Bendamustine, Rituximab
This is a single arm intervention where patients will receive bendamustine at a dose of 120 mg/m\^2 infused over 60 minutes in days 1 and 2 of each 21 day cycle along with rituximab 375 mg/m\^2 after bendamustine on day 1 of each cycle. Patients with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) of 3 at baseline were allowed to receive bendamustine at a dose of 90 mg/m\^2 daily with a dose increase to 120 mg/m\^2 daily if their ECOG improved.
Bendamustine: Dosage Form: Intravenous (60 minute infusion) Dosage: 120mg/m2 (ECOG = 0-2) or 90mg/m2 (ECOG = 3) Frequency: Day 1 and Day 2; Every 3 weeks of a 21 day cycle. Duration: 3-6 Cycles
Rituximab: Dosage form: Intravenous Dosage: 375 mg/m2 Frequency: Day 1 of every 3 weeks of a 21 day Cycle Duration: 3-6 Cycles

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: 2 yearsPopulation: This represents the data after inclusion of the first 23 patients at the planned interim analysis. The data analysis was performed prior to the previously determined 3-year follow-up period because the study did not reach the initially planned sample size to determine the survival rates in a statistically significant manner as secondary objectives.
Complete response (CR) is defined as the complete disappearance of all detectable clinical evidence of disease and disease-related symptoms if present before therapy. The complete response rate is the percentage of participants achieving a CR.

The data analysis was performed prior to the previously determined 3-year follow-up period because the study did not reach the initially planned sample size to determine the survival rates in a statistically significant manner as secondary objectives.
The ORR consists of the complete response rate + the partial response rate (percentage of participants achieving a complete or partial response). Complete response is defined by The International Harmonization Project for Response Criteria as the complete disappearance of all detectable clinical evidence of disease and disease-related symptoms if present before therapy. Partial response is defined as regression of measurable disease and no new sites.

Progression-free survival (PFS) will be summarized using the Kaplan-Meier method. PFS was defined as the time from the start of treatment until lymphoma progression or death as a result of any cause. Progression was defined by The International Harmonization Project for Response Criteria as any new lesion or increase by ≥50% of previously involved sites from nadir.
