Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Indolent B-cell follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (grade I-II according to REAL classification)
* Stage II to IV according to Ann Arbor staging system
* WHO performance status grade 0, 1 or 2 and life expectancy of greater than 6 months

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients who have received any previous treatment for follicular NHL
* Patients with severe or life-threatening cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, psychiatric or metabolic disease

* Histological transformation to aggressive B-cell lymphoma
* Patients with prior malignancies except non melanoma skin tumors or stage 0 (in situ) cervical carcinoma
* Impairment of hepatic function unless disease related indicated by bilirubin, ASAT, ALAT or gamma-GT raised 2 times above the upper limit of the local laboratory range
* Impairment of renal function indicated by serum creatinine \< 30 ml/min
* Patients who require systemic long-term therapy with glucocorticoids
* Participation at the same time in another study in which investigational drugs are used
