MRD refers to small number of leukemic cells that remain in the participant during treatment or after treatment at the time the participant achieved a confirmed CR. MRD analysis was performed for the participants who were suspected of achieving a primary endpoint CR. MDR was performed by flow cytometry on a bone marrow or peripheral blood sample taken at least 2 months after final treatment. MRD negative was defined as less than one CLL cell per 10000 leukocytes.
Number of Participants With Any Adverse Event (AE) or Serious Adverse Event (SAE)
An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product. An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is an event of possible drug-induced liver injury.
Number of Participants With a Human Anti-human Antibody (HAHA) Positive Result at Indicated Time Points
Serum samples for analysis of HAHA were collected at Baseline (Screening), after 3 cycles were compelted, after 1 M and 6 M post last dose. All samples were first tested in a screening step; positive samples from the screening were further evaluated in a confirmation test. The confirmed positive samples were reported as HAHA-positive.
Number of Participants With Autoimmune Hemolytic Anaemia (AIHA)
AIHA is a condition where the body's immune system fails to recognize red blood cells as "self" and begins destroying these red blood cells. The number of participants experienced AIHA are presented.
Number of Participants With Drug Related Infections Reported as AEs and SAEs of Maximum Severity of Grade 3 or Higher
An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product. An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is an event of possible drug-induced liver injury. Maximum severity grades were evaluated according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0 (1, mild; 2, moderate; 3, severe; 4, life-threatening/disabling; 5, death).
Number of Participants With at Least One Grade 3/Grade 4 Myelosuppression Adverse Events
Participants with at least one Grade 3 or Grade 4 myelosuppression (anemia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia) are presented. Myelosuppression is defined as the decrease in the ability of the bone marrow to produce blood cells. AEs were graded according to NCI common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) grade, version 3.0 (1, mild; 2, moderate; 3, severe; 4, life-threatening/disabling; 5, death).
Number of Participants Who Received no Transfusion or at Least One Transfusion During the Study
Participants who received no transfusion and at least one transfusion during the study are presented. Participants who took any blood products or blood supportive care product are included.
Mean Level of Immunoglobulin (Ig) Antibodies IgA, IgG, and IgM
Immunoglobulins, or antibodies, are large proteins used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign particles such as bacteria and viruses. Their normal blood levels indicate proper immune status. Low levels indicate immuno-suppression. Blood samples were collected from each participant and IgA, IgG, and IgM were measured at Baseline, and 1M and 6M after last dose during follow up period.
Change From Baseline in Cluster of Differentiation (CD) Cell Counts, CD5+ and CD19+
CD5+ and CD19+ cells were counted by flow cytometry at Screening (Baseline) on Cycle 1 Day 1, Cycle 1 Day 15, Cycle 2 Day 1, Cycle 2 Day 15, Cycle 3 Day 1, Cycle 4 Day 1, Cycle 5 Day 1, Cycle 6 Day 1 during the treatment period and after last dose of study drug at 1 M and then every three month follow up up to 45 M. Flow cytometry is a technique for counting and examining microscopic particles with an electronic detection apparatus. Baseline is defined as the assessment closest to but prior to first dose (e.g. day 1 if available, otherwise, screening). Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.
Change From Baseline in Cell Counts, CD5- CD19+
CD5- CD19+ cells were counted by flow cytometry at Screening (baseline) at Cycle 1 Day1, Cycle 1 Day 15, Cycle 2 Day 1, Cycle 2 Day 15, Cycle 3 Day 1, Cycle 4 Day 1, Cycle 5 Day 1, Cycle 6 Day 1 during treatment period and after last dose of study drug at 1 M and then every three month up to 45 M during follow up period. Flow cytometry is a technique for counting and examining microscopic particles with an electronic detection apparatus. Baseline is defined as the assessment closest to but prior to first dose (e.g. Day 1 if available otherwise screening). Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.
Prognostic and Biological Markers Correlating With Clinical Response
Blood samples were collected for the assessment of the following prognostic markers at BL: immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region(IgVH) homology; Zeta-Chain-Associated Protein Kinase 70(ZAP70), VH3-21 usage; Cytogenetics (by fluorescent in situ hybridization [FISH]); beta 2 microglobulin. Cox-regression model was used to explore the relationship between progression-free survival and the following explanatory variables: treatment group, cytogenetics (analyzed by FISH included 6q-,11q-, +12q, 17p-, 13q-) , ZAP-70 (positive, negative or intermediate), VH3-21 usage (Yes and No), IgVH homology (>98%, 97%-98% and <97%), beta 2 microglobulin (>3500 microgram per liter [µg/L] and <=3500 µg/L). For each covariate, a hazard ratio <1 indicates a lower risk on the first effect tested compared with the other effects tested. Cytogenetics Group (based on >=20%)=cytogenetics (CY G).
Changes in Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) Measures and Scores for European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia 16 Item Module (EORTC QLQ-CLL 16)
The EORTC QLQ-CLL16 is comprised of 16 questions that address 5 domains of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) important in CLL. There are 4 multi-item scales - fatigue (2 items), treatment side effects ([TSE], 4 items), disease symptoms (disease effects scale [DES], 4 items), and infection scale [IS] (4 items) - and single item scales (social activities [Social Problems (SP) Scale] and future health worries[Future Health (FH) Scale].). These are measured on a four point scale where 1 = not at all and 4 = very much. These scores are transformed to give a rating from 0 - 100, where 0 =no symptoms or problems and 100 = a severe symptoms or problems. EORTC QLQ-CLL16 was assessed at Screening; Cycle 4 Day 1 and during follow-up 1 M and every 3 M up to 24 months. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. The Baseline value was obtained at randomization.
