Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy regimen is more effective for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of two different combination chemotherapy regimens in treating patients who have stage III or stage IV non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

* Compare the overall survival rate, progression free survival rate, clinical and molecular remission rates, and time to treatment failure in patients with newly diagnosed stage III or IV follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with chlorambucil, mitoxantrone, and dexamethasone versus fludarabine, mitoxantrone, and dexamethasone.
* Compare the efficacy and tolerability of these regimens in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to International Prognostic Index score \[low risk (score 1) vs intermediate low risk (score 2) vs intermediate high risk (score 3) vs high risk (score 4 or 5)\]. Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms.

* Arm I: Patients receive mitoxantrone IV on day 1, oral chlorambucil on days 1-10, and oral dexamethasone on days 1-5.
* Arm II: Patients receive mitoxantrone and dexamethasone as in arm I and fludarabine IV on days 1-3.

Treatment continues every 4 weeks for 4-8 courses.

Patients are followed at 3, 6, and 12 months, every 6 months for 1 year, and then annually thereafter until clinical relapse.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 500 patients (250 per arm) will be accrued for this study within 4 years.
