Experimental: Obinutuzumab+Chemotherapy
Participants received 6-8 cycles of obinutuzumab, combined with 6 or 8 cycles of standard chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone/prednisolone/methylprednisolone [CHOP - 21-day cycle) or bendamustine (28-day cycle), or cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone/prednisolone/methylprednisolone [CVP - 21-day cycle]). Participants received an additional two doses of obinutuzumab on Days 8 and 15 of Cycle 1. The investigator is free to choose the chemotherapy for each patient. Obinutuzumab and chemotherapy is administered during induction phase and obinutuzumab monotherapy is administered during maintenance phase.

Drug: Obinutuzumab
Obinutuzumab 1000 mg IV infusion, administered on Day 1, 8 and 15 during Cycle 1, and on Day 1 of subsequent cycles, for 6-8 cycles. Each cycle is 21 or 28 days long depending on the chemotherapy regimen allocated. Maintenance obinutuzumab monotherapy in patients who achieve at least a partial response, after induction therapy will be administered a dose of 1000 mg once every 8 weeks for 2 years or until disease progression (whichever occurs first).
Other Name: GA101, RO5072759 Drug: Bendamustine Bendamustine will be administered on Days 1 and 2 for Cycles 1-6 at a dose of 90 mg/m2/day, for six 28-day cycles. Drug: Cyclophosphamide Cyclophosphamide 750 milligrams per square metre (mg/m^2), administered intravenously (IV) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, for six cycles for CHOP treatment or eight cycles for CVP treatment. Drug: Doxorubicin Doxorubicin 50 mg/m^2 IV, administered on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, for six cycles. Drug: Prednisone/Prednisolone/Methylprednisolone Prednisone 100 mg (or equivalent prednisolone or methylprednisolone), administered orally on Days 1-5 of each 21-day cycle, for six cycles for CHOP treatment or eight cycles for CVP treatment. Drug: Vincristine Vincristine 1.4 mg/m^2 (maximum 2 mg) IV, administered on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, for six cycles for CHOP treatment or eight cycles for CVP treatment. |
