PHASE2

Low Dose Vemurafenib and Rituximab in Hairy Cell Leukemia

Sponsor: Scripps Health

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The current standard-of-care for Hairy Cell Leukemia involves chemotherapy, with agents such as cladribine or pentostatin. Chemotherapy is associated with infection, low blood counts and predisposition to future cancers. This study tests a new yet previously validated drug combination for the treatment of hairy cell leukemia. The treatment involves 8 weeks of treatment with an oral drug called vemurafenib and 8 doses of an intravenous medication called rituximab. The goal of this study is to see whether this treatment is better tolerated and more effective than the currently used treatment in this disease. In addition, this study uses a lower dose of vemurafenib than previous studies have used, with the goal of minimizing side effects from this medication.

Official title: A Single Arm Phase II Pilot Study of Low Dose Vemurafenib Plus Rituximab in the Front-line and Relapsed/Refractory Treatment of Hairy Cell Leukemia
