Trial Outcomes & Findings for Rituximab With or Without Yttrium Y-90 Ibritumomab Tiuxetan in Treating Patients With Untreated Follicular Lymphoma (NCT NCT02320292)

NCT ID: NCT02320292

Last Updated: 2025-07-09

Results Overview

Will be compared between the two arms. The percentage of patients in each response category (e.g., CR, partial remission, stable disease, relapse/progressive disease) will also be tabulated by arm. The proportion of patients who have a CR at 6 months will be evaluated and compared between the two treatment regimens using a two-sided alpha=0.05 continuity corrected Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test with stratification factors.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Will be compared between the two arms. The percentage of patients in each response category (e.g., CR, partial remission, stable disease, relapse/progressive disease) will also be tabulated by arm. The proportion of patients who have a CR at 6 months will be evaluated and compared between the two treatment regimens using a two-sided alpha=0.05 continuity corrected Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test with stratification factors.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Time from registration to the earliest date documentation of disease progression or death due to any cause, assessed up to 5 years

The distribution of progression-free survival time will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier within each arm and compared between the arms using a logrank test. The progression-free survival rates at 3 years and 5 years will be estimated in each arm.

Timeframe: Up to 5 years

Assessed using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0. The maximum grade for each type of adverse event will be recorded for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine patterns. Additionally, the relationship of the adverse event(s) to the study treatment will be taken into consideration. Rates of individual adverse events (grade 3 and higher) will be compared between arms using a Fisher's exact test.

Timeframe: Baseline

Will be evaluated in each arm independently and may also be compared between the two arms. Values may be investigated with respect to response (CR vs. less than CR) chi-square tests. Relationship with time to event measures (PFS, TTNT, TTC) will be evaluated using Kaplan-Meier methods and log-rank statistics (categorical measures).

As assessed by Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT). Mean FACT will be graphically presented by arm using a mean plot with standard deviation error bars including all available data with patients according to the randomized treatment assignment. Baseline characteristics will be compared between arms within the subject of patients who provide QOL data at one or more time points using t-tests for continuous variables and chi-squared tests for categorical variables.
