Most present with fever, malaise and facial skin rash suggesting to internists other unrelated health problems. A capricious disease, lupus strikes in skin, joints, kidney, heart, pancreas, colon, eyes, blood...the list continues and flare-ups are sporadic. If organ damage is severe, lupus can be fatal.

Genentech's Gazyva(R) Showed Superior Progression-Free Survival Compared to Rituxan(R) in People with Previously Untreated Follicular Lymphoma
BusinessWire - Fri May 27, 12:00AM CDT
Genentech, a member of the Roche Group (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) today announced positive results from the pivotal Phase III GALLIUM study in people with previously untreated follicular lymphoma, the most common type of indolent (slow-growing) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (iNHL). The study compared the efficacy and safety of Gazyva(R) (obinutuzumab) plus chemotherapy (CHOP, CVP or bendamustine) followed by Gazyva alone, head-to-head with Rituxan(R) (rituximab) plus chemotherapy followed by Rituxan alone. Results from a pre-planned interim analysis showed that Gazyva-based treatment significantly reduced the risk of disease worsening or death (progression-free survival; PFS, as assessed by investigator) compared to Rituxan-based treatment. Adverse events with either Gazyva or Rituxan were consistent with what was seen in previous clinical trials when each was combined with various chemotherapies. Data from the GALLIUM study will be presented at an upcoming medical meeting and submitted to health authorities for approval consideration.
