Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to determine whether interleukin-2 given 3 times weekly for 8 weeks in combination with rituximab is effective and safe when compared to rituximab given alone in the treatment of follicular NHL subjects that have never received rituximab as a treatment and are refractory or relapsed after previous chemotherapy.
