Description/
Intervention:
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the combination of
bendamustine hydrochloride, mitoxantrone, and rituximab can help to control
follicular lymphoma.

The safety of this drug combination will also be studied.

Study Objectives / Outcomes
Primary objectives
· To evaluate the complete response rate of the combination of bendamustine, mitoxantrone, and rituximab in previously untreated follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.


Secondary study objectives
· To evaluate the toxicity and safety of BMR in patients with untreated follicular lymphoma.

· To determine the time to progression (TTP) in patients with untreated follicular lymphoma following treatment with BMR.
  • To evaluate the overall response rate of the combination of bendamustine, mitoxantrone, and rituximab in previously untreated follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.


Exploratory objectives
· To determine the correlation between molecular complete response and response to therapy.
    · To examine the immediate and prolonged effects of BMR on immune effector cell number and function.

    8) Have a high risk FLIPI score, as defined by a FLIPI score >/= 3.

    9) Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test with a sensitivity of at least 50 mIU/mL within 10 to 14 days prior to study entry.

    10) An ejection fraction of >/= 50% as documented by a cardiac function study.

    Exclusion Criteria:1) Any serious medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness that would prevent the subject from signing the informed consent form.

    2) Pregnant or breast feeding females.

    3) Any condition, including the presence of laboratory abnormalities, which places the subject at unacceptable risk if he/she were to participate in the study or confounds the ability to interpret data from the study.

    4) Use of any prior chemotherapy for follicular lymphoma.

    5) Known hypersensitivity to Bendamustine, mitoxantrone, or mannitol.

    6) A history of congestive heart failure.

    7) Any prior use of bendamustine or mitoxantrone.

    8) Concurrent use of other anti-cancer agents or experimental treatments.
