Summary

This study tested a two-step drug combination for people newly diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma, a type of blood cancer that is not curable with standard treatments. Twenty-three patients who were eligible for a stem cell transplant received rituximab and bendamustine followed by rituximab and cytarabine. The goal was to see if this approach could improve the number of patients achieving complete remission before their transplant.
