Idelalisib in Combination With Rituximab for Previously Untreated Follicular Lymphoma and Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the overall response rate (ORR) and complete response (CR) rate to treatment with idelalisib in combination with rituximab in previously untreated adults with follicular lymphoma (FL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). An increased rate of deaths and serious adverse events (SAEs) among participants with front-line chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and early-line indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL) treated with idelalisib in combination with standard therapies was observed by the independent data monitoring committee (DMC) during regular review of 3 Gilead Phase 3 studies. Gilead reviewed the unblinded data and terminated those studies in agreement with the DMC recommendation and in consultation with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). All front-line studies of idelalisib, including this study, were also terminated.
