Conditions

Marginal Zone Lymphoma(MZL)

Brief summary

This is a multicenter, phase 2, randomized trial to compare rituximab maintenance with observation after rituximab and lenalidomide (R2) induction therapy in patients with previously untreated marginal zone lymphoma. Patients who achieve complete response or partial response after R2 induction will be randomized to receive rituximab maintenance or observation.

Interventions

OTHERObservation

Patients will receive R2 induction therapy consisting of rituximab and lenalidomide. Patients who achieve complete response or partial response after induction will undergo observation without maintenance anti-lymphoma therapy.

DRUGRituximab

Patients will receive R2 induction therapy consisting of rituximab and lenalidomide. Patients who achieve complete response or partial response after induction will receive rituximab maintenance every 8 weeks for up to 2 years.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
2-year progression-free survival rateAt 2 years after randomizationThe 2-year progression-free survival rate is defined as the proportion of patients who are alive without disease progression at 2 years after randomization.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Complete response rateUp to 24 months after randomizationComplete response rate is defined as the proportion of patients who achieve complete response according to the Lugano 2014 criteria during the maintenance or observation period.
Overall response rateUp to 24 months after randomizationOverall response rate is defined as the proportion of patients who achieve complete response or partial response according to the Lugano 2014 criteria during the maintenance or observation period.
Duration of responseUp to 24 months after randomizationDuration of response is defined as the time from the first documented complete response or partial response to disease progression, relapse, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
Overall survivalUp to 24 months after randomizationOverall survival is defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause.
Event-free survivalUp to 24 months after randomizationEvent-free survival is defined as the time from randomization to disease progression, relapse, initiation of new systemic anti-lymphoma therapy, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
Disease-free survivalUp to 24 months after randomizationDisease-free survival is defined as the time from the first documented complete response to disease relapse, progression, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
Incidence of progression of disease within 24 monthsWithin 24 months from the start of induction therapyPOD24 is defined as the proportion of patients who experience disease progression, relapse, or death from any cause within 24 months from the start of frontline induction therapy.
Patient-reported outcomesUp to 24 months after randomizationPatient-reported outcomes will be assessed using the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire.
Incidence of adverse events and serious adverse eventsUp to 30 days after the last study treatment or during follow-up as clinically indicatedThe incidence and severity of adverse events and serious adverse events will be assessed according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0.
