  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants With Modalities of the Therapeutic Decision Before First Study Induction Treatment Phase [Baseline]

      At study inclusion, the therapeutic management of participants was decided by either "pluri-disciplinary consultation meeting," "Only the physician in charge of the participant," "Discussion between physicians," or "Punctual consultation of an external physician." Percentage of participants with each of these modalities of therapeutic decision was reported.

    2. Percentage of Participants With Treatments Prescribed Over the First Study Induction Phase [Induction Phase: 18.7 months]

      Over the first treatment induction period, participants received following therapies for the treatment of refractory/relapsed follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: chemotherapy combined with MabThera, chemotherapy alone, MabThera monotherapy, and stem cell transplantation, radio-immunotherapy, or radiation therapy combined with any other treatment. Study induction treatment phase consists total of three visits (one before the first cycle, one halfway through therapy and one after the last cycle to evaluate response). Induction treatment duration ranged between <3 months to >6 months. Each participants may received more than one therapy.

    3. Percentage of Participants With Chemotherapies Prescribed Over the First Study Induction Phase [Induction Phase: 18.7 months]

      Over the first study induction phase, participants received the following chemotherapy: regimen including fludarabine; regimen including aracytine - platinum salts; cyclophosphamide/hydroxydaunorubicin/oncovin/prednisone (CHOP-like); cyclophosphamide/vincristine/prednisone (CVP); regimen including ifosfamide - etoposide; and other chemotherapy. One participant could receive more than one type of chemotherapy over the first treatment induction period.

    4. Percentage of Participants With MabThera as Maintenance Therapy [Maintenance/observation Phase: 67.8 months]

      During the maintenance period participants received four weekly infusion of MabThera.

    5. Percentage of Participants With MabThera Maintenance Therapy and at Least One Observation Phase [Maintenance/observation Phase: 67.8 months]

      After study induction period (three visits) participants entered into either of two periods: 1. period of maintenance with MabThera followed by observation or 2. period of observation/maintenance without MabThera, followed by maintenance with MabThera.

    6. Duration of MabThera Maintenance Therapy When Associated With Observation [Maintenance/observation Phase: 67.8 months]

      Duration of MabThera maintenance therapy was calculated from the end of induction period to the day before the first disease progression over the study (or to the date of last participant information if no disease progression until the end of the participant follow-up). Disease progression was based on the followings: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status; presence of B symptoms (fever 38°C in absence of infection for more than 8 days, night sweats, weight loss exceeding 10% in 6 months); evaluation of tumor mass (Groupe d'Etudes des Lymphomes Folliculaires criteria); number of nodal sites; number and location of extranodal sites; Ann-Arbor stage (I to IV); any histological documentation: type of biopsy (nodal, extranodal, bone marrow); histological type (progression of follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphomas or transformation); latest available hemoglobin, neutrophils, normal or leukemic lymphocytes, platelets, lactate dehydrogenase, and total gamma globulins level.

    7. Percentage of Participants With Prescription of Injection Prophylaxis [Maintenance/observation Phase: 67.8 months]

      Participants was prescribed with either of the following infection prophylaxis treatment: anti-pneumocystosis agents, antiviral agents, or immunoglobulins.

    8. Percentage of Participants With Injection Prophylaxis Treatment [Maintenance/observation Phase: 67.8 months]

      Participants received anti-pneumocystosis agents, antiviral agents, or immunoglobulins as infection prophylaxis. One participant could receive more than one infection prophylaxis treatment.

    9. Percentage of Participants With Modalities of the Therapeutic Decision at First Study Disease Progression [Up to 6 years]

      The therapeutic management of participants was decided by either "pluri-disciplinary consultation meeting," "Only the physician in charge of the participant," "Discussion between physicians," or "Punctual consultation of an external physician." Percentage of participants with each of these modalities of therapeutic decision was reported.

