Clinical Trial Summary

This phase II trial tests the effects of mosunetuzumab with or without polatuzumab vedotin and obinutuzumab for the treatment of patients with indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Mosunetuzumab and obinutuzumab are monoclonal antibodies that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Polatuzumab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, called polatuzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called vedotin. Polatuzumab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as CD79b receptors, and delivers vedotin to kill them. Giving mosunetuzumab with polatuzumab vedotin and obinutuzumab may work better in treating patients with untreated indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Description:

OUTLINE: PART A: Patients receive mosunetuzumab subcutaneously (SC) over 30 seconds-2 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15 of cycle 1 and day 1 of subsequent cycles. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 8 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. PART B: Beginning cycle 9, patients who do not achieve a CR receive obinutuzumab intravenously (IV) on day 1 of cycle 9 and day 1 of subsequent cycles and polatuzumab vedotin IV on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 day for 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for up to 5 years.

• Be >= 18 years of age on day of signing informed consent
• Have measurable fludeoxyglucose F-18 (FDG)-avid nodal disease, including at least 1 disease site measuring at least 1.5 cm in longest dimension on computed tomography (CT) or FDG-positron emission tomography (PET), or FDG-avid extra nodal measurable site measuring at least 1.0 cm in longest dimension

• Serum total bilirubin =< 1.5 X upper limit of normal (ULN) (Patients with documented Gilbert disease may be enrolled if total bilirubin =< 3.0 x ULN) or OR direct bilirubin =< ULN for subjects with total bilirubin levels > 1.5 ULN
• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT]) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT)] (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase [SGPT]) =< 2.5 X ULN OR =< 5 X ULN for subjects with liver involvement

• For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive methods that result in a failure rate of =< 1% per year during the treatment period and for at least 3 months after the last dose mosunutuzimab or 6 months after the last dose of obinutuzumab. Women must refrain from donating eggs during this same period. A woman is considered to be of childbearing potential if she is post-menarcheal, has not reached a postmenopausal state ( =< 12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause), and has not undergone surgical sterilization (removal of ovaries and/or uterus). The definition of childbearing potential may be adapted for alignment with local guidelines or requirements. Examples of contraceptive methods with a failure rate of =< 1% per year include bilateral tubal ligation, male sterilization, hormonal contraceptives that inhibit ovulation, hormone-releasing intrauterine devices, and copper intrauterine devices. The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception
• For women of childbearing potential, a negative serum pregnancy test result during screening period. Women who are considered not to be of childbearing potential are not required to have a pregnancy test
• For men: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use a condom, and agreement to refrain from donating sperm, as defined below: With female partners of childbearing potential or pregnant female partners, men must remain abstinent or use a condom during the treatment period and for at least 5 months after the last treatment. Men must refrain from donating sperm during this same period. The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or post ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of preventing drug exposure. Male patients considering preservation of fertility should bank sperm before study treatment
• Patients on agents that modulate CYP3A4 should be aware that these agents are prohibited if they require treatment in Part B, and require discontinuation for at least 5 half-lives in order to proceed with Part B
