Trial Information

Prospective Randomized Multicenter Study in First-line Treatment of Advanced progredIeNT Follicular And Other IndoleNt and Mantle Cell Lymphomas


Results from several randomised studies show a clinical benefit of a maintenance therapy
with rituximab in follicular lymphomas. The advantage of a maintenance therapy in other
indolent and mantle cell lymphomas is - due to the lower incidence of these diseases- not
well investigated.

This study tries to determine the significance of an extended maintenance therapy with
rituximab in follicular lymphomas and the significance of a maintenance therapy other
indolent and mantle cell lymphomas compared to observation.


Inclusion Criteria:
