Multicenter Randomized Trial of Chlorambucil Versus Chlorambucil Plus Rituximab Versus Rituximab in Extranodal Marginal Zone B-cell Lymphoma of Mucosa Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT Lymphoma)
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating chlorambucil (drug), rituximab+chlorambucil, and 1 other intervention for Lymphoma, Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue. Completed, enrolled 454 participants across 75 sites in 6 countries.
Detailed Summary
Assess the therapeutic activity and safety of the combination of Chlorambucil and Rituximab in MALT lymphomas and determine whether the addition of Rituximab to Chlorambucil will improve the outcome of MALT lymphoma in comparison to treatment with Chlorambucil alone. In April 2006, a third arm of treatment was added to compare the antitumor activity and safety of rituximab alone vs chlorambucil alone
