Summary

This trial evaluates whether copanlisib, when combined with rituximab, is better than placebo at prolonging progression-free survival in patients with relapsed iNHL.

Who is the study for?
Adults with relapsed Indolent B-cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma who've had previous treatments including rituximab. They should have a specific type of lymphoma, be unfit for chemotherapy due to age or health issues, or unwilling to receive it. Participants need good heart function and performance status, and can't join if they've had certain infections or resistance to similar drugs.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness of copanlisib combined with rituximab versus a placebo combined with rituximab in extending the time patients live without their disease getting worse. It targets those who responded well to past treatments but now show signs of cancer returning.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include high blood sugar levels, lung problems like coughing or difficulty breathing, infections due to weakened immune defenses, liver enzyme changes indicating liver stress or damage, fatigue, hypertension (high blood pressure), and nausea.
