Revision as of 03:10, 4 February 2020

The purpose of this page is to provide references to "null therapy" such as placebo and observation. While not clinically relevant, these references provide further insight into the historical development of the treatment landscape. See the main mantle cell lymphoma page for current regimens.

Note: No further systemic treatment; many of these trials incorporated RT, however (see individual papers for details). Reported efficacy for NSABP B-13 is based on the 1996 update. Reported efficacy for the Scottish Tamoxifen Trial is based on the 2001 update. Reported efficacy for DBCG 77B is based on the 2010 update.

Fisher et al. 1975 (NSABP B-05) 1972-1975 Phase III (C) Melphalan Might have inferior DFS (*)
Fisher et al. 1989 (NSABP B-14) 1982-1987 Phase III (C) Tamoxifen Inferior OS (*)
Fisher et al. 2001 (NSABP B-23) 1991-1998 Phase III (C) Tamoxifen Did not meet primary endpoint of OS

Mamounas et al. 2008 (NSABP B-33) 2001-2003 Phase III (C) Exemestane Inferior RFS

No active antineoplastic treatment. Used as a comparator arm, historically. Reported efficacy for NSABP B-05 is based on the 1986 update. Reported efficacy for NSABP B-14 based on the 2004 update.
