Participant Flow

All patients were recruited from Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University.

A total of 37 patients were enrolled. However, not all patients participated in both phases of this study. For phase I, 19 patients were enrolled, and for phase II, 30 patients were enrolled.

Measure
Treatment (VR-CHOP Regimen)
Phase I will identify the maximal tolerated doses of bortezomib and vincristine when used in a combination of bortezomib, rituximab and the cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) chemotherapy regimen. In Phase II, the trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the MTD combination of VELCADE and rituximab-CHOP in additional subjects who have untreated follicular B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL)(Grade 1, 2, 3a), small lymphocytic lymphoma, or marginal zone lymphoma.

1.62 mg/m^2
Interval 0.63 to 1.88

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Following completion of therapy, up to 2 years

Response was assessed by computerized tomography (CT) after every 2 cycles of induction therapy, one time at least 4 weeks after completing induction (i.e., prior to maintenance), and then every 3 months while on maintenance therapy. At the conclusion of maintenance therapy, patients underwent one post-treatment scan, with further scans completed at the discretion of the treating physician. Positron emission tomography was permitted but only CT measurements were used to determine response.
