Bevacizumab + CHOP-Rituximab in Untreated Mantle Cell Lymphoma

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2013-11-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Primary Objective

1. To evaluate the safety profile of Bevacizumab (Bevacizumab™)- Rituximab (Rituxan®)-CHOP (RA-CHOP) in patients with newly diagnosed mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).

Secondary Objectives

1. To evaluate the response rate and time to disease progression of the RA-CHOP regimen in patients with newly diagnosed MCL.

2. To prospectively characterize the angiogenic profiles of MCL patients during RA-CHOP treatment.
