A novel combination therapy has been made available on the NHS for patients with previously treated follicular lymphoma (FL; Grade 13A). In the final appraisal document, the National Institute for Care Excellence (NICE) recommended the combination of lenalidomide with rituximab (R2) for adult patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) FL. The R2 regimen offers a chemotherapy-free treatment that will become immediately accessible to patients with R/R FL.1

The Lymphoma Hub reported results from the phase III AUGMENT trial (NCT01938001) which led to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) approval of R2 in adult patients with R/R FL. Take a look at the Lymphoma Hub’s coverage of the AUGMENT study, FDA approval and EMA approval of R2.
