A Trial of Polatuzumab Vedotin, Obinutuzumab and Glofitamab as a Peri-CAR-T Cell Treatment Strategy in Large B-cell Lymphoma

• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Trial end date: 2028-07-31
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The PORTAL study will test a new combination of drugs (glofitamab, polatuzumab vedotin and obinutuzumab) in patients with large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) that has come back (relapsed) or not responded to previous treatment. It will determine how safe and effective the combination of these cancer drugs is in treating LBCL before and after CAR-T cell therapy.

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: University College, London
• Collaborator: Hoffmann-La Roche
• Treatments: Obinutuzumab; Polatuzumab vedotin

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• Part 1: Relapsed or refractory disease and eligible for CAR T-cell therapy in the UK and in need of systemic bridging in the opinion of the local investigator.

• Part 2: Failed to achieve CMR (Deauville score 1-3) on PET scan 1-month post CAR-T or progressed at any point post CAR-T (patients in part 2 may have been previously enrolled in Part 1 and responded to Pola-Glofit bridging or be de novo patients who are naïve to this combination)
