  6. Change From Baseline (BL) in the 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 (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 Likert 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 = severe symptoms or problems. Changes from Baseline were analyzed by a mixed model-repeated measures analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).

    Time frame: From randomization until the end of the study (up to 47 months)

  7. Change From Baseline in the European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) Score

    The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a self-reported, 30-item cancer-specific instrument that assesses 15 domains: physical functioning (5 items), role functioning (2 items), emotional functioning (4 items), cognitive functioning (2 items), social functioning (2 items), pain (2 items), fatigue (3 items), nausea and vomiting (2 items), five single-item symptom scores (insomnia, loss of appetite, constipation, diarrhea, and dyspnea), a single item asking about financial difficulties, and global health status/quality of life (QOF) consisting of 2 items. Functional and symptoms scales were measured on a four-point Likert scale, where 1 = not at all and 4 = very much, whereas global health status or QOF was assessed using a 7-item Likert scale, ranging from "poor" (worse quality of life) to "excellent" (better quality of life). Changes from Baseline were analyzed by mixed model-repeated measures ANCOVA.

  8. Change From Baseline in the Quality of Life Status as Assessed by the EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D) Scale

    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 (worst health) to 1 (perfect health). The thermometer score ranges from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state). Changes from Baseline were analyzed by mixed model-repeated measures ANCOVA. A negative adjusted mean change from Baseline represents a worsening of quality of life.

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 (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 Likert 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 = severe symptoms or problems. Changes from Baseline were analyzed by a mixed model-repeated measures analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).

SecondaryChange From Baseline in the European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) Score

The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a self-reported, 30-item cancer-specific instrument that assesses 15 domains: physical functioning (5 items), role functioning (2 items), emotional functioning (4 items), cognitive functioning (2 items), social functioning (2 items), pain (2 items), fatigue (3 items), nausea and vomiting (2 items), five single-item symptom scores (insomnia, loss of appetite, constipation, diarrhea, and dyspnea), a single item asking about financial difficulties, and global health status/quality of life (QOF) consisting of 2 items. Functional and symptoms scales were measured on a four-point Likert scale, where 1 = not at all and 4 = very much, whereas global health status or QOF was assessed using a 7-item Likert scale, ranging from "poor" (worse quality of life) to "excellent" (better quality of life). Changes from Baseline were analyzed by mixed model-repeated measures ANCOVA.

SecondaryChange From Baseline in the Quality of Life Status as Assessed by the EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D) Scale

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 (worst health) to 1 (perfect health). The thermometer score ranges from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state). Changes from Baseline were analyzed by mixed model-repeated measures ANCOVA. A negative adjusted mean change from Baseline represents a worsening of quality of life.

SecondarySummary of Covariates to Compute Cox Proportional Hazards Regression Model for Relationship Between Investigator Assessed Progression-free Survival and the Indicated Prognostic Markers

Blood samples were collected for the assessment of the following prognostic markers at Baseline (BL) and upon relapse: immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region (IgVH) mutational status; VH3-21 usage; Cytogenetics (by fluorescent in situ hybridization \[FISH\]) including 6q-, 11q-, +12q, 17p-, 13q- deletions; 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) at BL, IgVH mutational status at BL, beta 2 microglobulin at BL, BL CD20 and BL complement level. 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%)=CY G.
