Polatuzumab Vedotin and Combination Chemotherapy With or Without Glofitamab for the Treatment of Untreated Aggressive Large B-cell Lymphoma

Plain-language summary
This phase I trial studies the side effects of polatuzumab vedotin when given with combination chemotherapy with or without glofitamab for the treatment of patients with untreated large B-cell lymphoma that grows and spreads quickly and has severe symptoms (aggressive). Polatuzumab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, polatuzumab, linked to a toxic agent called vedotin. Polatuzumab attaches to CD79B positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. Glofitamab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Drugs used in combination chemotherapy such as etoposide, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as prednisone, lower the body's immune response and are used with other drugs in the treatment of some types of cancer. Giving polatuzumab vedotin in combination chemotherapy with or without glofitamab may help treat patients with aggressive large B-cell lymphoma.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Untreated aggressive B-cell large-B cell lymphoma (non-Hodgkin lymphoma) with adverse features that may predict sub-optimal response to rituximab-cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin (hydroxydaunorubicin), vincristine (Oncovin), prednisone (R-CHOP) and in the opinion of the investigator would be treated with DA-EPOCH-R as standard of care. Subjects must be planned to receive full course (6 cycles) chemoimmunotherapy as per clinical standard of care. Composite lymphomas are not excluded provided that the subject has not receive prior systemic therapy for the indolent component and would receive DA-EPOCH-R as the standard of care regimen for the aggressive component. Eligible histologies based on 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) classification include:
* High grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 translocations
* High grade B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (NOS)
* Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) NOS
* Primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma
* T-cell/histiocyte-rich large-B-cell lymphoma
* Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) + DLBCL, NOS
* ALK+ large B-cell lymphoma (must be CD20+)
* B-cell lymphoma, unclassifiable, with features intermediate between DLBCL and classical Hodgkin lymphoma
* Be willing and able to provide written informed consent for the trial
* Be \>= 18 years of age on day of signing informed consent
* Have measurable disease, including at least 1 nodal site measuring 1.5 cm or 1 extranodal site measuring 1.0 cm i…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
