Current Primary Outcome MeasuresComplete Response (CR) Rate [Time Frame: 6 cycles] [Designated as safety issue: No]Complete response was evaluated by an Independent Radiology Review Committee using available computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) scans collected at Baseline, end of cycle 3, and end of cycle 6 (or end of treatment) based on the Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma.
Complete disappearance of all detectable clinical evidence of disease and disease-related symptoms if present before therapy.
PET scan was negative.
The spleen and/or liver, if enlarged before therapy on the basis of physical examination or CT scan, was not palpable on physical examination and was considered normal size by imaging studies; all splenic and hepatic nodules related to lymphomas disappeared.
If bone marrow was involved before treatment, the infiltrate cleared on repeated bone marrow biopsy.
No new sites of disease were detected.
Current Secondary Outcome Measures
  • Overall Response Rate [Time Frame: 6 cycles] [Designated as safety issue: No]Overall response = Complete Response (CR) + Partial Response (PR) Response was evaluated by an Independent Radiology Review Committee using available computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) scans collected at Baseline, end of cycle 3, and end of cycle 6 (or end of treatment) based on the Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma.
    Complete Response: see primary endpoint Partial Response: At least a 50% decrease in the sum of the product of the diameters (SPD) of up to 6 of the largest dominant nodes or nodal masses.
  • Rate of Durable Response [Time Frame: Median follow up approx. 12 months] [Designated as safety issue: No]Proportion of subjects who achieved a CR or PR with duration of at least 6 months. Duration of response (CR or PR) was calculated from the date of initial documentation of a response to the date of first documented evidence of disease progression or death due to disease progression. Response was evaluated by an Independent Radiology Review Committee using available computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) scans collected at Baseline, end of cycle 3, end of cycle 6 (or end of treatment) based on the Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma.
  • Rate of Durable Complete Response [Time Frame: Median follow up approx 12 months] [Designated as safety issue: No]Proportion of subjects who achieved a CR with duration of at least 6 months
  • Subsequent Anti-lymphoma Therapy Rate at 1-year [Time Frame: 1 year] [Designated as safety issue: No]Kaplan-meier estimate of subsequent anti-lymphoma therapy at 1-year. Time to subsequent anti-lymphoma therapy was measured from the date of randomization to the start date of new treatment. Death due to disease progression prior to subsequent therapy was considered as an event. Otherwise, time to next anti-lymphoma treatment was censored at the date of death or the last date known to be alive.
  • Progression-free Survival (PFS)Rate at 1-year [Time Frame: 1 year] [Designated as safety issue: No]Kaplan-meier estimate of progression-free survival at 1-year. Progression-free survival was defined as the interval between the date of randomization and the date of first documented evidence of disease progression or death.
  • Overall Survival Rate at 1-year [Time Frame: 1 year] [Designated as safety issue: No]Kaplan-meier estimate of overall survival at 1-year measured from date of randomization.
  • Change in Fatigue and Patient Utility Scores [Time Frame: 18-24 months] [Designated as safety issue: No]
