Abstract
The outcomes for follicular lymphoma (FL) have improved significantly in recent years. This has been driven by an improved understanding of the pathobiology of FL and the development of therapeutic anti-CD20 antibodies. Combining rituximab with chemotherapy, coupled with its use as maintenance therapy, has contributed to significant improvements in disease control and progression-free survival. However, FL remains incurable and almost all patients invariably relapse. Therefore, there remains a need to develop novel therapeutic options and optimize existing regimens. Obinutuzumab (a first-in-class, glycoengineered, humanized type 2 anti-CD20 antibody) has been evaluated in a number of clinical trials. In this review, we will summarize the evaluable results of clinical trials investigating the efficacy of obinutuzumab in the treatment of FL.
