Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Overall Response Rate (ORR) (Assessed by Independent Review Committee [IRC])
- timeFrame
- From the date of the first administration of bendamustine to the first documentation of disease progression/relapse, new anticancer therapy, or death (regardless of cause), whichever occurred first (up to 2.5 Years)
- description
- The ORR was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved a best response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) during the study based on the modified International Workshop Response Criteria. CR: disappearance of all evidence of disease; nodal masses regression on normal size on computed tomography (CT); spleen and liver not palpable and nodule disappeared; bone marrow infiltrate cleared on repeat biopsy. PR: Regression of measurable disease and no new sites; nodal masses ≥50% decrease in sum of the product of the diameters (SPD) of up to 6 largest dominant masses and no increase in size of other nodes; spleen and liver ≥50% decrease in SPD of nodules and no increase in size of liver or spleen.

Inclusion Criteria: \- The participant has documented relapse from indolent B-cell NHL. Participants with the following subtypes of indolent NHL are eligible for this study: i) small lymphocytic lymphoma (peripheral B cell count \<5000 cells/cubic millimeters \[mm\^3\]) ii) lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma iii) splenic marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (±villous lymphocytes) iv) extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue type v) nodal marginal zone lymphoma (±monocytoid B-cells) vi) follicle center lymphoma vii) follicular (grade 1, 2, or 3a) lymphoma \- The participant has disease documented to have progressed despite rituximab treatment. The participant's disease is considered to be rituximab refractory if any of the following criteria are met at any time during the participant's treatment history (progression must be documented by computed tomography \[CT\] scan or magnetic resonance imaging \[MRI\] or biopsy) or if a participant has palpable lymph nodes that were well documented in size and, after rituximab treatment, palpable disease remains or comes back \[CT, MRI, or biopsy is preferred and performed whenever possible to document progressive disease (PD)\]: i) rituximab-only regimen: Participants who receive a full course of single-agent rituximab (at least 2 doses of 375 mg/m\^2 \[or a therapeutically-active dose\] weekly) and have no response (do not obtain a PR or better) to treatment or progress after a full regimen of rituximab was given. ii) rituximab maintenance therapy or extended schedule: Participants who have a history of a full course of rituximab (at least 2 doses of 375 mg/m\^2 \[or a therapeutically-active dose\] as a single agent \[weekly\] or in combination with chemotherapy \[day 1 of each of 4 cycles\]) and are on a maintenance regimen, and progress before the next scheduled rituximab dose or after completing a maintenance rituximab regimen. iii) rituximab-chemotherapy combination regimen: Participants who receive a full course of rituximab (at least 2 doses of 375 mg/m\^2 or a therapeutically-active dose \[on day 1 of each of 2 cycles\]) in combination with chemotherapy and have no response (do not obtain a PR or better) to treatment or progress after the last dose of rituximab in a regimen. iv) full rituximab exposure treatment: Participants who have a history of a full course of rituximab treatment (at least 2 doses of 375 mg/m\^2 \[or a therapeutically-active dose\] as a single agent or in combination with chemotherapy) and, in a subsequent rituximab/chemotherapy combination regimen, have no response (do not obtain a PR or better) to treatment or progress after the last dose of rituximab in a given regimen, even if the subsequent regimen included less than 2 doses of rituximab. Participants could receive additional systemic treatment after the qualifying rituximab regimen. * The participant has received treatment with at least 1, but no more than 3, previous chemotherapy regimens. A regimen is defined as a new treatment combination or agent. Retreatment with the identical regimen or agent does not count as a new regimen; however, change from cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisolone (CVP) to cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone (CHOP) is counted as a new regimen. Rituximab, radioimmunotherapy, or other biologic treatments not combined with chemotherapy are not counted as a regimen. * The participant has a bidimensionally measurable disease with at least 1 lesion measuring 2.0 centimeters (cm) or more in a single dimension. Participants who have previous involved-field irradiation can be included, provided the irradiated area is not the only source of measurable disease. * The participant has a World Health Organization (WHO) performance status of 0, 1, or 2. * The participant has absolute neutrophil count (ANC) 1000 cells/mm\^3 or more and platelet count 85000 cells/mm\^3 or more. * The participant has a creatinine clearance of more than 30 mL/min as determined by the Cockcroft-Gault calculation. * The participant has adequate hepatic function (no more than 2.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) for aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and no more than 1.5 times the upper limit of the normal range (ULN) for total bilirubin). Participants with nonclinically significant elevations of bilirubin due to Gilbert's disease are eligible. * The participant has had a bone marrow biopsy within 6 weeks before the 1st dose of bendamustine. * Women of childbearing potential (not surgically sterile or 1 year postmenopausal) must use a medically accepted method of contraception and must agree to continue use of this method starting 2 weeks before the start of study drug treatment, during study drug treatment, and for 3 months after the end of study drug treatment. Acceptable methods of contraception include abstinence, barrier method with spermicide, intrauterine device (IUD), or steroidal contraceptive (oral, transdermal, implanted, and injected) in conjunction with a barrier method. * Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test. * Men not surgically sterile or who are capable of producing offspring must practice abstinence or use a barrier method of birth control, and must agree to continue use of this method starting 2 weeks before the start of study drug treatment, during study drug treatment, and for 3 months after the end of study drug treatment. * The participant has an estimated life expectancy of at least 3 months. * The participant (or participant's legal representative) provides written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * The participant has received previous radiotherapy, radioimmunotherapy, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy within 4 weeks before day 1 of cycle 1 or has failed to recover (to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events \[CTCAE\] toxicity grade 1 or 2) from clinically significant nonhematologic adverse events due to any agents administered previously. * The participant has received treatment with an investigational agent within 4 weeks of day 1 of cycle 1. * The participant has received hematopoietic growth factors within 4 weeks of day 1 of cycle 1. However, participants receiving chronic erythropoietin treatment are eligible for inclusion in this study. * The participant has a history of previous high-dose chemotherapy with allogeneic stem cell support (history of autologous stem cell support is permissible). * The participant is receiving or has received treatment with therapeutic doses of systemic steroids within 4 weeks of day 1 of cycle 1. (Low doses of chronic steroids \[prednisone or equivalent\] up to 20 mg/day for non-neoplastic disorders or for indications other than lymphoma or lymphoma-related complications are permitted.) * The participant has transformed disease. * The participant has any history of central nervous system (CNS) or leptomeningeal lymphoma. * The participant has, or has had within the past 5 years, an active malignancy other than the target cancer. The exceptions are prostate cancer (Gleason grade \<6 with prostate specific antigen \[PSA\] levels within the normal range), in situ cervical or breast carcinoma, and nonmelanoma skin cancer that have received definitive treatment. * The participant is a pregnant or lactating woman. (Any women becoming pregnant during the study will be withdrawn from the study immediately.) * The participant has a serious infection, medical condition, or psychiatric condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, might interfere with the achievement of the study objectives. * The participant is known to be positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), have active hepatitis B, or active hepatitis C (anti-hepatitis C virus \[HCV\] positive). Hepatitis B surface antigen must be tested. The determination of active disease is left up to the Investigator. * The participant has a known hypersensitivity to mannitol. * The participant has used bendamustine previously.
