简要总结
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. It is not yet known whether giving rituximab over a short period of time is more effective than giving it over a long period of time in treating follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying rituximab to see how well it works when given over a short period of time compared to when given over a long period of time in treating patients with follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Compare the efficacy of induction therapy with rituximab followed by short- vs long-term maintenance therapy with rituximab, in terms of event-free survival, in patients with follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Secondary
- Compare the safety of these regimens in these patients.
- Compare the pharmaeconomical aspects of these regimens in these patients.
- Compare the evolution of immunologic competence in patients treated with these regimens.

入选标准
- •DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
- •Histologically confirmed follicular lymphoma
- •Grade 1, 2, 3a, or 3b disease by WHO staging system
- •CD20-positive by immunohistochemistry
- •Previously untreated disease OR meets 1 of the following criteria for response to prior treatment:
- •Chemotherapy-resistant disease
- •Relapsed or progressive disease
- •Stable disease
- •At least 12 weeks since prior systemic treatment
- •At least 1 bidimensionally measurable lesion ≥ 11 mm by CT scan or MRI
- •No transformation to high-grade lymphoma secondary to low-grade follicular lymphoma
- •No prior or current CNS disease (i.e., CNS lymphoma or lymphomatous meningosis) NOTE: A new classification scheme for adult non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has been adopted by PDQ. The terminology of "indolent" or "aggressive" lymphoma will replace the former terminology of "low", "intermediate", or "high" grade lymphoma. However, this protocol uses the former terminology.
