| E.2 Objective of the trial |
| E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
| The primary objective of the study is to compare the efficacy of rituximab plus lenalidomide to rituximab plus chemotherapy followed by rituximab in patients with previously untreated follicular lymphoma. Efficacy determination will be based upon the co-primary endpoints of complete response (CR/CRu) rate at 120 weeks and PFS assessed by the IRC using the IWG (Cheson, 1999) criteria. |
|
| E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives of the study are:
To compare the efficacy of rituximab plus lenalidomide versus rituximab
plus chemotherapy followed by rituximab using other parameters of
efficacy:
o Complete Response (CR) at 120 weeks by IWG 1999, Event
Free Survival (EFS) by IWG 1999, Time to Next Anti-Lymphoma
Treatment (TTNLT), and Overall Survival (OS).
To compare the safety of rituximab plus lenalidomide versus rituximab
plus chemotherapy followed by rituximab |
|
| E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
| E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
The exploratory objectives of the study are:
• CR rate at 120 weeks, Overall Response Rate at 120 weeks by IWG 1999 Criteria and PFS by 2007 Revised Response Criteria for
Malignant Lymphoma incorporating FDG-PET (Cheson, 2007)
• Time to Treatment Failure (TTF)
• Time to Next Chemotherapy Treatment (TTNCT)
• Histological transformation rate at first progression
• To explore the relationship between lenalidomide exposure and
response (hematology, biomarkers, and other clinical outcomes as
appropriate).
• To compare the effects of rituximab plus lenalidomide versus
rituximab plus chemotherapy followed by rituximab on minimal residual
disease using PCR detection of the t(14;18) translocation in peripheral
blood or other MRD assays.
• To compare the effects of rituximab plus lenalidomide versus
rituximab plus chemotherapy followed by rituximab on immune
competence
• Evaluate Fc-gamma receptor polymorphisms in blood samples
collected pre-treatment and correlate with clinical outcomes
• To investigate potential predictive biomarkers of clinical response or
resistance to rituximab plus lenalidomide, including, but not limited to,
gene expression, analysis of acquired chromosomal aberrations
(translocations, gains, deletions, single nucleotide polymorphisms,
mutations), microRNA and protein expression in archival diagnostic or
fresh tumor samples
• Health related quality of life as measured by the EORTC QLQ-C30
To examine utility during the active, maintenance, and follow-up phases
using the EQ-5D for the purpose of collecting information on the
treatment regimens to support cost-effectiveness analyses and
modeling. |

| E.5 End points |
| E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
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 weeks assessments. If two of more assessments are performed in this time window, the assessment wtih the least favorable response will be used. PFS is an accepted endpoint of clinical benefit for previously untreated FL patient and was the basis for the recent approval of rituximab maintenance in this population ( Salles 2011). The disease progression status will be assessed by IRC using the IWG (cheson 1999) criteria.
PFS is defined as the time from randomization into the study to the first observation of documented disease progression or death due to any cause. If a subject has not progressed or died, PFS will be censored at the time of laste visit with adequate assessement. if a subject received other anti-cancer treatment for follicular lymphoma before progression, the CT/MRI assessments should continue as scheduled until disease progression or death which will be counted as events. |
|
| E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
(CR/CRu) rate at 120 weeks
- First interim analysis when the first 200 patients have their response
assessment done at 6 months
- Second interim analysis when the first 200 patients have their
response assessment done at 120 weeks
- Primary analysis will be performed when all randomized patients have
their response assessment done at 120 weeks
PFS:
- interim analysis at the time-point when the co-primary endpoint
CR/CRu rate at 120 weeks is reported, i.e. when all randomized patients
have their response assessment done at 120 weeks
- final analysis at the time-point when the required 456
progression/relapse/death events have occurred among all randomized
patients |

|
| E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
(CR) at 120 weeks
(EFS) will be measured from the date of randomization to the date of
first documented progression, relapse, and initiation of a new antilymphoma treatment or death by any cause.
(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).
(OS) will be measured from date of randomization to the date of death.
Patients who die, regardless of the cause of death, will be considered to
have had an event. Patients who withdraw consent for the study will be
considered censored at the time of withdrawal. |
