A Prospective, Randomized, Open Label, Phase III Trial of Fludarabine, Cyclophosphamide, and Rituximab vs. Pentostatin, Cyclophosphamide, and Rituximab in Previously Untreated or Treated B-cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
The purpose of this research study is to find out what effects (good and bad) the combination of Nipent+Cytoxan+Rituxan has on CLL cancer compared to Fludara+Cytoxan+Rituxan. While all of these drugs are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of other cancers, these combinations are experimental for the treatment of CLL.
