E.2 Objective of the trial

E.2.1

Main objective of the trial

Evaluation of the rate of morphologic CR in week 18 after standard dose (24 Gy) involved site (IS) radiotherapy (RT) plus Rituximab or low-dose (4 Gy) IS RT in combination with Obinutuzumab in early stage nodal follicular lymphoma (centrally reviewed)

E.2.2

Secondary objectives of the trial

● Morphologic CR, PR, SD, PD in week 7 and month 6 in patients with initially remaining lymphoma judged by CT/MRI
● Metabolic CR in week 18 in patients with initially remaining lymphoma judged by FDG-PET/CT (centrally reviewed)
● Progression-free survival (PFS) of each treatment arm (2 years after individual treatment start)
● PFS of patients in stage I0 after diagnostic surgery (no remaining lymphoma) treated as the experimental arm (2 years after individual treatment start)
● Toxicity (NCI-CTC criteria, version 5) of all patients
● Relapse rate and pattern of recurrence of each treatment arm at all follow-up visits.
● Overall survival (OS) of each treatment arm (2 years)
● Quality of life according EORTC QLQ C30 and FACT-Lym questionnaires at inclusion and in week 18, month 12, and 24 (each treatment arm)

• Age: ≥18 years
• ECOG: 0-2
• Stage: clinical stage I or II (Ann Arbor classification) based on FDG-PET Staging
• Risk profile: Largest diameter of the lymphoma ≤ 7 cm (sectional images)
• Written informed consent and willingness to cooperate during the course of the trial
• Adequate bone marrow capacity: ANC ≥ 1.5 x 103/ml, thrombocytes ≥ 100000 x 10 3/ml, hemoglobin ≥ 10 g/dL
• Capability to understand the intention and the consequences of the clinical trial
• Adequate contraception for men and women of child-bearing age during therapy and 18 months thereafter

E.4

Principal exclusion criteria

● Extra nodal manifestation of follicular lymphoma
● Secondary cancer in the patient's medical history (exclusion: basalioma, spinalioma, melanoma in situ, bladder cancer T1a, non-metastasized solid tumor in constant remission, which was diagnosed >3 years ago)
● Serious disease interfering with a regular therapy according to the study protocol, e.g: congenital or acquired immune-deficiency syndromes, active infections including viral hepatitis, uncontrolled concomitant diseases including significant cardiovascular or pulmonary disease
● Severe psychiatric disease
● Pregnancy / lactation
● Known hypersensitivity against Obinutuzumab or Rituximab drugs with similar chemical structure or any other additive of the pharmaceutical formula of the study drug
● Active hepatitis B infection (inactive hepatitis B infections require additional prophylactic anti-viral medication for 1 year (e.g. Lamivudin, Entecavir, Tenofovir)
● Participation in another interventional trial or follow-up period of a competing trial which can influence the results of this current trial
