Phase 3

Details

This trial is looking at a new drug called GP2103 alongside chemotherapy to treat follicular lymphoma.

Doctors usually treat follicular lymphoma with chemotherapy and a monoclonal antibody. The chemotherapy they usually use is a combination of cyclophosphamide, vincristine and prednisolone (CVP). The monoclonal antibody they use is rituximab (Mabthera).

GP2013 is a monoclonal antibody that is similar, but not identical, to rituximab.

The researchers want to compare rituximab alongside CVP with GP2013 alongside CVP. The aim of the trial is to find out if GP2013 works as well rituximab to treat follicular lymphoma.

Recruitment start: 1 December 2011

Recruitment end: 18 December 2014
