NCT02710643

Brief Summary

Phase II prospective multicenter study for stage I/II Follicular Lymphoma treated with involved-field radiotherapy (IFRT) at doses of 24 Gy) with or without Ofatumumab for 8 weekly doses on molecular basis. Patients with positive basal Bcl-2 will be followed every 3 months and with Bcl-2 detection every 6 months for 3 years. Patient with negative basal Bcl-2 will be followed every 3 months without further Bcl-2 detection. Ofatumumab treatment will be administered to:

  1. 1.Patients with positive basal PCR for Bcl-2-IgH rearrangement in BM and/or PB, resulting still positive after IFRT;
  2. 2.Patients with positive basal PCR for Bcl-2-IgH in

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Bcl-2 negativization after Ofatumumab

    The proportion of Bcl-2 negativization after Ofatumumab treatment will be estimated by the proportion, and its confidence interval, of residual Bcl-2 positive cases after radiotherapy, which will became negative after Ofatumumab treatment

Study Arms (3)

MRD - BEFORE RT

NO INTERVENTION

Patients who had negative baseline Bcl-2 in PB and BM will not undergo further treatment after radiotherapy; they will not repeat Bcl-2 during subsequent follow-up visits.

MRD + BEFORE RT AND MRD - AFTER RT

NO INTERVENTION

Patients who had positive baseline Bcl-2 in PB and / or BM and become negative after local radiotherapy will not undergo further treatment.

MRD + BEFORE RT AND MRD + AFTER RT

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients who had positive baseline Bcl-2 in PB and / or BM and remain positive after local radiotherapy get Ofatumumab (8 weekly infusion of 1000 mg total dose). Patients Bcl-2 negativized either after radiotherapy or after Ofatumumab, who became Bcl-2 positive during the follow-up monitoring will be treated/retreated with Ofatumumab 8 weekly infusions at the conventional dose of 1000 mg; Bcl-2 monitoring will be continued subsequently according to the program.In case of persistent positive PCR after Ofatumumab the treatment will not be repeated.

Drug: OFATUMUMAB
