Safety and Efficacy Study of BCD-020 in Therapy of Indolent Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

November 2, 2017 updated by: Biocad

A Multicenter Open-label Randomized Study of BCD-020 (Rituximab, CJSC BIOCAD, Russia) Efficacy and Safety in Comparison With MabThera (F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., Switzerland) in Monotherapy of CD20-positive Indolent Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

This international multi-center, randomized, controlled, open-label study investigated the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, efficacy and safety of BCD-020 (INN: rituximab, CJSC Biocad) versus MabThera® (INN: rituximab, F. Hoffmann La Roche, Ltd.) both administered as a monotherapy of patients with indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Patients were randomized to receive 375 mg/m² BCD-020 as intravenous infusion once a week for 4 weeks or MabThera® at the same regimen.
