Who can take part

AI summary

From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.

The trial is looking for adults with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that has come back or has not responded to at least 1 earlier treatment.

Age
18 years or older.
Sex
All sexes can join.
Disease stage
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma NOS, high-grade B-cell lymphoma, or indolent lymphoma that has turned into DLBCL. It must have relapsed or not responded after 1 or more earlier lines of therapy. It must be measurable on a CT or PET scan, with at least one site 1.5 cm (0.6 in) or larger.
Earlier treatment
At least 1 earlier line of therapy. One expansion group needs earlier CAR T-cell therapy. Earlier polatuzumab vedotin is allowed. Side effects from earlier cancer treatment must have recovered to grade 1 or milder, except hair loss.

Main reasons for not taking part

  • Plasmablastic lymphoma, primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma or gray zone lymphoma
  • Active lymphoma in the brain or spinal fluid area (central nervous system)
  • Active or uncontrolled infection, or chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding, or planning a pregnancy during the study
  • Earlier solid organ transplant

Who cannot take part

  • Patients who have not recovered from adverse events due to prior anti-cancer therapy (i.e., have residual toxicities > grade 1) with the exception of alopecia
  • Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents or treatments

  • Pregnant women are excluded from this study because mosunetuzumab is bispecific antibody with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with mosunetuzumab, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with mosunetuzumab. These potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study. Pregnant or breastfeeding, or intending to become pregnant during the study or within 3 months after the final dose of mosunetuzumab, 3 months after the final dose of polatuzumab vedotin, and 1 month after the final dose of lenalidomide

  • Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness
  • Active CNS involvement or detectable disease by lymphoma, including leptomeningeal involvement
  • Known or suspected chronic active Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection
  • Patients with any other significant condition(s) that would make this protocol unreasonably hazardous; Current > grade 1 peripheral neuropathy; Prior solid organ transplantation; Patients with known or suspected history of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH); Patients with history of confirmed progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML); Currently active or uncontrolled autoimmune disease; Patients with a history of autoimmune-related hypothyroidism on a stable dose of thyroid replacement hormone may be eligible; Patients with controlled type 1 diabetes mellitus who are on an insulin regimen are eligible for the study; Patients with a history of disease-related immune thrombocytopenic purpura, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, or other stable autoimmune diseases may be eligible

About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of mosunetuzumab when given together with polatuzumab vedotin and lenalidomide in treating patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Mosunetuzumab and polatuzumab vedotin are monoclonal antibodies that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Polatuzumab, linked to a toxic agent called vedotin, attaches to CD79B positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. Lenalidomide may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing and by preventing the growth of new blood vessels that cancer cells need to grow. Giving mosunetuzumab with polatuzumab vedotin and lenalidomide may work better in treating patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL.

The group in the trial

  • Treatment (mosunetuzumab, polatuzumab vedotin, lenalidomide)Treatment being tested

    Patients receive mosunetuzumab IV over 2-4 hours on days 1, 8, and 15 of cycle 1 and then day 1 of each subsequent cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days for 8 cycles in patients who achieve a CR or up to 17 cycles for patients with a PR or SD in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also receive polatuzumab vedotin IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1 of each cycle and lenalidomide PO on days 1-21 of each cycle. Cycles of polatuzumab vedotin repeat every 28 days for up to 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cycles of lenalidomide repeat every 28 days for 8 cycles in patients who achieve CR, or up to 17 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo PET/CT and blood sample collection throughout the study.

    Treatment: Biospecimen Collection, Computed Tomography, Lenalidomide, Mosunetuzumab, Polatuzumab Vedotin, and Positron Emission Tomography
