What this trial studies

This international, open-label, randomized phase III trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of Mosunetuzumab combined with Lenalidomide against various investigator-selected treatments in patients with relapsed or refractory Marginal Zone Lymphoma (MZL). Eligible participants must have a confirmed diagnosis of MZL subtypes and have undergone at least one prior systemic treatment. The trial will assess progression-free survival as the primary endpoint, with secondary objectives including overall response rates and complete response rates at 24 months. Patients will be randomized into two arms, receiving either the experimental combination or standard comparator therapies.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with a diagnosis of relapsed or refractory Marginal Zone Lymphoma who have received at least one prior systemic treatment.

Not a fit: Patients who have previously received Lenalidomide or those with less than one prior systemic treatment may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new effective option for patients with relapsed or refractory Marginal Zone Lymphoma.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with similar bispecific antibody approaches, indicating potential for success in this trial.

Inclusion criteria:

1. Have a diagnosis of MZL, of extranodal (EMZL) or splenic (SMZL based on the Matutes score and CD20 + CD11c + CD180 + CD43 + CD200 expression and validated by a centralized review) or nodals (NMZL) subtypes.
