Abstract

We present the long-term follow-up and results of subsequent treatments in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia treated initially with cladribine + prednisone or chlorambucil + prednisone in a randomized, cross-over study. We found higher complete and overall responses rates in patients who received cladribine + prednisone as first and second-line treatment but no significant differences in survival.
