Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy such as fludarabine work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Biological therapies such as thalidomide use different ways to stimulate the immune system and stop cancer cells from growing Combining fludarabine with thalidomide may kill more cancer cells

PURPOSE This phase III trial is studying the side effects and best dose of thalidomide when given together with fludarabine and to see how well they work in treating patients with newly diagnosed B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the safety and efficacy of fludarabine and thalidomide in patients with newly diagnosed B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Determine the overall response rate complete and partial in patients treated with this regimen
Determine the duration of response in patients treated with this regimen

OUTLINE This is an open-label phase I dose-escalation study of thalidomide followed by a phase II study

Phase I Beginning on day 1 patients receive oral thalidomide once daily for up to 6 months Beginning on day 7 patients also receive fludarabine IV over 30 minutes daily for 5 days Treatment with fludarabine repeats every 28-35 days for up to 6 courses Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of thalidomide until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity

Phase II Patients receive fludarabine and thalidomide as in phase I at the MTD

Patients are followed at 4 weeks every 3 months for 2 years and then every 4 months for 2 years

PROJECTED ACCRUAL Up to 45 patients 9 for the phase I portion and 36 for the phase II portion will be accrued for this study within 8 years
