Valproic acid (VPA) is an inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDAC) used as an anticonvulsant and mood-stabilizing drug for decades. VPA mediates apoptosis in CLL cells through caspase activation. VPA shows toxicity toward CLL cells displaying alterations in the p53 pathway. The combination of VPA with fludarabine or 2-Chlorodeoxyadenosine (CdA, Cladribine) results in synergistic loss of B-CLL cell viability, and significant increase in apoptosis. The highest index of synergism is observed between VPA and CdA, a purine nucleoside analog active in B-CLL.\n\nStudy design Overall, the study will be proposed to previously treated patients with advanced B-CLL, who are not eligible for aggressive approaches, and who exhibit progressive disease. A total of 33 patients will be included. Estimated enrolment time is 2 years.\n\n* First part: It is planned to start therapy with single VPA during 2 months, targeting plasma levels that have been reported to be active in vitro toward CLL cells (but that do not exceed therapeutic levels in seizure prevention), and in parallel, to verify whether cellular targets of VPA have been actually inhibited in leukemic B-lymphocytes.\n* Second part: After the VPA preloading period (2 months), patients will be evaluated to receive CdA. CdA will be given at 5.6 mg/m²/day intravenously during 3 days, a reduced-dose schedule which is less toxic - at no obvious cost of loss of efficacy - as compared to the standard dosage of 5 days. CdA was chosen because it displays the highest level of in vitro synergism with VPA. Four monthly courses of CdA will be given. Patients will then be evaluated. VPA will be stopped at the time of response evaluation (scheduled 28 days after the last course of CdA).'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* B-cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)\n* Patients must have intermediate or high-risk categories of the modified 3-stage Rai and Binet staging\n* Patient MUST have progressive or symptomatic disease as defined by any of the following conditions:\n\n * Progressive lymphocytosis with a lymphocyte count increased \\> 50% over the last 2 months period or an anticipation of the doubling time in less than 6 months\n * Progressive or symptomatic splenomegaly or hepatomegaly\n * Progressive or symptomatic lymphadenopathy\n * Evidence of progressive marrow failure as manifested by development or worsening of anemia and/or thrombocytopenia\n * Presence of any B-symptoms: weight loss ≥ 10% within the previous 6 months, fever \\> 38.0°C for ≥ 2 weeks without evidence of infection, or night sweats without evidence of infection\n* Patient must have received one or more prior therapies for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.
