November 5, 2015 updated by: Hoffmann-La Roche

A Multicenter, Phase III, Open-label Study Evaluating the Benefit of a Long-term Effect of MabThera (Rituximab) Maintenance Therapy in Patients With Advanced Follicular Lymphoma After Induction of Response (CR[u] or PR) With MabThera (Rituximab) Containing First-line Regimen

This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of long-term maintenance therapy with rituximab in participants with advanced follicular lymphoma who have had a positive response to first-line treatment with a rituximab-containing regimen. The anticipated time on study treatment is 2 years, and the target sample size is 124 individuals.

Phase

Phase

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Adult participants greater than (>) 18 years of age
  • Histologically confirmed follicular lymphoma Grade 1, 2, or 3a with lymph node biopsy within 4 months of induction treatment
  • No previous anti-lymphoma treatment before induction chemotherapy (first-line-treated participants only are eligible)
  • Verified complete or partial remission after first-line induction therapy including rituximab

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Grade 3b follicular lymphoma

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Event-free Survival
Time Frame: From randomization to the time to progression, relapse, death from any cause, or institution of a new treatment, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 5 years
Event-free survival (EFS) was defined as the time from baseline (Week 0) to the time to progression, relapse, death from any cause, or institution of a new treatment, whichever occurs first. Mean EFS was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier estimation and provided with their 95% confidence interval. ITT population (patients who received at least one maintenance MabThera infusion) was used for this analysis.
From randomization to the time to progression, relapse, death from any cause, or institution of a new treatment, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 5 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
Time Frame: Up to 27 months
An adverse event (AE) was considered any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease associated with the use of the study drug, whether or not considered related to the study drug. A serious adverse event (SAE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, requires intervention to prevent permanent impairment or damage, or results in death
Up to 27 months
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: From randomization until death, assessed up to 5 years
Overall survival, defined as the time between baseline (Week 0) and the date of death irrespective of the cause of death. Mean OS was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier estimation and provided with their 95% confidence interval. ITT population was used for this analysis.
From randomization until death, assessed up to 5 years
Time to Progression (TTP)
Time Frame: From baseline (Week 0) to disease progression, relapse, death from the follicular lymphoma or institution of a new regimen, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 5 years
Time to progression (TTP) defined as time from baseline to disease progression or relapse, death from the follicular lymphoma or institution of a new regimen because of the follicular lymphoma. Mean TTP was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier estimation and provided with their 95% confidence interval. ITT population was used for this analysis.
From baseline (Week 0) to disease progression, relapse, death from the follicular lymphoma or institution of a new regimen, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 5 years
Time to Next Anti-lymphoma Treatment (TTNLT)
Time Frame: From baseline (Week 0) to institution of a new antilymphoma regimen, assessed up to 5 years
Time to next anti-lymphoma treatment (TTNLT) defined as time from baseline to institution of a new antilymphoma regimen (including chemo-, radio- or immunotherapies). Mean TTNLT was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier estimation and provided with their 95% confidence interval.
From baseline (Week 0) to institution of a new antilymphoma regimen, assessed up to 5 years
Duration of Response (DR)
Time Frame: From first documented response to induction treatment to relapse or progression or death, assessed up to 5 years
Duration of Response (DR) defined as time from first documented response to induction treatment to relapse or progression or death from the follicular lymphoma. Mean DR was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier estimation and provided with their 95% confidence interval.
From first documented response to induction treatment to relapse or progression or death, assessed up to 5 years
Disease-free Survival (DFS)
Time Frame: From first documented complete response to induction treatment to relapse or progression or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 5 years
Disease free survival (DFS) being defined as time from first documented complete response to induction treatment to relapse or progression or death from the follicular lymphoma. Mean DFS was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier estimation and provided with their 95% confidence interval.
From first documented complete response to induction treatment to relapse or progression or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 5 years
