About

To learn if giving mosunetuzumab in combination with polatuzumab vedotin, tafasitamab, and lenalidomide can help to control relapsed/refractory FL and DLBCL.

Full description

Primary Objectives:

To determine the safety of mosunetuzumab, polatuzumab vedotin, tafasitamab, and lenalidomide in relapsed/refractory NHL.

To determine the best overall response rate (ORR) of the combination of mosunetuzumab, with polatuzumab vedotin, tafasitamab, and lenalidomide in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Secondary Objectives:

Females of childbearing potential (FCBP, defined as a female of childbearing potential is a sexually mature woman who: 1) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or 2)has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months). must have a negative serum pregnancy test with a sensitivity of at least 50 mIU/mL within 10 - 14 days prior to and again within 24 hours of prescribing lenalidomide and must either commit to continued abstinence from heterosexual intercourse or begin TWO acceptable methods of birth control, one highly effective method and one additional effective method AT THE SAME TIME, at least 4 weeks before she starts taking lenalidomide. FCBP must also agree to ongoing pregnancy testing. Men must agree to use a latex condom during sexual contact with a female of childbearing potential even if they have had a successful vasectomy. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. Women must refrain from donating eggs during this same period.
