What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Polatuzumab VedotinDrug
Also called POLIVY ®
Polatuzumab vedotin will be administered at the discretion of the physician per local clinical practice and local labeling.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Cohort 1 | Unfit/frail participants with DLBCL who are untreated before the administration of polatuzumab and who have started receiving polatuzumab at physician's discretion in accordance with local clinical practice and/or labeling will be observed for safety and efficacy until death, withdrawal of consent, loss to follow-up or end of study whichever occurs first (up to approximately 3 years). Receives: Drug: Polatuzumab Vedotin | |
| Cohort 2 | Participants with DLBCL who can not be classified into unfit/frail but are untreated before the administration of polatuzumab and who have started receiving polatuzumab at physician's discretion in accordance with local clinical practice and/or labeling will be observed for safety and efficacy until death, withdrawal of consent, loss to follow-up or end of study whichever occurs first (up to approximately 3 years).
