The Lymphoma Hub has recently covered news on the European Medicines Agency's (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, issuing a positive opinion for the approval of lenalidomide plus rituximab (R2) as a treatment for adult patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL). You can read it here.
On the 20th of December 2019, the R2 combination was approved by the EMA, based on the positive data from multi-center phase III studies AUGMENT (NCT01938001) and MAGNIFY (NCT01996865).1
You can read the Lymphoma Hub’s coverage of the AUGMENT study, watch an interview with Marek Trněný discussing the post-hoc analysis of the data in the elderly population, and Mathias Rummel discussing the MAGNIFY trial.
