Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants With Adverse Events in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) Population
An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events. AEs were reported based on the national cancer institute common terminology criteria for AEs, Version 4.0 (NCI-CTCAE, v4.0). Reported are the number of subjects with AEs, Grade 3-5 AEs, and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs).
Number of Participants With Adverse Events in Non-DLBCL Population

Reported are the number of subjects with AEs, Grade 3-5 AEs, and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs).
Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) in DLBCL Population
All dose-escalation cohorts will consist of at least 3 participants. If a DLT is observed in 1 participant at a given dose level during the DLT observation period before dose escalation, additional participants will be enrolled at that dose level for a total of at least 6 participants. DLT assessment forms part of determining the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD). The highest dose level resulting in DLTs in less than one-third of a minimum of 6 participants will be declared the MTD.
Number of Participants With DLTs in Non-DLBCL Population
All dose-escalation cohorts will consist of at least 3 participants. If a DLT is observed in 1 participant at a given dose level during the DLT observation period before dose escalation, additional participants will be enrolled at that dose level for a total of at least 6 participants. DLT assessment forms part of determining the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD). The highest dose level resulting in DLTs in less than one-third of a minimum of 6 participants will be declared the MTD.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Percentage of Participants With Objective Response (CR or Partial Response [PR]), as Assessed by Investigator Using Cheson Criteria for DLBCL Population
Complete Response (CR) rate was defined as the percentage of participants with CR at the end of treatment, as assessed by the investigator, with and without FDG-PET. The overall response rate was defined as the percentage of participants with CR or PR at the end of treatment, as assessed by the investigator, with and without FDG-PET.
Percentage of Participants With Objective Response (CR or Partial Response [PR]), as Assessed by Investigator Using Cheson Criteria for Non-DLBCL Population
Complete Response (CR) rate was defined as the percentage of participants with CR at the end of treatment, as assessed by the investigator, with and without FDG-PET. The overall response rate was defined as the percentage of participants with CR or PR at the end of treatment, as assessed by the investigator, with and without FDG-PET.
Number of Participants With Anti-Polatuzumab Vedotin Antibodies
The Anti-Drug Antibody (ADA) screening assay was optimized to tolerate drug interference and was able to detect 90 and 500 ng/mL of the positive control sample in the presence of 20 μg/mL of polatuzumab vedotin. Polatuzumab vedotin total antibody concentrations were determined for each ADA sample. Out of a total of 186 ADA samples that were measured for polatuzumab vedotin total antibody, 184 samples had levels less than 20 μg/mL. Polatuzumab vedotin total antibody concentrations ranged from <0.050 μg/mL to 52.1 μg/mL with a median concentration of 3.38 μg/mL.
Number of Participants With Anti-Obinutuzumab Antibodies
The ADA screening assay was optimized to tolerate drug interference and was able to detect 500 ng/mL of the ADA-positive control sample in the presence of 50 micrograms/mL of obinutuzumab. Obinutuzumab concentrations were determined for each ADA sample. Out of a total of 48 ADA samples that were measured for obinutuzumab, 9 samples had levels less than 50 micrograms/mL of obinutuzumab. Obinutuzumab concentrations in ADA samples ranged from 0.282 micrograms/mL to 522 micrograms/mL with a median concentration of 210 micrograms/mL. Therefore, it is possible that samples with obinutuzumab concentrations greater than 50 micrograms/mL might be false negative for ADA.
Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) of Polatuzumab Vedotin
AUC information for Polatuzumab Vedotin was estimated from serum concentration data using non-compartmental analysis.
Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Polatuzumab Vedotin
Cmax for Polatuzumab Vedotin was estimated from serum concentration data using non-compartmental analysis.
Clearance (CL) of Polatuzumab Vedotin
CL for Polatuzumab Vedotin was estimated from serum concentration data using non-compartmental analysis.
Terminal Half-Life (t1/2) of Polatuzumab Vedotin
t1/2 for Polatuzumab Vedotin was estimated from serum concentration data using non-compartmental analysis.
Steady-State Volume of Distribution (Vss) of Polatuzumab Vedotin
Vss for Polatuzumab Vedotin was estimated from serum concentration data using non-compartmental analysis.
Plasma Levels of Cyclophosphamide
Plasma levels of cyclophosphamide will be assessed and compared at the same timepoints of Cycle 1 (in the absence of polatuzumab vedotin) and Cycle 3 (in the presence of polatuzumab vedotin), and compared with historical data to evaluate potential PK interactions with polatuzumab vedotin.
Plasma Levels of Doxorubicin
Plasma levels of doxorubicin will be assessed and compared at the same timepoints of Cycle 1 (in the absence of polatuzumab vedotin) and Cycle 3 (in the presence of polatuzumab vedotin), and compared with historical data to evaluate potential PK interactions with polatuzumab vedotin.
Peripheral Neuropathy Symptom Severity: Therapy-Induced Neuropathy Assessment Scale (TINAS) Overall Neuropathy Severity Score
