 10. Patient who underwent any major surgery within last 30 days prior to study registration. 11. Patient with known CNS involvement. 12.
