Trial Outcomes & Findings for Rituximab and GM-CSF in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Follicular B-Cell Lymphoma (NCT NCT00411086)

NCT ID: NCT00411086

Last Updated: 2017-12-05

Results Overview

Complete disappearance of all detectable clinical and radiographic evidence of disease and disappearance of all disease-related symptoms if present before therapy, and normalization of those biochemical abnormalities \[e.g., lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)\] definitely assignable to NHL. Response and progression evaluated using the International Criteria proposed in the Report of an International Workshop to Standardize Response Criteria for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks (3 months)

Population: Response includes unconfirmed CRs.

Complete disappearance of all detectable clinical and radiographic evidence of disease and disappearance of all disease-related symptoms if present before therapy, and normalization of those biochemical abnormalities \[e.g., lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)\] definitely assignable to NHL. Response and progression evaluated using the International Criteria proposed in the Report of an International Workshop to Standardize Response Criteria for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas.

Complete Response Rate
23 percentage of participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 years

PFS is defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression; and, for PFS time calculated from chemo start date to progression date or death date, whichever happened first. Patients were censored at the last follow-up date if neither progression nor death occurred. Response and progression evaluated using the International Criteria proposed in the Report of an International Workshop to Standardize Response Criteria for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for time-to-event analysis including PFS.
