Rituximab and Involved Field Radiotherapy in Early Stage Follicular Lymphoma

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Lymphoma, Malignant
Registration Number
NCT00509184
Lead Sponsor
Klaus Herfarth, MD
Brief Summary

Combination of involved field radiotherapy for the control of macroscopic disease and CD20 antibody Rituximab for the control of microscopic remainders in other regions in patients with early stage nodal follicular lymphoma /grade I or II). Evaluation of DFSl and toxicity.

Detailed Description

The MIR (Mabthera(R) and Involved field Radiation) study is a prospective multicenter trial combining systemic treatment with the anti CD20 antibody Rituximab (Mabthera(R)) in combination with involved field radiotherapy (30 - 40 Gy). This trial aims at testing the combination's efficacy and safety with an accrual of 85 patients.Primary endpoint of the study is progression free survival. Secondary endpoints are response rate to Rituximab, complete remission rate at week 18, relapse rate, relapse pattern, relapse free survival, overall survival, toxicity and quality of life.
