| Lymphoma Hodgkin Lymphoma (Category) Nodular Lymphocyte Predominant Hodgkin Lymphoma | Drug: Rituximab | Phase 2 |
This study will evaluate the partial, complete, and overall response rates to rituximab of subjects with lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin's lymphoma. Subjects will receive rituximab by IV infusion over several hours once a week for 4 weeks, followed by maintenance therapy as repeat course of the same dose and schedule rituximab at 6, 12, and 18 months.
This was a single-arm study with multiple treatment periods added by amendment (ie, Secondary Group), with results reported by treatment period. As this was always considered a single-arm study, there was no intent to report the results for the initial treatment period separately as the Initial Group vs the Secondary Group.

Experimental: Rituximab 375 mg/m2 per week
375 mg/m2 rituximab by IV infusion weekly. The initial course of treatment is 4 weeks. Subjects who achieve an objective response or stable disease after the initial course (4 weeks) were permitted to continue additional 4-week cycles of treatment, for 3 additional courses starting every 6 months (ie, at 6; 12; and 18 months). |
Drug: Rituximab
Rituximab (biosimilar is Zytux) is a chimeric monoclonal antibody against the protein CD20, which is primarily found on the surface of immune system B-cells. Rituximab destroys B-cells and is therefore used to treat diseases which are characterized by excessive numbers of B-cells, overactive B-cells, or dysfunctional B-cells. This includes many lymphomas, leukemias, transplant rejection, and autoimmune disorders.
Other Names:
|
- Progression-free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: 5 years ]PFS, assessed as the number of patients 5 years after treatment who are alive and without a ≥ 50% increase from nadir in the sum of the product of the greatest lesion diameters (SPD) of any previously-identified abnormal node, or appearance of any new lesion
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: 5 years ]OS, assessed as the number of patients 5 years after treatment who are alive
- Overall Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]
Overall response as assessed as Complete Response (CR) + Partial Response (PR)
- CR was determined as complete metabolic response (CMR), meaning complete resolution of 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake within the tumor volume so that it is indistinguishable from surrounding normal tissue.
- PR was determined as partial metabolic response (PMR), meaning reduction of greater than 25% in the standardized uptake value (SUV) adjusted for body surface area (SUV-BSA). A reduction in the extent of tumor FDG uptake is not required for PMR.