Change From Baseline in Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) as Assessed by EuroQoL Five-Dimension (EQ-5D) Score at Indicated Visit
EQ-5D is comprised of a 5-item health status measure and a visual analogue scale (VAS) and is used to generate two scores: the utility score and the thermometer score. The utility score measures mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain, discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Responses to each of the 5 health states are measured on a 3-point scale (level 1 = no problem; level 2 = some or moderate problem(s) and level 3 = unable, or extreme problems). Responses are typically converted into health utilities or valuations on a scale ranging from 0 (death) to 1 (perfect health). The thermometer score ranges from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state). Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. A Negative health status describes health state worse than death.Baseline is the most recent, non-missing value prior to or on the first study drug dose date.
Change From Baseline in the European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) Score
EORTC QLQ-C30, a self-reported, cancer-specific instrument assessing 15 domains: physical, role, emotional, cognitive and social functioning, pain,fatigue, nausea and vomiting, insomnia, loss of appetite, constipation, diarrhea, and dyspnea, financial difficulties and a global health status/quality of life (QOF). Functional and symptoms scales were measured on four point Likert scale where 1 = not at all and 4 = very much. Pat. assessed at Screening; Cycle 4 Day 1 and during follow-up 1 M and every 3 M up to 24 months. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. Baseline is the most recent, non-missing value prior to or on the first study treatment dose date. Clinically meaningful changes or minimally important differences (MIDs)have been previously established for the EORTC QLQ C30, and categorized as 'small' if the mean change in scores is 5-10 points, 'moderate' if 10-20 points, and 'large' if >20points.
Mean of Health Change Questionnaire (HCQ)
The HCQ consists of a single question in which the participant is asked if he/she has experienced any change in his/her health overall since beginning the study. For HCQ, values from 1 to 9 were assigned to the 9 responses in the HCQ questionnaire, ranging from 1 for 'my health is a great deal better' to 9 for 'my health is a great deal worse' since the beginning of the study. Lower scores represent better conditions.
Mean Area Under the Time-concentration Curve (AUC) Curve Over the Dosing Interval (AUC[0-tau]) of Ofatumumab
Area under the time-concentration curve (AUC) over the dosing interval (AUC[0-tau]) was evaluated. Blood samples were collected from participants who received ofatumumab plus fludarabine and cyclophosphamide predose and 0.5 h after the end of the ofatumumab infusion at treatment Cycle 1 and Cycle 4 (Days 1, 8, and 85). In addition, predose samples were collected prior to ofatumumab administration at Cycles 2, 3, 5, and 6 (Days 29, 57, 113, and 141).
Maximum Concentration (Cmax) and Observed Drug Concentration Prior to the Next Dose (Ctrough) of Ofatumumab
Blood samples were collected to assess the plasma concentration of ofatumumab.Cmax and Ctrough were determined. Blood samples were collected from participants who received ofatumumab plus fludarabine and cyclophosphamide predose and 0.5 h after the end of the ofatumumab infusion at treatment Cycle 1 and Cycle 4 (Days 1, 8, and 85). In addition, predose samples were collected prior to ofatumumab administration at Cycles 2, 3, 5, and 6 (Days 29, 57, 113, and 141).
Time of Occurrence of Cmax (Tmax) of Ofatumumab
Blood samples were collected from participants who received ofatumumab plus fludarabine and cyclophosphamide predose and 0.5 h after the end of the ofatumumab infusion at treatment Cycle 1 and Cycle 4.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ofatumumab added to fludarabine-cyclophosphamide in patients with relapsed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL).
Detailed Description
Fludarabine is currently approved for treatment of relapsed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. Studies have shown that drugs in combination with fludarabine have shown more effectiveness than fludarabine alone. The addition of ofatumumab to fludarabine-cyclophosphamide combination offers potentially a more effective therapy, without additional toxicity. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of ofatumumab added to fludarabine and cyclophosphamide in patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia who have responded previously to therapy but later develop progressive disease and require additional therapy.

Changes in Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) Measures and Scores for European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia 16 Item Module (EORTC QLQ-CLL 16)
Description
The EORTC QLQ-CLL16 is comprised of 16 questions that address 5 domains of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) important in CLL. There are 4 multi-item scales - fatigue (2 items), treatment side effects ([TSE], 4 items), disease symptoms (disease effects scale [DES], 4 items), and infection scale [IS] (4 items) - and single item scales (social activities [Social Problems (SP) Scale] and future health worries[Future Health (FH) Scale].). These are measured on a four point scale where 1 = not at all and 4 = very much. These scores are transformed to give a rating from 0 - 100, where 0 =no symptoms or problems and 100 = a severe symptoms or problems. EORTC QLQ-CLL16 was assessed at Screening; Cycle 4 Day 1 and during follow-up 1 M and every 3 M up to 24 months. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. The Baseline value was obtained at randomization.

Title
Change From Baseline in Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) as Assessed by EuroQoL Five-Dimension (EQ-5D) Score at Indicated Visit
Description
EQ-5D is comprised of a 5-item health status measure and a visual analogue scale (VAS) and is used to generate two scores: the utility score and the thermometer score. The utility score measures mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain, discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Responses to each of the 5 health states are measured on a 3-point scale (level 1 = no problem; level 2 = some or moderate problem(s) and level 3 = unable, or extreme problems). Responses are typically converted into health utilities or valuations on a scale ranging from 0 (death) to 1 (perfect health). The thermometer score ranges from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state). Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. A Negative health status describes health state worse than death.Baseline is the most recent, non-missing value prior to or on the first study drug dose date.
Time Frame
Screening, Cycle 3 Day 1, and 1 M and every 3 month post last dose up to 24 month.
