Abstract
In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients with mutated IGHV, 3 recent studies have demonstrated prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) after treatment with fludarabine-cyclophosphamide-rituximab (FCR) chemoimmunotherapy. We performed a systematic review to assess the benefit of FCR for patients with CLL and identified 5 randomized trials that met our inclusion criteria. FCR improved complete remission, PFS and overall survival vs the comparator; median PFS was not reached in the subgroup of CLL patients with mutated IGHV.Entities:
