The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability ofmosunetuzumab combined with CHOP in patients with untreated DLBCL-RS syndrome,identifying biological factors to address the probability of response.In addition, efficacy and tolerability of maintenance with mosunetuzumab in patients notreceiving an allo-SCT will be ascertained.
The primary study objective and associated endpoint is to evaluate the efficacy of
mosunetuzumab combined with CHOP (M-CHOP) after the end of induction (EoI) in patients
with RS who have never received therapy.
Primary endpoint will be complete remission (CR) evaluated by an independent review
committee according to modified Lugano classification using PET/CT scan after the EoI
visit. CR is defined as a score of 1, 2 or 3 for lymph nodes and extra-lymphatic sites at
PET without new lesions and no evidence of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-avid disease in bone
marrow. All PET evaluable in patients with at least one dose of mosunetuzumab will be
included in the efficacy population.
The secondary study objectives and associated endpoints are:
- To evaluate the efficacy of mosunetuzumab combined with CHOP (M-CHOP) after the end
of induction (EoI) and maintenance (EoM) in patients with therapy naive RS.
- Overall response rate (ORR), defined as the proportion of participants with a
complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) at the end of induction (EoI) and
maintenance (EoM), as determined by local and independent review committee according
to modified Lugano classification using PET/CT scan and IWCLL criteria (Hallek
2018).
- Complete remission (CR) at the EoM will be defined as a score of 1, 2 or 3 (no
uptake above background) for lymph nodes and extralymphatic sites at PET without new
lesions and no evidence of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-avid disease in bone marrow. In
addition, patients need to have a normal blood count with
normal/immunohistochemistry (IHC)-negative bone marrow morphology as per iwCLL
criteria (Hallek 2018). All PET evaluable patients with at least one dose of
mosunetuzumab will be included in the efficacy population.
- Best overall response: the best response is defined as the achievement of a PET
score of 1-3 associated with a normal blood count with normal/immunohistochemistry
(IHC)-negative bone marrow morphology as per iwCLL criteria, or a PET score of 1-3
associated with incomplete recovery in blood and normal/immunohistochemistry
(IHC)-negative bone marrow morphology evaluated at any time during the treatment
induction or maintenance, whichever occurs first.
- Minimal residual disease (MRD) response rate determined by the proportion of
patients with MRD-negativity (defined as < 1 CLL cell in 10,000 leukocytes),
assessed by flow cytometry in responders (CR/PR) in peripheral blood (PB) and/or
bone marrow (BM) after the EoI and EoM.
- Progression free survival (PFS), defined as the time from the first study treatment
to the first occurrence of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever
occurs first. PFS will be assessed by the investigator, using the Lugano criteria.
- Overall survival (OS), defined as the time from first dose to death from any cause.
- Duration of response (DoR), defined as the time from best overall response (the
first occurrence of a documented objective response) to disease progression by
Lugano criteria or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
To determine the incidence and severity of adverse events
- Incidence of adverse events (AEs): number and percentage of patients with 1 or more
AE.
- Severity of AEs according to NCI CTCAE v5.0. For events of CSR, severity will be
determined by ASTCT CSR consensus grading criteria. For events of TLS, the presence
of laboratory and/or clinical TLS will be determined according to Howard criteria.
To evaluate the study treatment exposure:
- Treatment duration
- Total dose received
- Number of cycles and dose modifications
- Treatment interruptions and discontinuations
