SHINE is a larger trial that is fully enrolled, but the readout is not available yet. Patients in this trial were randomized to receive either bendamustine or rituximab (Rituxan), or a combination of bendamustine/rituximab plus ibrutinib. Ibrutinib was also continued as a post-remission therapy, according to Kahl.
