CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Genzyme Corporation (Nasdaq: GENZ) announced data from its CAM314 randomized Phase 3 clinical trial comparing Campath® (alemtuzumab) in combination with Fludara® (fludarabine phosphate) (FluCAM) to Fludara alone in patients with relapsed and refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) demonstrated that the FluCAM regimen significantly reduced the risk of disease progression or death compared to single-agent Fludara. Importantly, advanced–stage, second-line CLL patients receiving FluCAM more than doubled the amount of time without disease progression in comparison to patients receiving Fludara alone. Data from the study were the subject of an oral presentation today at the 2009 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) in New Orleans, LA.
