<...In a similar study in intermediate- or high-grade patients, the overall response rate was 97%, with 20 of 33 patients achieving complete responses. As a follow-up to these studies, Genentech and IDEC launched a 420-patient phase III study in January 2000 to evaluate safety and efficacy of Rituxan/CHOP versus CHOP alone in previously untreated CD20+ intermediate- or high-grade NHL patients. >

The wheels grind verrrryyyyy slowly. Rituxan has been available to oncologists to kill CD20 lymphoma cells for 30 months now. They are gradually working up a head of steam...unbelievably slowly. Imagine how many umpty trillions of cancer cells have been given a free run for all those months while oncologists figure out that Rituxan might be useful to keep people alive.
