Brief Title: Lenalidomide in Combination With Rituximab in Treating Participants With Stage III/IV Indolent Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
Official Title: A Phase II Study of Revlimid in Combination With Rituximab as Initial Treatment for Patients With Indolent Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL)
Study ID: NCT00695786
Brief Summary: This phase II trial studies how well lenalidomide works in combination with rituximab in treating participants with stage III-IV non-Hodgkin lymphoma that is growing slowly. Lenalidomide is designed to change the body's immune system. It may also interfere with the development of tiny blood vessels that help support tumor growth, which may prevent the growth of cancer cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving lenalidomide and rituximab may work better in participants with indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the overall response rate of lenalidomide in combination with rituximab in previously untreated indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the toxicity of lenalidomide in combination with rituximab in previously untreated indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. OUTLINE: Participants are assigned to 1 of 2 drug schedules. SCHEDULE A: Participants receive lenalidomide orally (PO) on days 1-21 and rituximab intravenously (IV) over 4-8 hours on day 1 of courses 1-12. Courses repeat every 28 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. SCHEDULE B: Participants receive lenalidomide PO on days 2-22 and rituximab IV over 4-8 hours on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of course 1 and on day 1 of all subsequent courses. Courses repeat every 28 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up every 6 months.
