Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas can be divided clinically into two general categories: indolent lymphomas, mainly typified as follicular lymphomas, that tend to grow relatively slowly, and aggressive lymphomas, mainly typified as DLBCL, which grow more rapidly.
Indolent lymphoma is a slow-growing, incurable disease in which the average patient survives between six and 10 years, following numerous periods of remission and relapse.
We also have developed other potential clinical trial protocols to treat sub-populations of NHL patients, such as those with indolent lymphoma who have not been previously treated with chemotherapy, and may also move forward with these trials, which may allow even faster assessment of the clinical efficacy of our vaccine.
