Trial Outcomes & Findings for Rituximab and Liposomal Doxorubicin in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NCT NCT00244985)

NCT ID: NCT00244985

Last Updated: 2017-08-17

Results Overview

Complete Response (CR): During observation no disease is apparent, including measurable and non-measurable disease, for at least 28 days, as confirmed by a second assessment following the original observation of no disease. All nodes visualized on imaging studies or palpable on exams must have regressed to normal size their greatest transverse diameter for nodes \> 1.5 em before therapy). Previously involved nodes that were 1.1 to 1.5 in their greatest transverse diameter before treatment must have decreased to 1 cm in their greatest transverse diameter after treatment or by more than 75% in the sum of the products of the greatest diameters (SPD). The patient must also be free from symptoms related to lymphoma, if present before therapy with no worsening in performance status from baseline. Bone marrow, if initially positive at baseline, must be histologically negative for lymphoma and the liver and spleen, if enlarged due to lymphoma at baseline, should be normalized.