    10. Number of Participants With Therapeutic Management After the First Study Disease Progression [Up to 6 years]

      After the first disease progression the participants received chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radio immunotherapy, stem cell transplantation, or radiation therapy for therapeutic management of the refractory/relapsed follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. One participant could receive more than one type of treatment after the first study disease progression.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants With Last Induction Treatment Response [Induction Phase: 18.7 months]

      Last Induction treatment response: the last response assessment over the first study induction treatment (complete response [CR]: complete disappearance of all detectable clinical and radiographic evidence of disease and disappearance of all disease-related symptoms if present before therapy; CR unconfirmed: CR along with regression in lymph node mass by more than [>]75% in the sum of the products of greatest diameters [SPD]; Partial Response [PR]: greater than or equal to [>=] 50% decrease in SPD of 6 largest dominant nodes or nodal masses; Progression was 1 of the following: 1) lymphadenopathy; 2) a >=50% increase in previously noted or new appearance of hepato/splenomegaly; 3) >=50% increase in blood lymphocyte count with at least 5000 B lymphocytes/μL; 4) transformation to Richter's syndrome; or 5) occurrence of cytopenia; Stable disease [SD]: absence of necessary criteria to achieve CR or PR, but no advancement to progression) was described at the end of first study induction.

    2. Percentage of Participants With Number of Disease Progressions [Up to 6 years]

      Participants with at least one disease progression after the first study induction period were reported.

    3. Percentage of Participants With Disease Characteristics at First Study Disease Progression [Up to 6 years]

      Disease characteristics included (tumor burden, measured from whole body computed tomography (CT) scan. Groupe d'Etudes des Lymphomes Folliculaires (GELF) criteria defined as parameters to initiate treatment in participants with untreated follicular lymphoma, grade 1,2,or 3A; having just one of the criteria justified treatment: 1. involvement of >=3 nodal sites, each with diameter of >=3 centimeter(cm); 2. any nodal/extranodal tumor mass with diameter of >=7cm; 3. B symptoms (temperature >=38 degrees celsius or night sweats or weight loss >10% over past 6 months); 4. splenomegaly; 5. pleural effusion/peritoneal ascites; 6. cytopenia (leukocytes <1×10^9 and/or platelets <100×10^9/L. One participant could present with more than 1 GELF criterion. Ann Arbor staging was used as staging system for lymphomas (Stage I to IV); stage depended upon the place where malignant tissue was located (through biopsy, CT scan, or positron emission tomography) and on systemic symptoms due to lymphoma).

    4. Progression Free Survival (PFS) [Up to 6 years]

      The PFS was defined as the time from the date of first induction treatment over the study (first treatment administration of first cycle) to the date of first disease progression or participants death or date of lymphoma transformation diagnosis.

    5. Time to Next Treatment [Up to 6 years]

      Time to next treatment was calculated from the date of the end of first induction treatment administration over the study to the date of the start of next treatment after disease progression.

    6. Overall Survival (OS) [Up to 6 years]

      The overall survival was defined as the time from the date of first induction treatment administration over the study to the date of participants' death or early study withdrawal. OS was calculated using Kaplan-Meier method.

    7. Number of Participants Who Used MabThera [Up to Induction phase (18.7 months), Maintenance phase/observation phase (67.8 months)]

    8. MabThera Regimen: Dose of MabThera [Up to Induction phase (18.7 months), Maintenance phase/observation phase (67.8 months)]

    12. Percentage of Participants With Discontinuations and Modifications of MabThera During Maintenance Phase [Maintenance phase : 67.8 months]

    13. Function Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-General (FACT-G) With Lymphoma-Specific Additional Concerns Subscale (Lym) Total Score [Up to 6 years (assessed at start, mid and end of induction [induction: 18.7 months], at each infusion during maintenance [maintenance phase: 67.8 months], and at disease progression [maximum up to 6 years])]

      The FACT-G with Lymphoma-Specific Additional Concerns Subscale (Lym) total score was calculated by adding the score obtained on the FACT-G (physical well-being, scored 0-28; social well-being, scored 0-28; functional well-being, scored 0-28; emotional well-being, scored 0-24), to the score obtained on the LYM subscale (15 items; responses to each item range from 0, "Not at all" to 4, "Very much"). Total score ranges from 0 to 168. Higher scores indicated a better participant-reported outcome/quality of life over the past week when responding to the items.

    14. Number and Type of Hospitalization Associated With MabThera Perfusion [Up to 6 years]

      Number and type of hospitalization (a day hospitalization, short-lasting hospitalization, and short-stay hospitalization) was reported.
