What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
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
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
Measured: 24 weeks from date of first infusion of investigational agent
Secondary outcomes (1)
Determine Response Duration
Average length of response in months of any partial or complete metabolic responses
Measured: from time of first response assessment to up to five years from last dose of bispecific antibody therapy

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing mosunetuzumab, glofitamab and obinutuzumab in people with Large B-cell Lymphoma and DLBCL - Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma, run by Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine at 2 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
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). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Sep 2026.
