Brief Summary:
The purpose of the study is to compare the safety and efficacy of Tafasitamab with BEN versus RTX with BEN in adult patients with relapsed of refractory DLBCL.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma Drug: Rituximab (RTX) Drug: Tafasitamab Drug: Bendamustine (BEN) Phase 2 Phase 3

Detailed Description:
This is a randomised, two-arm, multicentre, open-label phase II/III efficacy and safety study of Tafasitamab in combination with BEN versus RTX in combination with BEN given to adult patients who have relapsed after or are refractory to at least one but no more than three prior systemic therapies and have failed, or are not candidates for HDC and ASCT, and have thus exhausted their therapeutic options of demonstrated clinical benefit. At least one prior therapy line must have included a CD20-targeted therapy.

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older   (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

INCLUSION CRITERIA:

  1. Age ≥18 years
  2. Histologically confirmed diagnosis, according to the World Health Organization (WHO, 2008) classification, of: DLBCL NOS, THRLBCL, EBV-positive DLBCL, composite lymphoma with a DLBCL component with a DLBCL relapse subsequent to DLBCL treatment, disease transformed from an earlier diagnosis of low grade lymphoma (i.e. an indolent pathology such as follicular lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma) into DLBCL with a DLBCL relapse subsequent to DLBCL treatment.
  3. Fresh tumour tissue for central pathology review must be provided as an adjunct to participation in this study. Should it not be possible to obtain a fresh tumour tissue sample, archival paraffin embedded tumour tissue acquired ≤3 years prior to screening for this protocol must be available for this purpose.

  4. Patients must have:

    1. relapsed or refractory DLBCL
    2. at least one bidimensionally measurable disease site. The lesion must have a greatest transverse diameter of ≥1.5 cm and greatest perpendicular diameter of ≥1.0 cm at baseline. The lesion must be positive on PET scan
    3. received at least one, but no more than three previous systemic therapy lines for the treatment of DLBCL. At least one previous therapy line must have included a CD20-targeted.
    4. ECOG 0 to 2
  5. Patients after failure of ASCT or patients considered in the opinion of the investigator currently not eligible for HDC with subsequent ASCT.

An FCBP must commit to take highly effective contraceptive precautions without interruption during the study and for 3, 6 or 12 months after the last dose of Tafasitamab, BEN or RTX respectively, whichever is later. An FCBP must refrain from breastfeeding and donating blood or oocytes during the course of the study and for 3, 6 or 12 months after the last dose of Tafasitamab, BEN or RTX respectively, whichever is later. Restrictions concerning blood donations apply as well to females who are not of childbearing potential.
