Ofatumumab is a humanized anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody that has been approved by
the FDA for the treatment of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. We
conducted a phase II single-arm study at a single center. Patients received
ofatumumab (300 mg then 1000 mg weekly for 12 weeks) and methylprednisolone (1000
mg/m(2) for 3 days of each 28-day cycle). Twenty-one patients enrolled, including
29% with unfavorable cytogenetics (del17p or del11q). Ninety percent of patients
received the full course without dose reductions or delays. The overall response
rate was 81% (17/21) with 5% complete response, 10% nodular partial response, 67%
partial response, 14% stable disease and 5% progressive disease. After a median
follow-up of 31 months, the median progression-free survival was 9.9 months and
the median time to next treatment was 12.1 months. The median overall survival
has not yet been reached. The combination of high-dose methylprednisolone and
ofatumumab is an effective and tolerable treatment regimen. This regimen may be
useful for patients who are unable to tolerate more aggressive therapies, or have
not responded to other treatments.
