Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks
  • History of relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma (including transformed follicular lymphoma, and follicular lymphoma Grade 3B) who have relapsed after or failed to respond to at least two prior standard systemic treatment regimens that include at least one prior regimen containing an anthracycline and at least one containing an anti-CD20-directed therapy and for whom there is no available therapy expected to improve survival (e.g., standard chemotherapy, autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplant).
  • PET/CT scan (preferred), diagnostic CT scan, or MRI prior to CAR-T cell therapy, with at least one bi-dimensionally measurable lesion (≥ 1.5 cm for nodal lesion or ≥ 1cm for extra-nodal lesions in largest dimension by low-dose computerized tomography [CT] scan with FDG-uptake ≥ liver); this imaging must have been obtained within 56 days of receiving CAR T cell therapy.
  • PET/CT scan (preferred), diagnostic CT scan, or MRI with at least one bi-dimensionally measurable lesion (≥ 1.5 cm for nodal lesion or ≥ 1cm for extra-nodal lesions in largest dimension by low-dose computerized tomography [CT] scan with FDG-uptake ≥ liver); this imaging documenting measurable disease must be obtained at least day +30 after CAR T cell infusion and prior to cycle 1 day 1.
  • Be at least 30 days after CAR T-cell infusion at time of study enrollment.
  • Adequate laboratory studies,
  • Ability and willingness to take proper contraceptive precautions

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Had > Grade 3 cytokine release syndrome (CRS) by ASTCT criteria32 after CAR-T therapy or who have unresolved CRS after CAR-T therapy

Cohort 1

Cohort 2

Arm Description

Participants receive mosunetuzumab 60 mg for cycles 1 and 2 (although fractionated for cycle 1), and 30 mg for all subsequent cycles after standard-of-care therapy with CD19-directed CAR T-cells

Participants receive obinutuzumab (1000 mg for each subject) and glofitamab after standard-of-care therapy with CD19-directed CAR T-cells. The dose of glofitamab for each subject will be 30 mg, other than for cycle 1, which will be 12.5 mg glofitamab fractionated over two weeks.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Assessment of the percentage of subjects who achieve a complete metabolic response at 26 weeks from date of first infusion as measured by Cheson 14 (ie Lugano) criteria
Complete response will be assessed using Cheson 2014 or Lugano criteria, utilizing simple 5 point score (Deauville score). For this study complete response will be a score of 1 (no uptake), 2 (uptake ≤ mediastinum), or 3 (uptake >mediastinum but ≤ liver, with no new lesions, and no FDG-uptake in the bone marrow, that is not expected (i.e. due to growth factors or therapy

Dose limiting hematologic toxicities will be measured by the following: ANC < 1000/uL despite G-CSF support, Hgb < 7 g/dL despite transfusion support, Plt < 50,000/uL that lasts for at least 7 days Hematologic DLTS that occur within the first 60 days following CAR-T Cell therapy will not be included in this assessment.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The research study is being conducted to test the safety and effectiveness of the experimental drug mosunetuzumab (Cohort 1) or obinutuzumab and glofitamab (Cohort 2) when given after CAR (genetically modified) T cells. The study is for patients who have already received a CAR T-cell infusion. Some patients who join the study will receive mosunetuzumab, other patients later in the study may receive a different experimental drug (glofitamab, in combination with obinutuzumab).
