A Phase 2 Study of Mosunetuzumab With Polatuzumab Vedotin in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Follicular Lymphoma

Description

This phase II trial tests how well mosunetuzumab and polatuzumab vedotin works in treating patients with grade 1-3a follicular lymphoma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Mosunetuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. 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. Giving mosunetuzumab and polatuzumab vedotin may kill more cancer cells in patients with relapsed or refractory grade 1-3a follicular lymphoma.PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the safety and tolerability of mosunetuzumab plus polatuzumab vedotin in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL). (Safety lead-in) II. Estimate the complete response (CR) rate to mosunetuzumab plus polatuzumab vedotin in R/R F
