Patients must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be eligible for enrollment into the study:
1. Male or female patients aged 18 years or older.
2. Histologically confirmed, Grade 1-3a, untreated, CD20-positive follicular lymphoma (containing no elements of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma).
NOTE: Patients can be entered based on a diagnosis of CD20+ follicular lymphoma confirmed at the investigational site. Archival tissue must be sent to the central pathology reviewer for confirmation of diagnosis. Patients must have tissue available for the central pathology review to be enrolled.
3. Ann Arbor Stage II, III, or IV.
4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) status of 0 to 1.
5. At least 1 measureable disease lesion of at least 1.5 cm in longest diameter.
6.Patient has low tumor burden FL defined as:
a. Serum LDH within normal limits.
b. ß2-microglobulin =1.5 upper limit of normal.
c. Largest nodal or extra-nodal mass <7 cm in diameter.
d. No more than 3 nodal sites with a diameter >3 cm.
e. No significant serous effusions detectible clinically or on chest radiography.
f. Spleen enlargement =16 cm by CT scan.
g. No complications such as organ compression or impairment.
h. No B symptoms:
• fever >38?C for 3 consecutive days;
• recurrent, drenching night sweats;
• Unintentional weight loss exceeding 10% body weight in 6 months.
NOTE: Patients with mild FL symptoms may be enrolled in the study as long as they do not meet the criteria for B symptoms.
7. Men and women of childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception throughout the study and for 12 months after the last dose of assigned treatment. A man or woman is of childbearing potential if, in the opinion of the investigator, he or she is biologically capable of having children and is sexually active.
8. Evidence of a personally signed and dated informed consent document indicating that the patient has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study.
9. Patients who are willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other study procedures.
Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 157
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 237
Patients presenting with any of the following will not be included in the study:
1. Patients who are not candidates for rituximab monotherapy in the opinion of the investigator.
2. Evidence of histologic transformation to high-grade or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
3. Central nervous system or meningeal involvement or cord compression by the lymphoma.
4. T-cell lymphoma.
5. Subjects with = 5000/mm3 circulating lymphoma cells
6. Any prior therapy for lymphoma, including steroids. (Low dose [10 mg oral prednisone or equivalent] or inhaled steroids for other conditions are acceptable).
7. Any prior treatment with rituximab.
8. Hypersensitivity to the active substances or to any of the excipients in rituximab-Pfizer or rituximab-EU.
9. Hypersensitivity to murine proteins.
10.Impaired bone marrow function as evidenced by hemoglobin < 9.0 g/dL, absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 1.5 x 10x9 cells/L (1500/mm3) or a platelet count <75 x 10x9cells/L (75,000/mm3).
11. Symptomatic ischemic heart disease or NYHA Class II, III, or IV congestive heart failure.
12. Active infection with tuberculosis (TB). Patients with evidence of latent TB or a history of TB must have completed treatment or have initiated treatment for at least 1 month before the first dose of study treatment (Day 1). TB testing is required only if it is required by local regulations or practice.
13. Current or chronic hepatitis B or C infection as evidenced by hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb), or anti-hepatitis C antibody positivity, respectively, or known seropositivity for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). (Patients with active hepatitis B disease should not be treated with MabThera. Patients with positive hepatitis B serology [either HBsAg or HBcAb] should consult liver disease experts before start of treatment and should be monitored and managed following local medical standards to prevent hepatitis B reactivation).
14. Any other active uncontrolled infection. Patients with an infection must have initiated a course of treatment with an effective antibiotic a minimum of 7 days before the first dose of study treatment (Day 1) and be free of symptoms from the infection.
15. Any history of other cancer during the last 5 years with the exception of those patients treated with curative intent with no evidence of metastatic disease or history of non-melanoma skin tumors, in situ cervical carcinoma, or in situ breast cancer.
16. Administration of a live vaccine = 6 weeks before first dose of study treatment (Day 1).
17. Major surgery =28 days before first dose of study treatment.
18. Anticipated need for concomitant administration of any other experimental drug, or a concomitant chemotherapy, anticancer hormonal therapy, radiotherapy, or immunotherapy during study participation.
19. Participation in other studies involving investigational drug(s) (Phases 1-4) within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, before the current study begins and/or during study participation.
20. Any other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study.
21. Patients who are investigational site staff members directly involved in the c
