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 The "RELEVANCE" Trial (Rituximab Lenalidomide Versus ANy ChEmotherapy)is Being Conducted as Two Companion Studies: RV-FOL-GELARC-0683 (N=750) and RV-FOL-GELARC-0683C (N=250); the Combined Total of 1000 Patients Enrolled in Both Studies Will be Analyzed.

Overview
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.

Arms & Interventions
Lenalidomide + Rituximab
- Lenalidomide dose 20-mg on days 2-22 every 28 days x 6 cycles, if CR then 10-mg on days 2-22 every 28 days for 12 cycles. PR after 6 cycles, continue 20 mg for 3~6 cycles and then 10 mg on days 2-22 every 28-day cycles for upto 18 cycles
- Rituximab, 375 mg/m2 on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of cycle 1, day 1 of cycles 2 to 6; 8 weeks later responding patients continue with 375 mg/m2 rituximab every 8 weeks for 12 cycles.
Intervention: Rituximab (Drug)
Lenalidomide + Rituximab
- Lenalidomide dose 20-mg on days 2-22 every 28 days x 6 cycles, if CR then 10-mg on days 2-22 every 28 days for 12 cycles. PR after 6 cycles, continue 20 mg for 3~6 cycles and then 10 mg on days 2-22 every 28-day cycles for upto 18 cycles
- Rituximab, 375 mg/m2 on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of cycle 1, day 1 of cycles 2 to 6; 8 weeks later responding patients continue with 375 mg/m2 rituximab every 8 weeks for 12 cycles.
Intervention: Lenalidomide (Drug)
Control
• ONE of the following: Rituximab - CHOP, Rituximab - CVP, Rituximab - Bendamustine. 7 to 8 weeks later responding patients will continue with 375 mg/m2 rituximab every 8 weeks for 12 cycles.
Intervention: Rituximab - CHOP (Drug)
Control
• ONE of the following: Rituximab - CHOP, Rituximab - CVP, Rituximab - Bendamustine. 7 to 8 weeks later responding patients will continue with 375 mg/m2 rituximab every 8 weeks for 12 cycles.
Intervention: Rituximab - CVP (Drug)
Control
• ONE of the following: Rituximab - CHOP, Rituximab - CVP, Rituximab - Bendamustine. 7 to 8 weeks later responding patients will continue with 375 mg/m2 rituximab every 8 weeks for 12 cycles.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: 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 RATE
Time Frame: Timeframe: 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 Outcomes
- Overall Survival (OS)(up to13 years)
- Time to Next Chemotherapy Treatment (TTNCT)(up to13 years)
- Overall response rate at 120 weeks by International Working Group (IWG) 1999 criteria(up to13 years)
- Number of participants with adverse events(up to13 years)
