What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

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

    Measured: 8.5 months after treatment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To determine whether NHL patients can mount a primary response to KLH after treatment with rituximab

    Measured: 8.5 months after treatment

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

    Measured: 8.5 months after treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing rituximab in people with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, run by Biogen at 45 sites in 11 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 19 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Oct 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 45 sites in Germany, United States, Russia, Czechia, France and 6 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To determine whether treatment with rituximab causes a clinically significant effect on immunological recall response to tetanus vaccine in NHL patients (time frame: 8.5 months after treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Oct 2009.
