Immunochemotherapy

  • The mainstay of therapy for symptomatic chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients is combination immunochemotherapy.[1]
  • Asymptomatic chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients are managed with observation, whereas symptomatic chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients are treated with immunochemotherapy.
  • Indications to initiate immunochemotherapy among patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia include:[2]
  • Symptomatic chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients presenting with:
  • Fever of unknown origin (>38.1°C for a period greater than two weeks)
  • Night sweats for more than one month
  • Unintentional significant weight loss over a period of six months
  • An increase of greater than 50% over a 2-month period
  • A lymphocyte doubling period shorter than six months
  • Purine analogues used for the management of chronic lymphocytic leukemia patines may include:
  • Alkylating agents used for the management of chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients may include:
  • Monoclonal antibodies used for the management of chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients may include:
  • Immunomodulatory agents used for the management of chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients may include:
  • Corticosteroids used for the management of chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients may include:
  • Tyrosine kinase and B-Cell receptor pathway inhibitors used for the management of chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients may include:
  • Idelalisib (targets phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta)
  • Ibrutinib (targets bruton tyrosine kinase)
  • The optimal immunochemotherapeutic regimens used for the management of chronic lymphocytic leukemia depends on a number of factors which include:[2]
  • The algorithm below summarizes the management approach for chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients:[1][2][3]
