Trial design
Randomised, open-label, control group: immunochemotherapy selected before randomization based on patient characteristics: patients aged < 60 years in good physical condition receive fcr (fludarabine + cyclophosphamide + rituximab); patients aged ≥ 60 years or 18-60 years with cirs > 6 or creatinine clearance < 70 ml/min receive r‑clb (rituximab + chlorambucil). dose information available in product data: fludarabine up to 25 mg/m2 (mg/m2), cyclophosphamide up to 250 mg/m2, rituximab up to 500 mg/m2, chlorambucil 0.5 mg/kg. exact regimen schedules are investigator-determined per control assignment; study cycles are 28-day cycles. Phase III trial in Spain, Czechia, Bulgaria.
