A Study of Rituximab (MabThera) Subcutaneous (SC) Versus Rituximab (MabThera) Intravenous in Participannts With Follicular Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01200758
Lead Sponsor
Hoffmann-La Roche
Brief Summary

This two-stage, multi-center, randomized, controlled, open-label study will investigate the pharmacokinetics, efficacy and safety of rituximab SC versus rituximab IV in participants with previously untreated follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Participants will be randomized to receive 375 milligrams per meter square (mg/m\^2) rituximab as IV infusion or 1400 milligrams (mg) rituximab SC. In addition, participants will receive standard chemotherapy. Participants who achieved a complete or partial response (PR) after 8 treatment cycles, will receive maintenance treatment for a further maximum number of 12 cycles. Maintenance treatment cycles will be repeated every 8 weeks. This is a two-stage study. Stage 1 was designed to confirm the chosen rituximab SC dose resulting in comparable rituximab serum Ctrough levels compared with rituximab IV, when given as part of induction treatment every 3 weeks. Enrollment for Stage 2 started after the rituximab SC dose was established in Stage 1. Stage 2 aimed to further investigate the efficacy and safety of rituximab SC compared with rituximab IV. The anticipated time on study treatment is 96 weeks.

All investigator physicians and nurses involved in this study were asked to complete question i.e. "Which formulation of rituximab (SC or IV) do you think is more convenient?" based on their experience with the rituximab SC and IV formulations across all participants and presented as rituximab SC is much more convenient; rituximab SC is a little more convenient; both formulations are equally convenient; rituximab IV is a little more convenient; and rituximab IV is much more convenient.
