CAR-T Followed by Bispecific Antibodies
What this study is about
The research study is being conducted to test the safety and effectiveness of the experimental drug mosunetuzumab (group of participants 1) or obinutuzumab and glofitamab (group of participants 2) when given after CAR (genetically modified) T cells. The study is for patients who have already received a CAR T-cell infusion.
View original scientific description
The research study is being conducted to test the safety and effectiveness of the experimental drug mosunetuzumab (Cohort 1) or obinutuzumab and glofitamab (Cohort 2) when given after CAR (genetically modified) T cells. The study is for patients who have already received a CAR T-cell infusion. Some patients who join the study will receive mosunetuzumab, other patients later in the study may receive a different experimental drug (glofitamab, in combination with obinutuzumab).
Interventions
DRUG
mosunetuzumab
1 mg IV on Cycle 1 Day 1; 2 mg IV Cycle 1 Day 8; 60 mg IV Cycle 1 Day 15; 60 mg IV on Cycle 2 Day 1 and then 30 mg IV every 21 days beginning Cycle 2 Day 1 through Cycle 17.
DRUG
glofitamab
2.5 mg IV Cycle 1 Day 8; 10 mg IV Cycle 1 Day 15 then 30 mg every 21 days beginning Cycle 2 Day 1 through Cycle 12
DRUG
obinutuzumab
1000 mg IV on Cycle 1 Day 1.
Primary outcome measures
Assessment of the percentage of subjects who achieve a complete metabolic response at 24 weeks from date of first infusion as measured by Cheson 14 (ie Lugano) criteria
Time frame: 24 weeks from date of first infusion of investigational agent
Complete response will be assessed using Cheson 2014 or Lugano criteria, utilizing simple 5 point score (Deauville score). For this study complete response will be a score of 1 (no uptake), 2 (uptake ≤ mediastinum), or 3 (uptake \>mediastinum but ≤ liver, with no new lesions, and no FDG-uptake in the bone marrow, that is not expected (i.e. due to growth factors or therapy
Assessment of the percentage of subjects who experience non-hematologic dose limiting toxicity associated with early administration of glofitimab following SOC CAR-T Cell therapy.
Time frame: 63 days from the date of first infusion of glofitimab
Non-hematologic DLTs include the following: unexpected ≥grade 3 non-hematologic that is at least possibly related to the study drug, any grade 3 event that does not improve to ≤ grade 2 within 72 hours, any grade 3 AST, ALT or total bilirubin that lasts more than 72 hours in the absence of other causes, ≥ grade 3 neurotoxicity or seizure of any grade. Cytokine Relsease Syndrome: CRS grade 4, Grade 3 CRS that does not improve to ≤ grade 2 within 72 hours. Grade 1: Temperature ≥ 38°C, no hypotension, no hypoxia. Grade 2: Temperature ≥ 38°C, hypotension not requiring vasopressors and/or hypoxia requiring low flow nasal cannula. Grade 3: Temperature ≥ 38°C, hypotension requiring a vasopressor and/or requiring high flow oxygen. Grade 4: Temperature ≥ 38°C, hypotension requiring multiple vasopressor and/or requiring positive pressure, intubation or mechanical ventilation.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks
- History of relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma (including transformed follicular lymphoma, and follicular lymphoma Grade 3B) who have relapsed after or failed to respond to at least one prior standard systemic treatment regimen that contains an anthracycline and at least one containing an anti-CD20-directed therapy and for whom there is no available therapy expected to improve survival (e.g., standard chemotherapy, autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplant).
- PET/CT scan (preferred), diagnostic CT scan, or MRI prior to CAR-T cell therapy, with at least one bi-dimensionally measurable lesion (≥ 1.5 cm for nodal lesion or ≥ 1cm for extra-nodal lesions in largest dimension by low-dose computerized tomography \[CT\] scan with FDG-uptake ≥ liver); this imaging must have been obtained within 56 days of receiving CAR T cell therapy.
- PET/CT scan (preferred), diagnostic CT scan, or MRI with at least one bi-dimensional

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
