chlorambucil and Neutropenia

chlorambucil has been researched along with Neutropenia in 22 studies

Chlorambucil: A nitrogen mustard alkylating agent used as antineoplastic for chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, and others. Although it is less toxic than most other nitrogen mustards, it has been listed as a known carcinogen in the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985). (Merck Index, 11th ed)
chlorambucil : A monocarboxylic acid that is butanoic acid substituted at position 4 by a 4-[bis(2-chloroethyl)amino]phenyl group. A chemotherapy drug that can be used in combination with the antibody obinutuzumab for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Neutropenia: A decrease in the number of NEUTROPHILS found in the blood.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)

An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events. AEs, including AEs of Special Interest and AEs of Particular Interest, were reported based on the national cancer institute common terminology criteria for AEs, Version 4.0 (NCI-CTCAE, v4.0). Reported are the number of subjects with AEs, Grade 3-5 AEs, and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs). (NCT01905943)

ORR is defined as the proportion of subjects who achieved complete response (CR), complete response with incomplete marrow recovery (CRi), nodule partial response (nPR) or PR per IRC assessment. Response criteria are as outlined in the International Workshop on CLL (iwCLL) 2008 criteria with the 2012 iwCLL modification stating that treatment-related lymphocytosis in the setting of improvement in other parameters was not considered as PD and the 2013 iwCLL clarification of criteria for a partial response to therapy. (NCT01722487)
Timeframe: Analysis was conducted when 15 months had elapsed after the last subject was randomized with the cutoff date of 4 May 2015. The median follow-up time is 18 month.

Overall Survival (OS)

OS is calculated for all randomized subjects as the duration of time from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause or the date last known alive for subjects who were not known to have died at study closure. (NCT01722487)
Timeframe: Analysis was conducted when 15 months had elapsed after the last subject was randomized with the cutoff date of 4 May 2015. The median follow-up time is 18 month.
