Evaluating a new treatment for relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

A Phase Ib Study Evaluating the Safety, Efficacy, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of Glofitamab in Combination With Gemcitabine Plus Oxaliplatin in U.S. Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

PHASE1 · Hoffmann-La Roche · NCT06624085

This study is testing a new combination of medicines to see if it can help people with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma feel better, especially focusing on those from under-represented racial and ethnic backgrounds.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the combination of glofitamab, gemcitabine, and oxaliplatin in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in the U.S. The trial aims to assess the safety and efficacy of this treatment regimen, particularly focusing on under-represented racial and ethnic populations. Participants must have histologically confirmed DLBCL and have received at least one prior line of systemic therapy. The study will measure the response to treatment through imaging and clinical assessments.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals with relapsed or refractory DLBCL who have received at least one prior line of therapy and meet specific health criteria.

Not a fit: Patients who have only failed one prior line of therapy and are candidates for stem cell transplantation may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with difficult-to-treat DLBCL.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise with similar treatment combinations, but this specific approach is being evaluated for the first time.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Histologically confirmed DLBCL, not otherwise specified (NOS)
* Relapsed (disease that has recurred following a response that lasted ≥ 6 months after completion of the last line of therapy) or refractory ( disease that did not respond to or that progressed \< 6 months after completion of the last line of therapy) disease
* At least one prior line of systemic therapy
* Participants who have failed only one prior line of therapy must not be a candidate for high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT)
* At least one bi-dimensionally measurable (\> 1.5 cm) nodal lesion, or one bi-dimensionally measurable (\> 1 cm) extranodal lesion, as measured on CT scan
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0, 1, or 2

Exclusion Criteria:

* Participant has failed only one prior line of therapy and is a candidate for stem cell transplantation

* Primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma
* History of severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions to humanized or murine monoclonal antibodies (or recombinant antibody-related fusion proteins) or known sensitivity or allergy to murine products
* Prior treatment with glofitamab or other bispecific antibodies targeting both CD20 and CD3
* Prior treatment with gemcitabine or oxaliplatin
* Peripheral neuropathy or paresthesia assessed to be Grade \>/= 2 according to NCI CTCAE v5.0 at enrollment
* Treatment with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, immunosuppressive therapy, or any investigational agent for the purposes of treating cancer within 2 weeks prior to first study treatment
* Treatment with monoclonal antibodies for the purposes of treating cancer within 4 weeks prior to first study treatment
* Primary or secondary CNS lymphoma at the time of recruitment or history of CNS lymphoma
* Prior CNS involvement that has been definitively treated and confirmed via MRI or cerebrospinal fluid analysis to be in complete remission is permissible
* Current or history of CNS disease, such as stroke, epilepsy, CNS vasculitis, or neurodegenerative disease
* History of other primary malignancy, with exceptions defined by the protocol
* Significant or extensive cardiovascular disease, or significant pulmonary disease
* Known active bacterial, viral, fungal, mycobacterial, parasitic, or other infection (exclusing fungal infections of nail beds) at study enrollment or any major episode of infection within 4 weeks prior to the first study treatment
* Documented severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection within 6 months of first study treatment, or positive SARS-CoV-2 test within 7 days prior to enrollment
* Suspected or latent tuberculosis
* Positive test results for hepatitis B (HBV) or hepatitis C (HCV)

* Prior solid organ transplantation
* Prior allogenic stem cell transplant
* Active autoimmune disease requiring treatment
* Prior treatment with systemic immunosuppressive medications within 4 weeks prior to first dose of study treatment
* Ongoing systemic corticosteroid use which, in the opinion of the investigator, puts the patient at increased risk of steroid-related iatrogenic adrenal insufficiency
* Recent major surgery (within 4 weeks before the first study treatment) other than for diagnosis
* Clinically significant history of cirrhotic liver disease
