Rituximab/Bendamustine + Rituximab/Cytarabine for Mantle Cell Lymphoma

A Phase II Study of Rituximab/Bendamustine Followed by Rituximab/Cytarabine for Untreated Mantle Cell Lymphoma

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 8 Jun 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is not curable with conventional therapy. This study sought to improve upon standard of care in newly diagnosed, untreated MCL patients who were transplant-eligible using drugs already established as active in MCL. The combination of Rituximab-Bendamustine followed by Rituximab-Cytarabine (RB/RC) was expected to maximize pre-ASCT complete response (CR) rate compared to historical rates approximating 55% with tolerable toxicity.
