• FCR did not improve the PFS or OS of patients with a del(17p)
• FCR caused more neutropenia without increasing rate of severe infections

Front-line Choices for Indolent NHL and CLL:
FC, CHOP, or Bendamustine?
Practicing physicians in the United States and
Europe are likely to use more bendamustine
in the future.

Front-line Lenalidomide and Rituximab
Patients With CLL: Early Report
Lenalidomide started at 2.5 mg/d → 5 mg and 10 mg on day 8, if tolerated
(L 21/35 days [cycle 1] → 21/28 days [cycles 2-7])
Rituximab 50 mg/m2 day 29, 325 mg/m2 day 31, 375 mg/m2 day 33 (cycle 1)
→ 375 mg/m2 weekly x 4 (cycle 2) and on day 1 (cycles 3-7)
Early results of the ongoing study suggest that lenalidomide/rituximab
immunotherapy is tolerable

included nausea (79%), fatigue (65%), diarrhea (57%), and vomiting (44%)

generally well tolerated

Evolving Standard of Care
European and US Perspectives
• Cross-fertilization between the US and Europe
–
–
–
–
Europe → US: bendamustine
US → Europe: lenalidomide
Europe: large randomized trials
US: new drug development
• Strategic planning between European and
US investigators
– Avoid duplication of studies
– Move toward the more efficient development of better
treatment regimens
– Improve patient outcomes
