Summary

This trial is testing if ofatumumab, a drug used to treat leukemia, in combination with methylprednisolone and lenalidomide, is safe and effective in treating people with CLL.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL), who have not had other cancers in the last 5 years, except certain skin or 'in situ' cancers. Participants must meet specific disease criteria, be physically able to follow the study plan, and women of childbearing age must use two forms of birth control due to risks from one of the drugs.
What is being tested?
Researchers are testing a combination therapy for CLL/SLL that starts with Ofatumumab and high-dose Methylprednisolone, followed by additional treatment with Ofatumumab and Lenalidomide. The goal is to see if this regimen can effectively eliminate leukemia cells and maintain remission over time while also being safe for patients.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions at the infusion site, changes in blood pressure during treatment, lowered immune system leading to increased infection risk, potential impact on blood cell counts causing anemia or bleeding issues, fatigue, rash or itching skin conditions related to drug sensitivity.