The TINAS is an 11-item questionnaire scored on a 0 to 10 scale, with 0 being the symptom is not present to 10 being the symptom is as bad as the participant can imagine. The questionnaire will be analyzed for the individual neuropathy symptoms experienced by a participant as well as the calculation of an overall neuropathy severity score. The TINAS scale will be completed daily over the course of study treatment. Additionally, to collect information about the reversibility of peripheral neuropathy, the TINAS will be completed once a week for the first 2 months, then once a month for the next 10 months following treatment completion. Results are only being reported here up until the End of Treatment visit (duration of Study treatment).
Peripheral Neuropathy Symptom Interference: TINAS Numbness/Tingling Item Score
The TINAS is an 11-item questionnaire scored on a 0 to 10 scale, with 0 being the symptom is not present to 10 being the symptom is as bad as the patient can imagine. The questionnaire will be analyzed for the individual neuropathy symptoms experienced by a participant as well as the calculation of an overall neuropathy severity score. The TINAS scale will be completed daily over the course of study treatment. Additionally, to collect information about the reversibility of peripheral neuropathy, the TINAS will be completed once a week for the first 2 months, then once a month for the next 10 months following treatment completion. Additionally, a single item that asks patients to rate when numbness and tingling was at the worst will be used to predict the onset of peripheral neuropathy. The measure takes less than 5 minutes to complete. Results are only being reported here up until the End of Treatment visit (duration of Study treatment).
Duration of Response, as Assessed by Investigator Using Cheson Criteria for DLBCL Population
Time from the date of the first occurrence of a documented CR or PR to the date of disease progression, relapse or death from any cause (PFS), as assessed by the investigator for the subgroup of participants with a best overall response of CR or PR. For participants achieving a response who did not experience disease progression, relapse, or died prior to the time of the analysis, the DOR was censored on the date of last disease assessment.
Duration of Response, as Assessed by Investigator Using Cheson Criteria for Non-DLBCL Population
Time from the date of the first occurrence of a documented CR or PR to the date of disease progression, relapse or death from any cause (PFS), as assessed by the investigator for the subgroup of participants with a best overall response of CR or PR. For participants achieving a response who did not experience disease progression, relapse, or died prior to the time of the analysis, the DOR was censored on the date of last disease assessment.
Progression Free Survival, as Assessed by Investigator Using Cheson Criteria for DLBCL Population
Time from date of first dose of study drug (Day 1) to the first occurrence of progression or relapse, or death from any cause while in the study, as assessed by the investigator. If a participant did not experience progressive disease or death, PFS was censored on the day of the last tumor assessment. If a post-baseline assessment was not available, PFS was censored on Day 1.
Progression Free Survival, as Assessed by Investigator Using Cheson Criteria for Non-DLBCL Population
Time from date of first dose of study drug (Day 1) to the first occurrence of progression or relapse, or death from any cause while in the study, as assessed by the investigator. If a participant did not experience progressive disease or death, PFS was censored on the day of the last tumor assessment. If a post-baseline assessment was not available, PFS was censored on Day 1.
Event Free Survival, as Assessed by Investigator Using Cheson Criteria for DLBCL Population
Time from randomization to disease progression or relapse, as assessed by the investigator, death from any cause, or initiation of any new anti-lymphoma therapy (NALT). If the specified event (disease progression or relapse, death, initiation of a NALT) did not occur, EFS was censored at the date of last tumor assessment. For participants without an event who did not have post-baseline tumor assessments, EFS was censored at the time of randomization.
Event Free Survival, as Assessed by Investigator Using Cheson Criteria for Non-DLBCL Population
Time from randomization to disease progression or relapse, as assessed by the investigator, death from any cause, or initiation of any new anti-lymphoma therapy (NALT). If the specified event (disease progression or relapse, death, initiation of a NALT) did not occur, EFS was censored at the date of last tumor assessment. For participants without an event who did not have post-baseline tumor assessments, EFS was censored at the time of randomization.
Relative Dose Intensity of Polatuzumab Vedotin (Ratio of the Amount of Drug Actually Administered to the Amount Planned) for DLBCL Population
Relative dose intensity (DI) was defined as the ratio of the amount of a drug actually administered (actual DI) to the amount planned (planned DI) for a fixed time period, expressed as a percentage.
Relative Dose Intensity of Polatuzumab Vedotin (Ratio of the Amount of Drug Actually Administered to the Amount Planned) for Non-DLBCL Population
Relative dose intensity (DI) was defined as the ratio of the amount of a drug actually administered (actual DI) to the amount planned (planned DI) for a fixed time period, expressed as a percentage.
Overall Survival for DLBCL Population
The time from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause. For participants who did not die at the time of the analyses, OS was censored on the last date when the participants were known to be alive.
Overall Survival for Non-DLBCL Population
The time from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause. For participants who did not die at the time of the analyses, OS was censored on the last date when the participants were known to be alive.

