Phase II Study of Gemcitabine in Patients With Advanced Stage Marginal Zone B-Cell Lymphoma


We designed a multi-center phase II trial of gemcitabine for advanced stage marginal zone
B-cell lymphoma. Marginal zone lymphoma needs novel agent to improve clinical course by
chemotherapy. Recent trials with new agents for indolent lymphoma shows promising results.
Gemcitabine is known to have activity to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and has less adverse effects
than other new agents. With this background gemcitabine will be tried as a single agent for
advanced marginal zone lymphoma.

Gemcitabine will be administered with 1,250mg/sq.m on days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks. Response
will be assessed by IWC criteria.
