Overview
Brief Summary
This study is an open label, randomized, multiple-dose, parallel study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous infusion of Rituximab Test product (Hetero) and Reference product in two clinical subtypes of Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (DLBCL & follicular) given along with CHOP chemotherapy. The primary objective is to compare the antitumor efficacy of Hetero-Rituximab with Reference Medicinal Product (Rituximab, Roche). The secondary objectives are to evaluate safety of the patients, compare the immunogenic potentials from baseline to the end of 3rd & 6thcycles of chemotherapy, to evaluate the pharmacokinetic characteristics at 1st & 6th cycles of chemotherapy, and compare the pharmacodynamics from baseline to the end of 3rd & 6th cycles of chemotherapy, between two formulations of Rituximab (test and reference).
