RELEVANCE: Combined Rituximab and Lenalidomide Treatment for Untreated Patients With Follicular Lymphoma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the combined treatment of lenalidomide and rituximab in controlling the Follicular Lymphoma disease and also increase the length of response compared to the available standard combination chemotherapy treatment for Follicular Lymphoma.

Detailed Description
Follicular Lymphoma (FL) is a cancer of a B lymphocyte, a type of white blood cell. FL is typically a slowly progressing but incurable disease. Follicular lymphoma cells produce a specific defect in the patient's immune system impairing their ability to control their cancer. Lenalidomide has been shown to reverse the specific immune defect caused by FL in the patient. By including lenalidomide, the RELEVANCE study aims to eliminate the cancer while restoring the patient's immune competence.
The 'Relevance' cooperative group trial is being conducted as two companion studies:
RV-FOL-GELARC-0683 (N=750) and RV-FOL-GELARC-0683C (N=250); the combined total of 1000 Follicular Lymphoma patients enrolled in both studies will be analyzed.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Complete Response Rate (CR/CRu) at 120 weeks [Up to approximately 2.5 years]
The tumor response data will be assessed by the IRC using the IWG (Cheson, 1999) criteria. Based on the CT/MRI schedule, any assessments in a time window of 120 weeks ± 4 weeks are qualified as the 120 week assessments.
- Progression free survival (PFS)Follicular lymphoma [Up to 12 years]
Is defined as the time from randomization into the study to the first observation of documented disease progression or death due to any cause.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Number of participants with adverse events [Up to 13 years]
- Time to Treatment Failure (TTF)Follicular Lymphoma [Up to 13 years]
Time to Treatment Failure (TTF)Follicular Lymphoma
- Number of Participants who Survive without an Event(s) [Up to 13 years]
Event Free Survival (EFS)Follicular Lymphoma
- Time to Next Anti-Lymphoma Treatment (TTNLT) for Follicular Lymphoma [Up to 12 years]
TTNLT will be measured from the date of randomization to the date of first documented administration of any new anti-lymphoma treatment (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, radio immunotherapy, immunotherapy). Patients continuing in response or who are lost to follow-up will be censored on their last visit date. Patients who died (due to any cause) before having received a new anti-lymphoma
- Time to Next Chemotherapy Treatment (TTNCT) for Follicular Lymphoma [Up to 13 years]
Time to Next Chemotherapy Treatment (TTNCT) for Follicular Lymphoma
- Number of participants alive or dead [Up to 13 years]
- Overall response by International Working Group (IWG) 1999 criteria [Up to 120 weeks]
- Health related quality of life as measured by the EORTC QLQ-C30 for Follicular Lymphoma patients [Up to 13 years]
Health related quality of life as measured by the EORTC QLQ-C30 for Follicular Lymphoma patients
- Event-Free Survival (EFS) [Up to 12 years]
EFS will be measured from the date of randomization to the date of first documented progression, relapse, and initiation of a new anti-lymphoma treatment or death by any cause. Responding patients and patients who are lost to follow up will be censored at their last tumor assessment date.
- Overall Survival (OS) [up to 12 years]
Will be measured from date of randomization to the date of death
- Complete Response Rate (CR/CRu) at 120 weeks [Up to approximately 2.5 years]
The tumor response data will be assessed by the IRC using the IWG (Cheson, 1999) criteria. Based on the CT/MRI schedule, any assessments in a time window of 120 weeks ± 4 weeks are qualified as the 120 week assessments.
