About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Multicenter, Randomized Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Glofitamab in Combination With Gemcitabine Plus Oxaliplatin Versus Standard of Care in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of glofitamab in combination with gemcitabine plus oxaliplatin (GemOx) versus standard of care (SOC) in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL) who have relapsed early (within 1 year) or are primary refractory to first-line therapy. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either the Glofitamab-GemOx combination regimen or SOC. The SOC arm consists of investigator's choice of salvage chemoimmunotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) for eligible patients. The primary endpoint of the study is event-free survival (EFS).

Being tested
Obinutuzumab, Glofitamab, Gemcitabine, Oxaliplatin, Salvage Chemotherapy (Investigator's Choice)
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ObinutuzumabDrug

    A single 1000 mg dose is administered intravenously as pretreatment on Day 1 of Cycle 1 (7 days prior to the first glofitamab dose) to deplete peripheral B-cells and mitigate the risk of cytokine release syndrome (CRS).

  • GlofitamabDrug

    Glofitamab is administered intravenously using a step-up dosing schedule to mitigate CRS:

    Cycle 1 Day 8: 2.5 mg. Cycle 1 Day 15: 10 mg. Cycle 2-12 Day 1: 30 mg (target dose). Treatment continues for a maximum of 12 cycles (21-day cycles) or until disease progression/unacceptable toxicity.

  • GemcitabineDrug

    Administered intravenously at 1000 mg/m² on Day 2 of Cycle 1, and then on Day 1 or 2 of subsequent cycles (Cycles 2-8).

  • OxaliplatinDrug

    Administered intravenously at 100 mg/m² on Day 2 of Cycle 1, and then on Day 1 or 2 of subsequent cycles (Cycles 2-8).

  • Salvage Chemotherapy (Investigator's Choice)Drug

    Participants in the SOC arm will receive up to 2 cycles of investigator's choice salvage therapy among the following regimens: ICE ± R, DHAP ± R, GDP ± R, ESHAP ± R, GemOx ± R, or MINE ± R .

  • Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (ASCT)Drug

    Participants in the SOC arm who achieve a CR or PR after salvage therapy will proceed to ASCT. This includes a conditioning regimen (e.g., BEAM) followed by autologous stem cell rescue and a recovery period.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Event-Free Survival (EFS)

    EFS is defined as the time from randomization to the earliest date of disease progression according to the Lugano Classification (2014), commencement of new anti-lymphoma therapy, or death from any cause, as determined by the investigator.

    Measured: From randomization until the first occurrence of an EFS event (disease progression, new therapy, or death), assessed up to approximately 48 months.

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Complete Response (CR) Rate

    The proportion of participants whose best overall response is a CR on PET/CT or diagnostic CT during the study, as determined by the investigator according to the 2014 Lugano Response Criteria.

    Measured: From randomization to the end of study, up to approximately 48 months.

  2. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    The proportion of participants whose best overall response is a Partial Response (PR) or a Complete Response (CR) during the study, as determined by the investigator according to the 2014 Lugano Response Criteria.

    Measured: From randomization to the end of study, up to approximately 48 months.

  3. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    The time from randomization to the first occurrence of disease progression according to the 2014 Lugano Response Criteria or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, as determined by the investigator.

    Measured: From randomization until disease progression or death, assessed up to approximately 48 months.

  4. Duration of Response (DOR)

    The time from the first occurrence of a documented objective response (CR or PR) to disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: From the date of first documented objective response until disease progression or death, assessed up to approximately 48 months.

  5. Duration of Complete Response (DOCR)

    The time from the first occurrence of a documented CR to disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: From the date of first documented CR until disease progression or death, assessed up to approximately 48 months.

  6. Overall Survival (OS)

    The time from randomization to the date of death from any cause.

    Measured: From randomization until death, assessed up to approximately 48 months.

  7. Incidence and Severity of Adverse Events (AEs)

    Safety and tolerability evaluated by the incidence and severity of AEs. Severity is determined according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, Version 5.0 (NCI CTCAE v5.0). Specific events such as CRS, Immune Effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome (ICANS), and Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) will be graded according to ASTCT criteria.

    Measured: From the initiation of study treatment up to 35 days after the final dose or initiation of new anti-lymphoma therapy, with long-term monitoring for specific AEs, assessed up to approximately 48 months.

  8. Change from Baseline in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) Score

    The EORTC QLQ-C30 assesses 5 functional scales, 3 symptom scales, a global health/quality of life (QoL) scale, and 6 single items. The first 28 items are scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 1 ("not at all") to 4 ("very much"). The final 2 global health/QoL items are scored on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 ("very poor") to 7 ("excellent"). Higher scores on the global health/QoL and functional scales indicate a better level of functioning and better HRQoL (a better outcome). Conversely, higher scores on the symptom scales/items indicate higher symptom severity (a worse outcome).

    Measured: Baseline up to approximately 48 months.

  9. Change from Baseline in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lymphoma Symptoms Subscale (FACT-Lym LymS) Score

    The FACT-Lym LymS assesses health-related quality of life aspects relevant to lymphoma patients using a 15-item lymphoma-specific symptoms scale. Each item is rated on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 ("not at all") to 4 ("very much"). Higher total scores are indicative of better health-related quality of life (a better outcome).

    Measured: Baseline up to approximately 48 months.

  10. Change from Baseline in EuroQoL-5 Dimension-5 Level (EQ-5D-5L) Score

    The EQ-5D-5L is a health status questionnaire containing a five-item descriptive system (assessing mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) and a Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The VAS measures the patient's self-rated health on a vertical scale ranging from 0 ("worst imaginable health state") to 100 ("best imaginable health state"). A published weighting system is used to create a single composite score of the patient's health status. Higher scores on the VAS and the composite utility score indicate a better health status (a better outcome).

    Measured: Baseline up to approximately 48 months.

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Obinutuzumab, Glofitamab and Gemcitabine in people with Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), run by The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University at 1 site in China.

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 16 inclusion and 30 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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?

Contact Changju Qu (+86-512-67975805, qcj310@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Event-Free Survival (EFS) (time frame: From randomization until the first occurrence of an EFS event (disease progression, new therapy, or death), assessed up to approximately 48 months.). 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 13 Jul 2026.
