Official Title: Phase II Trial Ofatumumab for Initial Systemic Treatment of Indolent B-cell Lymphoma
Study ID: NCT01239394
Brief Summary: Ofatumumab is a drug that works by attaching to the CD20 molecule found on the surface of cancerous B cells, and then triggering the death of those cells. It is approved by the FDA for treatment of another B-cell cancer, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and also has evidence of success in people who's B-cell lymphomas have relapsed after initial treatments. In this research study we are looking to see if ofatumumab is effective and safe in treating previously untreated B-cell NHL.
Detailed Description: * Participants will receive ofatumumab once a week for 8 weeks by intravenous infusion (Days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 36, 43, and 50). * Participants will be seen weekly during the 8 week treatment period and will have the following tests and procedures performed: Blood tests, performance status and physical examination.
