About this trial
This phase II trial tests how well odronextamab works before and after standard of care (SOC) chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy in treating patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). CAR-T cell therapy is the SOC treatment most patients receive when other treatments have failed. CAR-T cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. T cells are taken from a patient's blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein on the patient's cancer cells is added to the T cells in the laboratory. The special receptor is called a CAR. Large numbers of the CAR T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. Odronextamab is a monoclonal antibody that is called bispecific, as it individually targets 2 cell proteins, CD20 and CD3. Proteins are part of each cell in the body, which work together like little machines for the cell to function. CD20 is a protein that is found on the surface of both normal B-cells and B-cells that make up certain cancers, like DLBCL. CD3 is a protein that is found on the surface of T cells. T-cells and normal B-cells are types of white blood cells in the body and are a part of the immune system that fights infections. Odronextamab is designed to help T-cells find and kill the B-cells including the cancer cells in DLBCL. Giving odronextamab before and after CAR T-cell therapy may improve response in patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Complete response rate (CRR)
Will be assessed by Lugano 2014. Will calculate the uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator, p-value, and confidence intervals for CRR. The calculation will be performed using R clinfun package.
Secondary outcomes
Number of participants experiencing treatment-related adverse events (AEs)
Will be classified by severity, and graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0. The proportion of subjects experiencing AEs, serious AEs, and treatment delays will be summarized. All AEs will be listed, documenting the course, outcome, severity, and relationship to the study treatment. Incidence rates of AEs and the proportion of subjects prematurely withdrawn from the study due to AEs will be reported.
Number of participants with progression-free survival
Will be summarized using Kaplan-Meier methodology using 25th, 50th (median), and 75th percentiles with associated 2-sided 95% confidence intervals (CIs), as well as number and percentage of censored observations.
Objective response rate
Will be assessed by Lugano 2014. Data will be presented using descriptive statistics. Tabulations will be produced for appropriate disposition, demographic, baseline, efficacy, and safety parameters. For categorical variables, summary tabulations of the number and percentage of patients within each category (with a category for missing data) of the parameter will be presented, as well as 2-sided 95% CIs, unless stated otherwise. For continuous variables, the number of patients, mean, median, standard deviation, minimum, and maximum values will be presented.
Number of minimal residual disease (MRD) negative targets detected
Will use circulating tumor-derived deoxyribonucleic acid testing. Data will be presented using descriptive statistics. Tabulations will be produced for appropriate disposition, demographic, baseline, efficacy, and safety parameters. For categorical variables, summary tabulations of the number and percentage of patients within each category (with a category for missing data) of the parameter will be presented, as well as 2-sided 95% CIs, unless stated otherwise. For continuous variables, the number of patients, mean, median, standard deviation, minimum, and maximum values will be presented.
