    Patients will be treated a maximum of 8 cycles or until the patient has evidence of a response, progressive disease, or until intolerable toxicity develops. Patients with a complete response will receive an additional 2 cycles of treatment (not to exceed 8 cycles). Drug order is gemcitabine, mitoxantrone, and rituximab.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Objective Response Rate (CR + PR)

    Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the LD of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum LD.

    Time frame: 2 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Duration of Response

    The duration of response is measured from the time measurement criteria are first met for CR/PR until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented. CR: Disappearance of all target lesions. PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the LD of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum LD.

    Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or the date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 33 months.

  2. Overall Survival (OS) Rate at 1 Year

    OS is measured from the date of randomization to the date of death for a dead patient. If a patient is still alive or is lost to follow up, the patient will be censored at the last contact date.

    Time frame: 1 year.

  3. Progression-free Survival Rate at 1 Year.

    PFS is measured from the date of randomization to the date of first documented disease progression or date of death, whichever comes first. If a patient neither progresses nor dies, this patient will be censored at last contact date.

    Time frame: 1 year.
