Excerpt:
Patients with histologically confirmed CD20+ low–tumor burden FL were randomly assigned to receive either rituximab...The primary end point was met: the 4-year PFS was 58.1% (95% CI, 47.5 to 67.4) and 41.2% (95% CI, 30.6 to 51.6) in experimental and control arms, respectively (hazard ratio, 0.585 [0.393 to 0.871]; P = .0076). Complete response (CR) rates were 59.0% (95% CI, 48.7 to 68.7) in the experimental arm...SC rituximab improves PFS for patients with low-tumor burden FL when used in induction followed by short maintenance.