Brief Summary
This multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and anti-tumor activity of polatuzumab vedotin in combination with rituximab or obinutuzumab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (CHP chemotherapy) in participants with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Participants will receive escalating doses of polatuzumab vedotin intravenously (IV) every 3 weeks in combination with standard doses of rituximab plus CHP chemotherapy (R-CHP) or obinutuzumab plus CHP chemotherapy (G-CHP). Participants will be treated for a total of six or eight cycles in accordance with local institutional practice. Two parallel treatment arms will explore doses of polatuzumab vedotin in combination with R-CHP or G-CHP. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of polatuzumab vedotin in combination with R-CHP will be identified before it is combined with G-CHP. Once the MTD or RP2D is determined, polatuzumab vedotin will be dosed at MTD or RP2D -1 in combination with G-CHP to start the dose escalation of this combination.

Primary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
Number of Participants With Adverse Events in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) Population
Description
An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events. AEs were reported based on the national cancer institute common terminology criteria for AEs, Version 4.0 (NCI-CTCAE, v4.0). Reported are the number of subjects with AEs, Grade 3-5 AEs, and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs).

Title
Number of Participants With Anti-Polatuzumab Vedotin Antibodies
Description
The Anti-Drug Antibody (ADA) screening assay was optimized to tolerate drug interference and was able to detect 90 and 500 ng/mL of the positive control sample in the presence of 20 μg/mL of polatuzumab vedotin. Polatuzumab vedotin total antibody concentrations were determined for each ADA sample. Out of a total of 186 ADA samples that were measured for polatuzumab vedotin total antibody, 184 samples had levels less than 20 μg/mL. Polatuzumab vedotin total antibody concentrations ranged from <0.050 μg/mL to 52.1 μg/mL with a median concentration of 3.38 μg/mL.
Time Frame
Baseline up to Month 9 (assessed prior to polatuzumab vedotin infusion [0 hour; Hr] on Day 2 [D2] of Cy 1 and 2, D1 of Cy 4, treatment completion/early termination [Month 6], and at 3 months post-treatment [Month 9]; cycle length=21 days)
Title
Number of Participants With Anti-Obinutuzumab Antibodies
Description
The ADA screening assay was optimized to tolerate drug interference and was able to detect 500 ng/mL of the ADA-positive control sample in the presence of 50 micrograms/mL of obinutuzumab. Obinutuzumab concentrations were determined for each ADA sample. Out of a total of 48 ADA samples that were measured for obinutuzumab, 9 samples had levels less than 50 micrograms/mL of obinutuzumab. Obinutuzumab concentrations in ADA samples ranged from 0.282 micrograms/mL to 522 micrograms/mL with a median concentration of 210 micrograms/mL. Therefore, it is possible that samples with obinutuzumab concentrations greater than 50 micrograms/mL might be false negative for ADA.

Title
Peripheral Neuropathy Symptom Severity: Therapy-Induced Neuropathy Assessment Scale (TINAS) Overall Neuropathy Severity Score
Description
The TINAS is an 11-item questionnaire scored on a 0 to 10 scale, with 0 being the symptom is not present to 10 being the symptom is as bad as the participant can imagine. The questionnaire will be analyzed for the individual neuropathy symptoms experienced by a participant as well as the calculation of an overall neuropathy severity score. The TINAS scale will be completed daily over the course of study treatment. Additionally, to collect information about the reversibility of peripheral neuropathy, the TINAS will be completed once a week for the first 2 months, then once a month for the next 10 months following treatment completion. Results are only being reported here up until the End of Treatment visit (duration of Study treatment).
Time Frame
Weekly up to Month 6 (22 weeks). TINAS data were collected daily, though for the analysis purpose for each participant, only the first record of each week was selected.
Title
Peripheral Neuropathy Symptom Interference: TINAS Numbness/Tingling Item Score
Description
The TINAS is an 11-item questionnaire scored on a 0 to 10 scale, with 0 being the symptom is not present to 10 being the symptom is as bad as the patient can imagine. The questionnaire will be analyzed for the individual neuropathy symptoms experienced by a participant as well as the calculation of an overall neuropathy severity score. The TINAS scale will be completed daily over the course of study treatment. Additionally, to collect information about the reversibility of peripheral neuropathy, the TINAS will be completed once a week for the first 2 months, then once a month for the next 10 months following treatment completion. Additionally, a single item that asks patients to rate when numbness and tingling was at the worst will be used to predict the onset of peripheral neuropathy. The measure takes less than 5 minutes to complete. Results are only being reported here up until the End of Treatment visit (duration of Study treatment).
Time Frame
Weekly up to Month 6 (22 weeks). TINAS data were collected daily, though for the analysis purpose for each participant, only the first record of each week was selected.
