Brief Summary

This is a multi-center, phase II, prospective study. The main purpose of study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Glofitamab plus Polatuzumab vedotin and Zuberitamab in patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Detailed Description

Nearly 1/3 of newly diagnosed DLBCL patients are over 75 years old, with a median age of 66. The number and proportion of patients unable to tolerate conventional immunochemotherapy continue to rise. Serious long-term toxicities associated with chemotherapy (e.g., reproductive effects, secondary malignancies) have created substantial clinical demand for first-line chemotherapy-free regimens. There is an urgent need for more clinical trials to explore the feasibility of chemo-free or chemo-light regimens in previously untreated DLBCL.

The Smart Stop study from MD Anderson is currently exploring chemotherapy-free, response-adapted therapy based on LTRA (Lymphoma Treatment Response Assessment) protocols. Meanwhile, the MOLTO study demonstrated that atezolizumab combined with venetoclax and obinutuzumab provides effective and well-tolerated treatment for previously untreated transformed DLBCL. This evidence above supports chemo-free or chemo-light regimens as a promising new direction for investigation in previously untreated DLBCL.

Early data suggest that Glofit + Pola-R-CHP in 1L DLBCL has promising efficacy and a similar safety profile to Pola-R-CHP and Glofit + R-CHOP.

This is a multi-center, phase II, prospective study. The main purpose of study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Glofitamab plus Polatuzumab vedotin and Zuberitamab in patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. After receiving 3 cycles of Glofitamab plus Polatuzumab vedotin and Zuberitamab（Anti-CD20 Monoclonal Antibody）, patients were treated with Glofitamab plus Polatuzumab vedotin and Zuberitamab for 5 cycles if CR or Glofitamab plus Polatuzumab vedotin and Zuberitamab-CHP for 6 cycles if PR/SD based on iPET status. The primary efficacy endpoint is CR rate at C4D1.
