Blood tests FBC, U&E, Creatinine Clearance, bone profile, LFTs, LDH, serum immunoglobulins and electrophoresis, DCT, reticulocyte count, serum haptoglobin. Patients undergoing treatment with fludarabine should be monitored for signs of AIHA. Fludarabine can be used in patients with positive DCT without evidence of haemolysis. However they should be monitored carefully for the development of AIHA. FC and FCR (but not single agent fludarabine) can be used in patients with AIHA unrelated to fludarabine. However they should be monitored very carefully for progression of the haemolysis. Fludarabine based regimens are contraindicated in patients with a history of fludarabineinduced haemolysis / PRCA. 2. Undertake relevant staging document B symptoms, BM aspirate, trephine and cytogenetics and CT chest / abdomen / pelvis (if appropriate) 3. FMD regimen :consider echocardiogram (follow local protocol for anthracycline toxicity) 4. Give adequate verbal and written information for patients and relatives concerning disease, treatment strategy and side effects. Obtain written consent from patient. 5. Discuss infertility / early menopause if appropriate. Where pregnancy is possible, advice contraception during therapy and long term after therapy (decision based on individual patient factors). 6. All male patients should be offered sperm banking. 7. All cellular blood components must be irradiated indefinitely. Issue patient with DoH information sheet and card regarding irradiated blood products. Drug Regimen FLUDARABINE (SINGLE AGENT) 1 ORAL REGIMEN: Days Drug Dose Route Comment 1 to 5 Fludarabine 40mg/m 2 PO Same time each day, before or with breakfast See appendix for guide on number of fludarabine tablets to take for 40mg/m 2 PO dose regimen.

Fludarabine based chemotherapy protocols Page 1 of 6
2 Cycle frequency and treatment duration: 28 day cycle. Treatment based on a minimum of 3 cycles and a usual maximum of 6 cycles, to achieve optimum response. FLUDARABINE AND CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE +/- RITUXIMAB (FC+/-R) 1, 2 ORAL FC If Rituximab is required: 1 Rituximab 375 mg /m 2 IV infusion See Rituximab protocol for details regarding pre-medication, infusion speed, and observation during infusion and management of infusion related reactions. FOLLOWED BY: 1 to 5 Cyclophosphamide 150mg /m 2 PO At breakfast 1 to 5 Fludarabine 24mg /m 2 PO At lunchtime IF THE ORAL ROUTE IS NOT TOLERATED DUE TO G.I TOXICITY USE IV FC: INTRAVENOUS FC: If Rituximab is required: 1 Rituximab 375 mg/m 2 IV infusion See Rituximab protocol for details regarding pre-medication, infusion speed, and observation during infusion and management of infusion related reactions. FOLLOWED BY: 1 to 3 Cyclophosphamide 250mg /m 2 IV Bolus Cyclophosphamide should be administered immediately before fludarabine for optimum effect. 1 to 3 Fludarabine 25mg/m 2 IV Infuse in 100ml N Saline over 30minutes or bolus in 10ml N Saline. Cycle frequency and treatment duration: 28 day cycle. Treatment based on a minimum of 3 cycles and a usual maximum of 6 cycles, to achieve optimum response. STAGE C CLL i.e. Hb <10 g/dl and platelets <100 x 10 9 /l not due to autoimmune phenomena should receive prednisolone 30mg/m 2 for 3 weeks, plus 1 week tailing off, followed 1 or 2 weeks later by the chemotherapy. 1 FLUDARABINE, MITOXANTRONE, DEXAMETHASONE (FMD) 3 1 to 3 Fludarabine 40mg/m 2 PO 10mg tablets see dosing chart in appendix 1 for number of tablets to take. OR 25mg/m 2 IV Intravenous bolus in 10ml 0.9% NaCl or infuse over 30min in 100ml 0.9% NaCl 1 Mitoxantrone 12mg/m 2 IV Slow IV bolus injection (diluted in 50ml 0.9% NaCl) over >3 minutes into the sidearm of a fast running NaCl 0.9% infusion or infuse in 100ml 0.9% NaCl over 15 minutes 1 to 5 Dexamethasone 20mg PO / IV Take in the morning Cycle frequency and treatment duration: Every 28 days, usual minimum of 4 cycles and a maximum of 8 cycles (a maximum of 6 cycles should be considered for patients experiencing repeated delayed myelosuppression with fludarabine). Fludarabine based chemotherapy protocols Page 2 of 6
