Can a drug boost Radiation's power against Slow-Growing lymphoma?

NCT ID NCT01473628

Summary

This study is testing whether adding the drug rituximab to standard radiation therapy works better than radiation alone for people with early-stage, slow-growing follicular lymphoma. Rituximab is an immunotherapy drug that helps the immune system attack cancer cells. The main goal is to see which approach keeps the cancer from coming back for a longer period of time.
