Introduction: Despite standard prevention strategies, obinutuzumab carries a significant risk of infusion-related reactions (IRRs) for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL). Reported rates of IRRs vary in phase III clinical trials evaluating obinutuzumab-containing regimens. Although obinutuzumab has a higher rate of severe (grade 3 and higher) IRRs than rituximab, clinical risk factors predicting IRR have not been identified, and therefore strata informing patient-specific risk of IRR have not been applied in practice.

Immunomodulatory agent lenalidomide is effective in treating follicular lymphoma (FL). We conducted the first trial of immunotherapy rituximab plus lenalidomide in newly diagnosed FL in China (NCT03715309). One-hundred and fifteen patients were enrolled and treated with rituximab 375 mg/m intravenously on day 0 and lenalidomide 25 mg orally on day 1-10 for 6 cycles of induction treatment, as well as lenalidomide for 6 cycles and rituximab for 8 cycles of maintenance treatment.
