Overview
The mainstay of treatmen for symptomatic chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients is immunochemotherapy. Asymptomatic chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients are managed with observation and follow up, whereas symptomatic chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients are treated with immunochemotherapy. Immunochemotherapies used for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients include purine analogues, alkylating agents, monoclonal antibodies, corticosteroids, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and B-cell receptor pathway inhibitors. Radiation therapy is not recommended for the management of chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients.
Immunochemotherapy
- The mainstay of treatment for symptomatic chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients is immunochemotherapy.
- Asymptomatic chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients are managed with observation and follow up, whereas symptomatic chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients are treated with immunochemotherapy.[1]
- Indications to initiate immunochemotherapy among patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia include:[2]
- Symptomatic chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients presenting with:
- Fever of unknown origin (>38.1°C for a period greater than two weeks)
- Night sweats for ≥ one month
- Unintentional significant weight loss (≥10%) over a period of six months
- Patients presenting with thrombocytopenia or anemia due to bone marrow failure
- Patients presenting with refractory autoimmune hemolytic anemia or refractory autoimmune thrombocytopenia
- Evidence of symptomatic splenomegaly, with the spleen being palpated ≥ 6 cm below the costal margin
- Evidence of symptomatic progressive lymph nodes swelling, with a size ≥10 cm in diameter
- Evidence of a rapidly progressive lymphocytosis, which might be observed as:
- An increase of greater than 50% over a 2-month period
- A lymphocyte doubling in a period shorter than six months
- Immunochemotherapeutic agents used for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients include:[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
-
- Alkylating agents such as:
- Monoclonal antibodies such as:
- Immunomodulatory agents such as:
- Corticosteroids such as:
- Tyrosine kinase and B cell receptor pathway inhibitors such as:
- Idelalisib (targets phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta)
- Ibrutinib (targets bruton tyrosine kinase)
- The optimal immunochemotherapeutic regimen used for the management of chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients depends on a number of factors which include:
- The clinical presentation of the patients
- The performance status of the patients
- The stage of the tumor
- The presence of specific genetic mutations
- First line therapy vs. refractory/relapsed therapy
- The algorithm below summarizes the management approach for chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients:[12][13][14]

Supportive Therapy
Opportunistic Infections Prophylaxis

- Influenza vaccine administered annually

- Other strategies for the prevention of opportunistic infections include:
- Sulfamethoxazole/ trimethoprim can be administered to patients receiving purine analogues as a prophylaxis for pneumocystis pneumonia infection.
- Acyclovir can be administered to patients receiving purine analogues as a prophylaxis for herpes simplex virus infection.
Autoimmune Cytopenia Prophylaxis
- Corticosteroids is recommended for the management of autoimmune cytopenia among chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients. Other therapeutic measures may include:[40][41][42]
- Romiplostim is recommended for the management of autoimmune thrombocytopenia among chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients.
Thromboprophylaxis
- A daily aspirin dose is recommended among chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients who receive lenalidomide, while their platelet count is greater than 50000 per microliter.
- However, aspirin administration is not needed for such chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients who are already on warfarin.
Radiation Therapy
- Radiation therapy is recommended for the management of chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients in the presence of large lymphoid masses causing compression symptoms and refractory to chemotherapy.[43][44]
