CONCLUSIONS
Moderate quality evidence suggests that bendamustine along with rituximab as first line therapy for indolent non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma extends progression-free survival at five years (65.5% vs. 55.5%) when compared with traditional schemes (R-CHOP and R-CVP), although no benefits were observed in overall survival. In addition, no differences in the rate of infections were observed versus other agents. Some clinical practice guidelines include it among the therapeutic alternatives for certain types of lymphoma.
Bendamustine has not been approved for this indication (for indolent non-Hodgkin´s lymphoma it has only been approved for refractory or relapsed cases) by any of the regulatory agencies surveyed.
No cost-effectiveness or budgetary impact analysis have been found, although its cost is significantly higher than its comparators.
