PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks after the last subject completes their end of treatment visit.

Population: Response-evaluable population is defined at patients treated with 90 mg/m\^2 bendamustine, received at least one dose of any study drug, and had at least one post baseline response assessment.

Response is assessed by investigator according to International Working Group (IWG) criteria. Complete response requires disappearance of all evidence of disease.
