It really depends on their release schedule. Right now, you can run the Caves of Chaos as a campaign, but it won't take very long (the pregens are only leveled to 3rd), there's no character creation rules, and frankly the rules just aren't ready to support a long-term game yet.
You're going to have to wait for 1) character generation rules, 2) higher levels available for PCs, 3) more monsters, and 4) tighter edits and more finalization on the core rules. And that's at a minimum. Since WotC hasn't given us a firm timeline for when they plan to release what beyond the "we hope to have chargen by the end of the summer" stated above, there's just no way of knowing right now.
You could theoretically run a game now with it, but it would require a lot of house rules and a lot of attempting to extrapolate things from the pregen characters - basically figuring out what the Race, Class, Theme, and Background do specifically and how they're affected by level. And if you wanted to stay current on the rules, you'd have to be willing to scrap everything you've done and starting over when they change something.
