A Phase 3 Open Label Randomized Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Rituximab Plus Lenalidomide (CC-5013) Versus Rituximab Plus Chemotherapy Followed by Rituximab in Subjects With Previously Untreated Follicular Lymphoma

Registration Number
NCT01650701
Lead Sponsor
The Lymphoma Academic Research Organisation
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out if lenalidomide when given along with rituximab can help to control the disease and also increase the length of your response (complete or partial response) compared to the standard of care rituximab chemotherapy treatment.

Detailed Description

Follicular Lymphoma (FL) is a cancer of a B lymphocyte, a type of white blood cell. FL is typically a slowly progressing but incurable disease. Follicular lymphoma cells produce a specific defect in the patient's immune system impairing their ability to control their cancer. Lenalidomide has been shown to reverse the specific immune defect caused by FL in the patient. By including lenalidomide, the RELEVANCE study aims to eliminate the cancer while restoring the patient's immune competence.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression Free Survival (PFS)up to 13 years

PFS is defined as the time from the start of study drug therapy to the 1st observation of disease progression or death due to any cause.

COMPLETE RESPONSE RATETimeframe: CR/CRu rate at 120 weeks

Complete response (CR/CRu) rate at 120 weeks Response evaluation was as defined by International Working Group (IWG) Response Criteria (Cheson 1999). Complete response (CR) is defined as the complete disappearance of all detectable clinical and radiographic evidence of disease and the disappearance of all disease-related symptoms if present before therapy.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Overall Survival (OS)up to13 years
Time to Next Chemotherapy Treatment (TTNCT)up to13 years