3 Dose modifications Haematological: FC +/- R Neutropenia and thrombocytopenia may be due to the disease. However, if the treating haematologist considers that the fall in counts is due to the treatment, the following guidelines should be followed for the next treatment course 1. If neutrophils <1 x 10 9 /L and/or platelet <75 x 10 9 /L on day of treatment delay treatment for 1-2 weeks 2. If after 2 weeks delay the values are unchanged, treatment may proceed at 50% of the dose 3. If neutrophils <0.5 x 10 9 /L or platelets <50 x 10 9 /L when a new cycle is due delay treatment until the counts rise to at least these levels, with dose modifications as above if necessary. 4. Consider the use of GCSF to maintain treatment schedule. 5. For patients starting with thrombocytopenia, delay treatment if counts had not returned to baseline values by 4 weeks. FMD 1. Counts for the start of the second and subsequent cycles must be neutrophils >1.0 x 10 9 /L and platelets > 100 x 10 9 /L 2. If both criteria above are not met defer treatment for up to 2 weeks (Day 42) until criteria are met and reduce dose to level If delayed beyond this ensure G-CSF support initiated. 4. If criteria above reached before 4 weeks delay (Day 56) proceed with a minimum dose level with G- CSF support. 5. If delayed beyond 4 weeks (Day 56) despite G-CSF support consider discontinuation. 6. If neutrophils <0.5 x 10 9 /L for > 5 days or platelets <20 x 10 9 /L or second episode of neutropenic sepsis requiring admission reduce dose by one level for next cycle. If after this dose reduction the subsequent cycle has no associated haematological toxicity (neutrophil nadir > 1 x 10 9 /L and platelet nadir > 100 x10 9 /L) increase doses by one level Minimum Level 1 Standard level Fludarabine 15mg/m 2 25mg/m 2 25mg/m 2 Mitoxantrone 6mg/m 2 10mg/m 2 12mg/m 2 Dexamethasone 20mg 20mg 20mg RITUXIMAB 4 Patients with high numbers of circulating malignant cells (>25 x 10 9 /l) avoid rituximab until cell count reduced by other measures. Renal impairment: Fludarabine: 4 CrCl (ml/min) Dose >70 100% % <30 OMIT Cyclophosphamide: 10 CrCl (ml/min) Dose >50 100% % < 10 50% Hepatic impairment: Mitoxantrone: 5 Serum bilirubin Dose Fludarabine based chemotherapy protocols Page 3 of 6
4 <1.5 x ULN 100% x ULN 50% >3.0 x ULN 25% GI toxicity: Fludarabine and cyclophosphamide: Patients receiving oral therapy who experience gastrointestinal symptoms, such as nausea and/or vomiting and/or diarrhoea may have their administration switched to the IV route in accordance with IV protocol. Cardiac toxicity: Mitoxantrone: 6 The maximum cumulative dose in adults is 140mg/m 2 if no prior anthracycline and normal cardiac function. It is 120mg/m 2 if previous anthracycline, thoracic radiation and cyclophosphamide. This is reduced to 100mg/m2 if previous maximum dose anthracycline and normal cardiac assessment. However close monitoring of cardiac function is advisable e.g. echocardiogram every 2 cycles. Investigations prior to each subsequent treatment cycle 1. Blood tests FBC, U&Es, LFTs, LDH, DAT, reticulocyte count, DCT, serum haptoglobin 2. Restage after cycle 3 and after cycle 6 (if indicated). 3. Blood pressure and blood glucose monitoring as indicated for each patient if on FMD. Support therapy Suggested regimen only, follow local protocols The following is a possible schedule, follow local protocols. 1. Allopurinol 300mg daily during the first cycle (100mg daily if creatinine clearance <20 ml/min). 2. Anti-emetics regular 5HT 3 during chemotherapy and when needed post chemotherapy. 3. Co-trimoxazole 480mg bd PO on Mon, Wed, Fri during therapy and for at least 6 months after therapy 4. Aciclovir 400mg bd during therapy. 5. Fluconazole 50mg od or nystatin susp 1ml qds during therapy. 6. Chlorhexidine 0.2% MW 10ml qds during therapy. 7. PPI if on FMD.
