Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (18+) with histologically confirmed mantle cell lymphoma who failed or relapsed after CAR-T cell therapy and meet the study's timing and disease-status criteria.

Probably not a fit

Patients with incompatible health conditions, inability to tolerate bispecific therapy, or those without relapsed/refractory disease after CAR-T therapy may not benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a phase 2, multicenter, single-arm trial evaluating the safety and effectiveness of glofitamab in patients with mantle cell lymphoma after CAR-T–cell therapy failure. Eligible participants will undergo a screening period, a treatment period, and a follow-up period while receiving glofitamab. Safety data will be compared with known profiles of glofitamab and similar bispecific regimens to identify potential new risks.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience tumor responses or disease control and potential improvements in symptoms or progression-free duration.

How similar studies have gone: Prior studies of glofitamab and other bispecific regimens have shown activity in similar lymphomas, supporting exploration in this setting.

   * Aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤ 3.0 x ULN;
   * Bilirubin ≤1.5 x ULN (unless bilirubin rise is due to Gilbert's syndrome or of non-hepatic origin).
10. Participants must be able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements.

14. Women of childbearing potential must take necessary precautions to avoid pregnancy while receiving study treatments and for 2 months after the last dose of glofitamab, for 18 months after the last dose of obinutuzumab and for 3 months after the last dose of tocilizumab.
15. Male patient with a female partner of childbearing potential must agree to use an acceptable method of contraception for the duration of the study and for 2 months after the last dose of glofitamab, for 3 months after the last dose of obinutuzumab and for 2 months after the last dose of tocilizumab.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Prior exposure to an anti-CD20xCD3 bispecific antibody (bsAbs).
2. Participants not able to give consent.
3. History of treatment-emergent immune-related adverse events associated with prior immunotherapeutic agents, as follows:

   * Grade ≥ 3 adverse events except for Grade 3 endocrinopathy managed with replacement therapy;
   * Grade 1-2 adverse events that did not resolve to baseline after treatment discontinuation.
4. Patients with history of macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) / hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH).
5. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
6. History of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML).
7. History of autoimmune disease, including, but not limited to myocarditis, pneumonitis, myasthenia gravis, myositis, autoimmune hepatitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, vascular thrombosis associated with antiphospholipid syndrome, Wegener's granulomatosis, Sjögren's syndrome, Guillain-Barré syndrome, multiple sclerosis, vasculitis, or glomerulonephritis.
8. CNS involvement with lymphoma.
9. Participant has received any anti-cancer therapy including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, investigational therapy, including targeted small molecule agents within 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug.
10. Cardiovascular disease \[NYHA class ≥2\].
11. Significant history of neurologic, psychiatric, endocrinological, metabolic, immunologic, or hepatic disease that would preclude participation in the study or compromise ability to give informed consent.
12. Evidence of other clinically significant uncontrolled condition(s) included, but not limited to:

    1. Uncontrolled and/or active systemic infection (viral, bacterial or fungal), including active ongoing infection from SARS-CoV-2;
    2. Chronic or acute hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C (HCV) require treatment. Note: participants with serologic evidence of prior vaccination to HBV (i.e. hepatitis B surface (HBs) antigen (Ag) negative, anti-HBs antibody positive and anti-hepatitis B core (HBc) antibody negative) or positive anti-HBc antibody from previous infection or intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) may participate; inactive carriers (HBsAg positive with undetectable HBV- DNA) are eligible. Patients with presence of HCV antibody are eligible only if PCR negative for HCV-RNA;
13. HIV seropositivity.
14. If female, the patient is pregnant or breast-feeding.
