A Study Evaluating the Safety of Tocilizumab in Addition to Standard of Care Premedication Given Before Obinutuzumab + Chlorambucil in Participants With Untreated B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (B-CLL) and Comorbidities

NCT02336048

Description:

This multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the safety of a single infusion of tocilizumab versus placebo, administered in addition to standard premedications (antipyretic, antihistamine, and corticosteroid) prior to the first infusion of obinutuzumab administered in combination with oral chlorambucil to participants with previously untreated B-CLL who have comorbidities. All eligible participants will be treated with a total of 6 cycles of obinutuzumab + chlorambucil (cycle length = 28 days).
