Mosunetuzumab in Combination With Platinum-Based Salvage Chemotherapy in Autologous Stem Cell Transplant-Eligible Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Aggressive B Cell Lymphoma

Mosunetuzumab in Combination With Platinum-Based Salvage Chemotherapy in Autologous Stem Cell Transplant-Eligible Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Aggressive B Cell Lymphoma

A Phase Ib Study With Expansion Cohorts Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Mosunetuzumab in Combination With Platinum-Based Salvage Chemotherapy in Autologous Stem Cell Transplant-Eligible Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Aggressive B Cell Lymphoma

This is a two-arm, open-label, phase Ib single-site study with expansion cohorts testing the addition of mosunetuzumab to intensive platinum-based salvage chemotherapy in patients with relapsed/refractory aggressive B cell lymphoma intending to pursue consolidative autoSCT. The hypothesis of this study is that mosunetuzumab can be safely combined with platinum-based salvage chemotherapy in this patient population, and that this approach may outperform chemoimmunotherapy approaches that instead incorporate rituximab retreatment. The enrolling physician's choice of the chemotherapy backbone will determine a patient's assigned study arm (Arm A = DHAX, Arm B = ICE). The two arms will accrue patients to phase Ib and expansion cohorts as well as be analyzed independently.

3 cycles (cycle=21 days) of mosunetuzumab with DHAX salvage chemotherapy (selected at the discretion of the treating physician). The first 3 patients in each arm will receive Dose Level 1 along with standard dosing of DHAX. The rate of dose-limiting toxicities will determine whether the subsequent 3 patients in each arm are enrolled at Dose Level 1, or alternatively at Dose Level -1. For patients tolerating Cycle 1 of treatment, Cycles 2 and 3 will consist of mosunetuzumab administered as a single dose on Day 1 along with DHAX. Patients will undergo PET-CT restaging prior to Cycle 3, and those achieving a CR (or PR, at their physician's discretion) will receive the Cycle 3 dose of mosunetuzumab and DHAX, followed by standard of care stem cell mobilization and autoSCT. Patients with SD or PD after restaging will discontinue study treatment.

3 cycles (cycle=21 days) of mosunetuzumab with ICE salvage chemotherapy (selected at the discretion of the treating physician). The first 3 patients in each arm will receive Dose Level 1 along with standard dosing of ICE. The rate of dose-limiting toxicities will determine whether the subsequent 3 patients in each arm are enrolled at Dose Level 1, or alternatively at Dose Level -1. For patients tolerating Cycle 1 of treatment, Cycles 2 and 3 will consist of mosunetuzumab administered as a single dose on Day 1 along with ICE. Patients will undergo PET-CT restaging prior to Cycle 3, and those achieving a CR (or PR, at their physician's discretion) will receive the Cycle 3 dose of mosunetuzumab and ICE, followed by standard of care stem cell mobilization and autoSCT. Patients with SD or PD after restaging will discontinue study treatment.
