Testing the Anti-cancer Drug, Glofitamab, in Patients With Mantle Cell Lymphoma (A Type of Blood Cancer) Whose Disease Returned After CAR-T Cell Therapy

This phase II trial tests the safety and side effects of glofitamab and obinutuzumab and how well they work in treating patients with mantle cell lymphoma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory) after receiving CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. CAR T-cell therapy is a form of immunotherapy where the immune system cell, T-cell, is changed to attack cancer cells. Glofitamab is a bispecific antibody that can bind to two different antigens at the same time. Glofitamab binds to CD3, a protein found on T cells (a type of white blood cell), and CD20 a protein found on B cells (another type of white blood cell) and some lymphoma cells. This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. Obinutuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Giving glofitamab and obinutuzumab may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma after receiving CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy.

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma that is relapsed (disease progression after the last treatment regimen) or refractory (failure to achieve a partial or complete response from the last treatment regimen)

Patients must have been previously treated with an anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy and have failed or been intolerant to Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibition. Both commercial and investigational CAR-T products which target CD19 will be allowed, including dual-targeting products

Patients must have at least one bi-dimensionally measurable (defined as at least 1.5 cm) nodal lesion or one bi-dimensionally measurable (at least 1 cm) extranodal lesion, as measured on CT scan

Age 18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event (AE) data are currently available on the use of glofitamab and obinutuzumab in patients 18 years of age, children are excluded from this study

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 2 (Karnofsky 60%)

Absolute neutrophil count 1,000/mcL

Platelets 50,000/mcL

Total bilirubin 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) or 3 x institutional ULN if the patient has Gilbert syndrome

Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)(serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT)(serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase \[SGPT\]) 3 x institutional ULN

Creatinine 1.5 x institutional ULN OR glomerular filtration rate (GFR) 60 mL/min/1.73 m\^2

Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are eligible if on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months

Patients with a history of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection or positive total hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) are eligible if the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is negative and HBV DNA viral load is undetectable by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) at the time of screening. Such patients must be managed with appropriate anti-viral therapy, if indicated, and must be willing to undergo HBV DNA testing on day 1 of each cycle and every 3 months for at least 12 months after the final cycle of study treatment

Patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection or positive HCV antibody are eligible if HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) viral load is undetectable by PCR

Patients with treated brain metastases are eligible if follow-up brain imaging after central nervous system (CNS)-directed therapy shows no evidence of progression and patients are asymptomatic from CNS involvement

Patients with new, progressive brain metastases (active brain metastases) or leptomeningeal disease are eligible if the treating physician determines that patients are asymptomatic and immediate CNS specific treatment is not required and is unlikely to be required during the first cycle of therapy

Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial, such as patients with prostate cancer or breast cancer receiving hormonal therapy

The effects of glofitamab and obinutuzumab on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason and because glofitamab and obinutuzumab are known to be teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. 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. Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and 2 months after completion of glofitamab and 6 months after completion of obinutuzumab administration. Women of childbearing potential must use effective contraceptive precautions 2 months after completion of glofitamab treatment and 18 months after the last dose of obinutuzumab treatment

Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Legally authorized representatives may sign and give informed consent on behalf of study participants



Exclusion Criteria:

Patients who have not recovered from AEs due to prior anti-cancer therapy (i.e., have residual toxicities > grade 1) with the exception of alopecia

Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents

History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to glofitamab and obinutuzumab

Pregnant women are excluded from this study because glofitamab and obinutuzumab are agents with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for AEs in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with glofitamab and obinutuzumab, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with glofitamab and obinutuzumab
