PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Subjects are followed until progressive disease/death or the end of the study. The median follow up time is 33.9 months.

Population: Intention to treat (ITT) population is defined as all patients randomized to the trial.

Progression free survival is defined as time from randomization to progressive disease or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Subjects are followed until progressive disease/death or the end of the study. The median follow up time is 33.9 months.

Population: The response-evaluable population was defined as all subjects in the ITT population who received at least 1 dose of VELCADE or rituximab, had at least 1 measurable tumor mass (\>1.5 cm in the longest dimension and \>1.0 cm in the short axis) at baseline, and had at least 1 post-baseline disease assessment by independent radiology reviewers/IRC.

Overall response rate is defined as Complete Response (CR) + Complete Response Unconfirmed (CRu) + Partial Response (PR) using International Working Group Criteria (IWGC) and Independent Radiographic Review results and clinical results. The IWGC CR requires complete disappearance of all detectable clinical and radiographic evidence of disease and disappearance of all disease-related symptoms, and normalization of lactic dehydrogenase and bone marrow involvement. CRu requires more than 75% reduction in sum of product of nodes (SPD). PR requires moer than 50% reduction in SPD.
