PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the response rate and progression-free survival rate in patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or noncontiguous stage II or stage III or IV small lymphocytic lymphoma treated with apolizumab. II. Determine the safety of this drug, in terms of the frequency and severity of treatment-related adverse events, in these patients. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine clinical response to apolizumab varies by genetic subtype of CLL. II. Determine if pharmacokinetic clearance is truly predicted by 1D10 antigen density on the individual patient CLL cell and how apolizumab clearance correlates with response and selected toxicities observed. III. To determine the importance of reactive oxygen species and specific signaling pathways in promoting apolizumab-mediated apoptosis in vitro and in vivo in primary CLL cells and if this correlates with clinical response to therapy. IV. To determine the cellular properties which convey resistance to apolizumab in CLL in vivo. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive apolizumab IV over 2-4 hours on days 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 17, 19, 22, 24, and 26 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed at 1 week, at 1 and 2 months, every 3 months for 1 year, and then every 6 months for 3 years.

Protocol

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.
Design Details

32 patients to be enrolled

Total number of participants that the clinical trial aims to recruit.

Treatment Study

These studies test new ways to treat a disease, condition, or health issue. The goal is to see if a new drug, therapy, or approach works better or has fewer side effects than existing options.



Eligibility

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria: person's general health condition or prior treatments.
