A Phase II Study of Bortezomib in Combination With Rituximab, Fludarabine, Mitoxantrone, and Dexamethasone (VR-FND) for Relapsed or Refractory Follicular Lymphoma


This is a phase II study using the combination of bortezomib, rituximab, fludarabine,
mitoxantrone and dexamethasone. The combination will given over a 28 day cycle. In addition

All patients who receive at least one dose of the drug will be evaluated for toxicity.
Patients will be treated with the agent for at least 2 cycles to be considered eligible for
evaluation of response. The chemotherapy dosing will continue until there is evidence of
disease progression, a second recurrence of unacceptable toxicity, or a maximum of 8 courses
of therapy.
