Inclusion Criteria

Subjects eligible for enrolment in the study must meet all of the following criteria at the time of screening:

• Patients who gave consent to this study participation and signed into informed consent form.
• Previously treated(Patients who received at least one prior CLL therapy and have either relapsed or have refractory disease, both requiring therapy.) CLL with at least 5 x 109 B lymphocytes/ L (5000/μL). The diagnosis of CLL requires CD5, CD19, CD20 and CD23 positivity, according to the International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL) guidelines [Hallek, 2008].
• Laboratory test values meet the following criteria which indicate that patients have sufficient physiological functions;

Neutrophils:1≥ 500 /mm3 ALT ≤ 2.5 times upper local normal limit Creatinine ≤ 1.5 times upper local normal limit Total bilirubin≤ 1.5 times upper local normal limit

1:Patients should not receive any hematopoietic cytokine such as G-CSF preparations within 1 week before screening laboratory test for neutrophil counting.

• Patients who passed the following periods from the last anti-cancer treatments at the time of screening: At least 4 weeks after anti-cancer chemotherapy. At least 4 weeks after anti-cancer radiotherapy. At least 4 weeks after glucocorticoids treatment for CLL unless ≤ 10 mg of prednisolone /day.

• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) of 0, 1, or 2.
• Life expectancy more than 24 weeks after screening test.
• Aged ≥ 20 (at the time of signing informed consent).
• Patients possible to stay at the trial site for at least two days (the day of the first infusion and a subsequent day).

A subject will not be eligible for inclusion in this study if any of the following criteria is met:

• Active malignancy which needs therapy with anti-cancer drug, except for CLL.
• Known Richter's transformation.
• Previous autologous stem cell transplantation, within 24 weeks prior to screening.
• Previous allogenic stem cell transplantation.
• Known CNS involvement.
• History of significant cerebrovascular disease.
• Current cardiac disease requiring medical treatment (e.g. atrial flutter treated with acetylsalicylic acid and beta blocking agents).
• Chronic or active infectious disease requiring systemic (intravenous or oral) treatment such as, but not limited to, chronic renal infection, chronic chest infection with bronchiectasis and tuberculosis.
• Suspected/known immediate or delayed hypersensitivity to components of ofatumumab.
• Patients previously treated with ofatumumab.
• Positive serology test for any of HBsAg, anti-HBcAb or anti-HCVAb. If only anti-HBcAb results is positive, HBV-DNA test will be performed. If HBV-DNA results in negative, the patient is eligible.
• HIV positivity.
• Pregnant or lactating women.

Adequate contraception is defined as follows but not limited to; Abstinence. Oral Contraceptive (exclude oral progesterone alone). Intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS). Male partner sterilization. Double barrier method: condom or occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical / vault caps) plus spermicidal agent (gel / film) etc.
• Use of an investigational drug within 4 weeks prior to screening.
• Current participation in any other clinical study.
• Significant concurrent, uncontrolled medical condition including, but not limited to, renal, hepatic, hematological, gastrointestinal, endocrine, pulmonary, neurological, cerebral or psychiatric disease.
