Scientific Title
ALLG NHL26
A Phase 2 Study of patients treated for relapsed Follicular Lymphoma: with Revlimid (Registered Trademark) consolidation added to Rituximab maintenance therapy in those remaining Positron Emission Tomography (PET) positive
Cooperative Group
Australasian Leukaemia and Lymphoma Group (ALLG)
Summary
The prognosis for patients with FL has significantly improved during the last decade with the incorporation of Rituximab into therapy. Rituximab maintenance has become a standard of care after initial rituximab-chemotherapy for remission induction.
Lenalidomide is an immune system modulating drug that has anti-lymphoma properties demonstrated in smaller studies of patients with relapsed/refractory Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
Lenalidomide consolidation added to Rituximab maintenance therapy may convert PET+ patients to PET-, without causing unmanageable side effects.
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging tool that can detect cancer in its early stages, help to monitor cancer treatment and check if the cancer is coming back.
