Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Remaining Failure-Free After 2 Years From Treatment Start DateMonth 28

Percentage of participants who at 2 years from the start of treatment remained free from documented disease progression, relapse, or death. Failure status was based on tumor evaluation performed on Month 28. Participants who did not have a tumor evaluation at Month 28 were counted as failures.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Achieving a Best Overall Response of CR, CRu, or PR by Study PhaseBaseline, Months 4, 7 (Induction Phase), 11, 16 (Maintenance Phase),22, 28, 34, and 40(Follow-Up Phase)

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.

Failure-Free Survival (FFS), Percentage of Participants Estimated to be Free of Documented Disease Progression, Relapse, or DeathBaseline, Months 1-8, 10-12, 14, 16, 22, 28, 34 and 40

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.

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 who dropped out due to AEs were censored at their last assessment date.

FFS - Time to EventBaseline, Months 1-8, 10-12, 14, 16, 22, 28, 34 and 40

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 AEs were censored at their last assessment 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.

Overall Survival (OS) - Percentage of Participants Estimated to be AliveBaseline, Months 1-8, 10-12, 14, 16, 22, 28, 34 and 40

OS data were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. OS was defined as the time from first dosage of study drug to the date of death from any cause. Reported data refer to values up to 40 months.

DFS was defined for all patients 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.
