Trial Outcomes & Findings for Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide, and Pegfilgrastim in Treating Patients With Leukemia or Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NCT NCT00278161)

NCT ID: NCT00278161

Last Updated: 2018-11-05

Results Overview

Median days to neutrophil and platelet recovery. Neutrophil recovery is defined as absolute neutrophil count \>= 500 cells per microliter; platelet recovery is defined as untransfused platelet count \>= 20 \* 10\^9 cells per liter.

Recruitment status

Participant Flow

16 participants were screen failures. IRB allowed 3 of those participants to be analyzed along with the 78 who were treated as part of the study. Because the 3 additional participants received the exact same protocol intervention, the total population for analysis purposes is 81.
