Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: Phase II Study of Cyclosporine in T-Cell Large Granular Lymphocytic Leukemia

Brief Summary:

RATIONALE: Cyclosporine may improve low blood counts caused by hematologic cancer.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of cyclosporine in treating patients who have low blood counts caused by hematologic cancer.


Detailed Summary:

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the frequency of cytopenic response in patients with T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia treated with cyclosporine.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral cyclosporine every 12 hours. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 4 months for 1 year and then every 6 months for 9 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 9-30 patients will be accrued for this study within 3 years.
