Brief Summary:
This open-label, randomized, 3-arm study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of obinutuzumab (RO5072759) in combination with chlorambucil as compared to rituximab plus chlorambucil or chlorambucil alone in patients with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Patients will be randomized 2:2:1 to receive a maximum of six 28-day cycles of either RO5072759 (1000 mg intravenous (iv) infusion, on days 1, 8 and 15 of cycle 1 and day 1 of cycles 2-6) plus chlorambucil (0.5 mg/kg orally, days 1 and 15 of cycles 1-6), or rituximab (iv infusion day 1, 375 mg/m^2 cycle 1, 500 mg/m^2 cycles 2-6) plus chlorambucil, or chlorambucil alone. Anticipated time on study treatment is >6 months and follow-up for disease-progression and safety will be at least 5 years. In the US, this trial is sponsored/managed by Genentech.

    Duration of Response was defined as the date the response [either Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR)] was first recorded until the date of Disease Progression or death due to any cause. Response was assessed according IWCLL guidelines.

  8. Percentage of Participants With Molecular Remission at the End of Treatment [ Time Frame: Randomization to clinical cutoff date of 10 Oct 2017 (median observation 62.5 months from randomization) ]
    Molecular remission was defined as a minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative result at the end of treatment (assessment that occurred between 56 days and 6 months of last treatment). Molecular remission was assessed for all patients using a blood sample. Additionally, a bone marrow sample was obtained from patients whom the investigator assumed to have a complete response, consistent with the IWCLL guidelines. A combined analysis of blood and bone marrow results was conducted. A patient was considered MRD negative if result was less than 1 chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cell in 10000 leukocytes (MRD value < 0.0001) based on the method of allele specific polymerase chain reaction (ASO-PCR).

    Blood samples were collected from all patients allocated to the GClb treatment arm pre- and post-dose Day 1 of Cycles 1 to 6 and were sent to a laboratory. The concentration of obinutzumab in serum was determined using a validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and was reported in micrograms/milliliter (μg/mL).

  11. European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30 Questionnaire Score [ Time Frame: Baseline and Cycle 4 Day 1 (Cy4D1) ]
    The EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire QLQ-C30 was used to assess patient-reported outcomes (PRO) and symptom burden. The QLQ-C30 contains 30 items including the functional scales of physical functioning (5 items), role functioning (2 items), emotional functioning (4 items), cognitive functioning (2 items), social functioning (2 items) and symptom scales including fatigue (3 items), nausea and vomiting (2 items), and pain (4 items) and six single item scales on dyspnea, sleep disturbance, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea and financial impact. Final scores are transformed such that they range from 0 - 100, whereby higher scores indicate greater functioning, greater quality of life, or a greater degree of symptoms, with changes of 5 - 10 points considered to be of minimally important difference to participants. A positive change from Baseline indicated improvement.

  12. European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-CLL16 Questionnaire Score [ Time Frame: Baseline and Cycle 4 Day 1 (Cy4D1) ]
    EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-CLL16) module was used to assess patient-reported outcomes and symptom burden. The QLQ-CLL16 module includes three multi-item scales assessing fatigue (2 items), treatment side effects and disease symptoms (8 items), infection (4 items) and two single item scales on social activities and future health worries. Final scores are transformed such that they range from 0 - 100, whereby higher scores indicate greater functioning, greater quality of life, or a greater degree of symptoms, with changes of 5 - 10 points considered to be of minimally important difference to participants. A positive change from Baseline indicated improvement.
