Andre Goy, MD, chief in the division of lymphoma, chairman and director at John Theurer Cancer Center, discusses the role of rituximab (Rituxan) and bendamustine plus cytarabine (R-BAC) as a treatment for patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Goy says the data with R-BAC are interesting because the agents are combined to get the best of both rituximab and bendamustine, with low-dose cytarabine for age and myelotoxicity. Outside of clinical trials, Goy says R-BAC is an appealing option because it offers a sustainable progression-free survival, duration of response, and a very high complete response rate.
