E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the chemotherapy-free combination of copanlisib and obinutuzumab in patients with previously untreated follicular lymphoma (FL) and a high tumor burden. Primary endpoint is the probability of progression free survival one year after registration. Progression-free survival (PFS) is chosen as primary endpoint since it represents besides overall survival the most relevant parameter for patients. PFS is defined as the time from registration to lymphoma progression or death from any cause. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• Complete remission (CR) rates and overall response rates at end of induction, at end of consolidation and at end of maintenance • Progression free survival from registration • Duration of response from end of induction to progression/death • Cumulative incidence of progression from registration • Failure-free survival from start of therapy • Time to next anti-lymphoma therapy/time to next chemotherapy • Overall survival from registration • Treatment associated adverse events • Percentage of MRD-negative patients • Duration of molecular remission for MRD negative patients from end of induction therapy • Cumulative incidence of secondary transformations to aggressive lymphoma • Cumulative incidence of secondary malignancies • Percentage of patients with compliance to therapy after 6, 12, and 30 months • Frequency of patient-reported lymphoma symptoms and concerns (FACT-Lym) |
