Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
HCL, 2CdA +/- Rituximab
Risk stratification HCL variant will be treated with cladribine plus rituximab, independent of previous therapy Relapses of HCL will be treated with cladribine plus rituximab, duration of remission of the previous therapy is < 3 years. All repeated relapses (> 1st relapse) after previous therapies with purine analogues and/or interferon will be treated with cladribine plus rituximab. Cladribine (LITAK®) 0.14 mg/kg daily Days 8-12 subcutaneous bolus injection Rituximab (Mabthera®) 375 mg/m2 daily Days 1, 8, 15, 22 infusion Relapses of HCL will be treated with cladribine monotherapy, if the duration of remission of the previous therapy is > 3 years. Cladribine (LITAK®) 0.14 mg/kg daily Days 1-5 subcutaneous bolus injection
