Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Primary Analysis: Progression Free Survival (PFS): Stratified Analysis
Up to 8 years

PFS was defined as duration (in months) from the date of randomization to the date of disease progression or relapse from complete response (CR) or death, whichever was first reported. PFS was assessed by the investigator based on the 2007 Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma. Disease progression was defined as any new lesion or increase by greater than or equal to (\>=) 50 percent (%) of previously involved sites from nadir disease progression criteria: Appearance of new nodal lesion 1.5 centimeters (cm) in any axis, 50% increase in sum of product of diameters (SPD) of greater than (\>) 1 node or 50% increase in longest diameter of previously identified node 1 cm in short axis. Participants who were progression-free and alive or had unknown status were censored at the last tumor assessment. Kaplan-Meier method was used for the analysis. Stratification factors were used for the analysis.

Supplementary Analysis: Progression Free Survival: Unstratified Analysis - Participants With Marginal Zone Lymphoma (MZL)
Up to 8 years

PFS in MZL participants was defined as duration (in months) from the date of randomization to the date of disease progression or relapse from CR or death, whichever was first reported. PFS was assessed by the investigator based on the 2007 Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma. Disease progression was defined as any new lesion or increase by \>=50% of previously involved sites from nadir disease progression criteria: Appearance of new nodal lesion 1.5 cm in any axis, 50% increase in SPD of \>1 node or 50% increase in longest diameter of previously identified node 1 cm in short axis. Participants who were progression-free and alive or had unknown status were censored at the last tumor assessment. Kaplan-Meier method was used for the analysis. For this outcome measure, unstratified analysis was performed on participants with MZL.
