Study Summary

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is not curable with conventional therapy. This study sought to improve upon standard of care in newly diagnosed, untreated MCL patients who were transplant-eligible using drugs already established as active in MCL. The combination of Rituximab-Bendamustine followed by Rituximab-Cytarabine (RB/RC) was expected to maximize pre-ASCT complete response (CR) rate compared to historical rates approximating 55% with tolerable toxicity.

Primary Outcome

The CR rate is defined as the proportion of patients who after 6 cycles of therapy achieve complete remission based on the International Working Group (IWG) Criteria (Cheson et al, 1999), using CT scans. CR or CRu (CR unconfirmed) by CT scans was defined by standard IWG criteria, ie resolution of all abnormal adenopathy and organomegaly, and clearance of marrow disease when present at baseline.
