Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Alemtuzumab
Patients receive Alemtuzumab escalated from initial dose of 3mg/day then 10mg/day and up to 30mg/day by intravenous infusion(if tolerated). when stable dose of 30mg/day is tolerated, Alemtuzumab is administrated at 30mg by IV infusion 3 times per week for up to 12 weeks (including escalation and stable dose period). After completion of 12 weeks treatment, or discontinuation of treatment within 12 weeks due to disease progression, patients will be visited every 3 months up to 1 year from enrollment or to death, whichever occurs first.
