A Dose Escalation Study of Glofitamab (RO7082859) as a Single Agent and in Combination With Obinutuzumab, Administered After a Fixed, Single Pre-treatment Dose of Obinutuzumab in Participants With Relapsed/Refractory B-cell Non-hodgkin's Lymphoma

A Multicenter, Open-label, Phase I/II Study to Evaluate the Safety, Efficacy, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Escalating Doses of Glofitamab (RO7082859) as a Single Agent and in Combination With Obinutuzumab Administered After a Fixed, Single Dose Pre-treatment of Obinutuzumab (Gazyva®/Gazyvaro™) in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory B-cell Non-hodgkin's Lymphoma

This is a Phase I/II, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of a novel T-Cell bispecific (TCB), glofitamab, administered by intravenous (IV) infusion as a single agent and in combination with obinutuzumab, following pre-treatment with a one-time, fixed dose of obinutuzumab. This entry-into-human (EIH) study is divided in 3 parts: dose escalation (Parts I and II) and dose expansion (Part III). Single-participant dose-escalation cohorts will be used in Part I, followed by conversion to multiple participant dose-escalation cohorts (Part II), in order to define a tentative maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or optimal biological dose (OBD). The expansion cohorts (Part III) will be initiated when the tentative MTD/OBD is defined, to further evaluate the safety, PK and therapeutic activity of glofitamab.
