Description

This phase II trial tests whether mosunetuzumab and/or polatuzumab vedotin helps benefit patients who have received chemotherapy (fludarabine and cyclophosphamide) followed by chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy (tisagenlecleucel, axicabtagene ciloleucel, or lisocabtagene maraleucel) for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that has come back (recurrent) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory) or grade IIIb follicular lymphoma. Mosunetuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Polatuzumab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, called polatuzumab, linked to a drug called vedotin. Polatuzumab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, and delivers vedotin to kill them. Chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. CAR T-cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. T cells are taken from a patient's blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein on the patient's cancer cells is added to the T cells in the laboratory. The special receptor is called a chimeric antigen receptor. Large numbers of the CAR T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. Giving mosunetuzumab and/or polatuzumab vedotin after chemotherapy and CAR T-cell therapy may be more effective at controlling or shrinking the cancer than not giving them.

However, participants must not receive polatuzumab vedotin, and/or mosunetuzumab as part of bridging therapy. * Bridging therapy is defined as lymphoma directed therapy administered between leukapheresis and the start of LD chemotherapy. This includes cytotoxic chemotherapy (e.g.: bendamustine and rituximab \[BR\], rituximab, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin \[R-gem/ox\]), radiation, corticosteroids, as well as novel therapies such as BTK inhibitors (e.g.: Ibrutinib), immunomodulators (e.g.: lenalidomide), monoclonal antibodies (e.g.: rituximab, obinutuzumab, tafasitamab) antibody drug conjugates (e.g: loncastuximab), checkpoint inhibitors (e.g.: pembrolizumab, nivolumab), clinical trial treatments, etc. * If a participant receives polatuzumab vedotin or mosunetuzumab as bridging they will ineligible to continue on step 1 registration portion of the study and be ineligible for step 2 randomization * STEP 1: REGISTRATION: PET-CT scan must be planned for completion within 60 days prior to the start of LD chemotherapy. * All pre-CAR T-cell therapy disease must be assessed and documented on the baseline/pre-registration tumor assessment form. * If receiving bridging therapy, participants must have a PET-CT scan upon completion of all planned bridging therapy. If the PET-CT scan after completion of bridging therapy is consistent with complete remission per Lugano criteria as determined by enrolling physician, that participant will be ineligible for step 2 randomization. * Participants are permitted to receive corticosteroids after leukapheresis without the need to repeat a PET-CT scan. If steroids are used, they must be planned to stop no later than 3 days before CAR -T cell infusion. * If response assessment by central review cannot be completed (I.e., poor quality of PET-CT scan, PET-CT performed out of window, etc.) this would be recorded as 'inadequate assessment' and patient would not be eligible for randomization * STEP 1: REGISTRATION: Participants that have previously been treated with polatuzumab vedotin or mosunetuzumab prior to CAR T-cell leukapheresis for either indolent or aggressive NHL are eligible as long as the participant did not have refractory disease or progression/relapse within 6 months of the last infusion with either agent * STEP 1: REGISTRATION: Participants must be planning to receive CAR T-cell infusion no earlier than 2 days and no later than 14 days after completion of the last day of lymphodepleting chemotherapy.
