Brief Summary: RATIONALE Monoclonal antibodies such as rituximab can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells It is not yet known which rituximab regimen is more effective in treating indolent non-Hodgkins lymphoma

PURPOSE This randomized phase III trial is studying two different schedules of rituximab and comparing them to see how well they work in treating patients with low tumor burden indolent stage III non-Hodgkins lymphoma or stage IV non-Hodgkins lymphoma
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

To compare time to rituximab failure between the rituximab scheduled and rituximab retreatment arms

Secondary

To compare the time to first cytotoxic therapy between the rituximab scheduled and rituximab retreatment arms
To document the rationale for beginning cytotoxic therapy defined as chemotherapy radiation therapy or radioimmunotherapy
To compare the toxicities associated with rituximab therapy between the two randomized treatment arms
Quality of Life Objectives

1 To compare health-related quality of life distress psychological functioning physical well-being and functional well-being of patients receiving rituximab scheduled to those receiving rituximab retreatment
2 To examine the impact of differential treatment response delayed time to rituximab failure andor time to first cytotoxic therapy if observed on quality of life distress and psychological functioning on patients receiving rituximab scheduled to those receiving rituximab retreatment
3 To obtain prospective data on physical and functional well-being during treatment with rituximab

OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter study Patients are stratified according to histologic subtype follicular vs other age under 60 vs 60 and over and the time from diagnosis less than 1 year vs at least 1 year

Induction rituximab Patients receive rituximab Intravenous IV once a week for 4 weeks

Patients are re-evaluated 9 weeks after the completion of induction rituximab Patients with a partial or complete response to induction rituximab are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm A retreatment rituximab Patients receive rituximab IV once a week for 4 weeks upon disease progression provided time to progression is more than 6 months
Arm B scheduled rituximab Patients receive a single dose of rituximab IV once every 13 weeks until disease progression and in the absence of unacceptable toxicity

Quality of life is assessed after induction rituximab treatment and at 26 39 65 117 169 and 221 weeks after randomization

Patients are followed at least annually for 15 years from study entry
