Testing Drug Treatments After CAR T-cell Therapy in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma
brief summary
This phase II trial tests whether mosunetuzumab and/or polatuzumab vedotin helps benefit patients who have received chemotherapy (fludarabine and cyclophosphamide) followed by chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy (tisagenlecleucel, axicabtagene ciloleucel, or lisocabtagene maraleucel) for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that has come back (recurrent) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory) or grade IIIb follicular lymphoma. Mosunetuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Polatuzumab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, called polatuzumab, linked to a drug called vedotin. Polatuzumab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, and delivers vedotin to kill them. Chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, 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. CAR T-cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. T cells are taken from a patient's blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein on the patient's cancer cells is added to the T cells in the laboratory. The special receptor is called a chimeric antigen receptor. Large numbers of the CAR T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. Giving mosunetuzumab and/or polatuzumab vedotin after chemotherapy and CAR T-cell therapy may be more effective at controlling or shrinking the cancer than not giving them.
detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To compare the progression-free survival in participants with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma or follicular lymphoma grade 3B with stable disease (SD) or partial remission (PR) on first imaging response by central review (day +30 positron emission tomography \[PET\]/computed tomography \[CT\] scan) after commercial CD19 CAR T-cell therapy who are randomized to receive each consolidation therapy versus those that receive no consolidation therapy (i.e. control).
Ia. Specifically, to compare the progression free survival (PFS) of 1) mosunetuzumab consolidation to no consolidation, 2) polatuzumab vedotin consolidation to no consolidation, 3) mosunetuzumab + polatuzumab vedotin to no consolidation.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To compare overall survival (OS) in participants randomized to each consolidation treatment arm versus control.
II. To compare the complete remission (CR) conversion rate up to one year in participants randomized to each consolidation arm versus control.
III. To evaluate the treatment-related adverse events in participants randomized to each consolidation arm.
IV. To evaluate the association between total metabolic tumor volume (TMTV), standardized uptake value (SUV) max, and sum product (SPD) of diameters by PET-CT at first imaging response with complete remission conversion up to one year in participants randomized to each consolidation arm as well as those randomized to control.
V. To evaluate the overall response rate (ORR), CR rate, PFS, and OS of participants randomized to Arm 4 (observation) who have lymphoma progression within 12 months of CAR T-cell infusion and subsequently 'cross-over' to receive treatment with mosunetuzumab + polatuzumab vedotin.
VI. To estimate overall survival for all patients registered to this study. VII. To assess the difference in overall survival between participants who achieved CR at first imaging (day +30) versus those who did not achieve CR at first imaging.
BANKING OBJECTIVES:
I. To bank specimens for future correlative studies. II. To bank PET-CT images for future correlative studies.
