Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To determine whether treatment with rituximab causes a clinically significant effect on immunological recall response to tetanus vaccine in NHL patients

    8.5 months after treatment

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • To determine whether NHL patients can mount a primary response to KLH after treatment with rituximab

    8.5 months after treatment

  • To determine whether NHL subjects treated with rituximab experience clinically significant changes in antibody titers to a panel of specific antigens

    8.5 months after treatment

  • Receipt of intravenous or intramuscular immunoglobulin (IVIG or IMIG) within 30 days of Day 1.
  • Known history of hepatitis or other hepatic disease, HIV infection, or AIDS.
  • Current use (including "recreational use") of any illicit drugs or history of drug or alcohol abuse within the 5 years prior to Day 1.
  • Prior diagnosis of aggressive NHL or mantle-cell lymphoma.
  • Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
  • Small lymphocytic lymphoma (IWF A) with peripheral blood lymphocyte count \> 5,000 cells/mm3.
  • History of other primary malignancy, with the exception of squamous cell carcinoma or basal cell carcinoma of the skin, in situ carcinoma of the cervix, or treated prostate cancer for which the subject has not been disease free for at least 3 years.
  • Serious nonmalignant disease (e.g., congestive heart failure, hydronephrosis); active, uncontrolled bacterial, viral, or fungal infection; or any other condition that would compromise protocol objectives in the opinion of the investigator and/or sponsor.
  • Known allergies or contraindications to tetanus toxoid or KLH.
