Current Phases of Clinical Trials in CLL • Induction phase • Eradication of minimal residual disease • Salvage therapy • Allogeneic Cellular Immunotherapy ?How do we decide therapy at each phase?

Chemosensitization By Rituximab And Vice Versa Rituximab • Increases cytotoxicity of Fludarabine and Cyclophosphamide • Down regulates Bcl-2 protein Fludarabine • Prevents DNA repair of alkylating agent cross links • Down Regulates CD46, CD55, CD59 (Complement Defense Proteins)

Background OFAR in RS & rCLL Platinum compounds: • Activate excision DNA repair mechanisms • Synergistic with ara-C and fludarabine Fludarabine & ara-C: inhibit the resynthesis step of excision repair Fludarabine: ↑ ara-CTPaccumulation in leukemic cells Oxaliplatin: • Synergistic with fludarabine in vitro • Minimal renal/auditory toxicity
