NCT ID: NCT01153971

Last Updated: 2017-08-01

Results Overview

Cycle 1 (28-day cycle): Participants received fludarabine 25 milligrams per square meter (mg/m\^2) intravenously (IV) and cyclophosphamide 250 mg/m\^2 IV on Days 1, 2, and 3 and rituximab 375 mg/m\^2 IV on Day 8, followed by 20 days of rest. Cycles 2-3 and Cycle 6 (28-day cycle): Participants received rituximab 375 mg/m\^2 IV on Day 1 and fludarabine 25 mg/m\^2 IV and cyclophosphamide 250 mg/m\^2 IV on Days 2, 3, and 4 followed by 24 days of rest. Cycles 4-5 (28-day cycle): Participants received fludarabine 25 mg/m\^2 IV and cyclophosphamide 250 mg/m\^2 IV on Days 2, 3, and 4 and rituximab 375 mg/m\^2 IV on Day 14, followed by 14 days of rest. Cycles 7-10 (2-month cycle): Following 2 months rest after the completion of Cycle 6, participants with complete response (CR), unconfirmed complete response (CRu), or partial response (PR), received maintenance therapy with rituximab 375 mg/m\^2 IV on Day 1, followed by 2 months rest; cycle was repeated 4 times.

Population: ITT population

CR: complete disappearance of all symptoms/objective signs of disease (enlarged lymph nodes, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly) for at least 3 months following definitive re-evaluation at end of therapy. For initial bone marrow involvement, clearance of bone marrow documented by biopsy, normalization of blood counts with granulocytes greater than (\>)1,500 per microliter (/µL), hemoglobin \>12 grams per deciliter (g/dL), platelets \>100,000/µL. CRu: disappearance of all symptoms and nearly all measurable lesions, but persistence of some radiologic abnormalities with normalization of all biologic abnormalities; normalization of the performance status for at least 3 months after the definite evaluation of therapy. PR: at least 50 percent (%) reduction of measurable and evaluable lymphoma involvement for at least 4 weeks without occurrence of new manifestations, normalization of blood counts. Participants without evaluation at end of induction/maintenance phase were considered nonresponders.

Population: ITT population

FFS data were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. FFS was measured from the date of treatment start to the date of documented disease progression, relapse, or death from any cause. Responding participants, participants who were lost to follow up, who withdrew consent, or dropped out due to adverse events (AE) were censored at their last assessment date. The reported data refer to values up to 40 months.

Population: ITT population; only participants who achieved a complete response (CR/CRu) at month 1 after the completion of treatment of the induction phase were included in the analysis.

DFS data were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. DFS was defined for all participants who achieved a complete response (CR/CRu) at month 1 after the completion of treatment of the induction phase (Month 7 of the study) and was measured from the time of CR to the date of relapse. Participants without relapse were censored at their last assessment date. Participants who died due to tumour burden were considered in relapse. Participants who died due to any other causes were censored as of the death date. The reported data refer to values up to 40 months.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Months 1-8, 10-12, 14, 16, 22, 28, 34 and 40.

Population: ITT population; only participants who achieved a complete response (CR/CRu) at month 1 after the completion of treatment of the induction phase were included in the analysis.

DFS was defined for all participants who achieved a complete response (CR/CRu) at month 1 after the completion of treatment of the induction phase (month 7 of the study) and was measured from the time of complete response to the date of relapse. Participants without relapse were censored at their last assessment date. Participants who died due to tumour burden were considered in relapse. Participants who died due to any other causes were censored on the death date. NOTE: The mean survival time and its standard error were underestimated because the largest observation was censored and the estimation was restricted to the largest event time.
