Autologous Stem Cell Transplant with Polatuzumab Vedotin for Lymphoma

This study is looking at the safety and tolerability of a treatment plan for people with certain types of B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma or Hodgkin Lymphoma. You might be able to join if you are between 12 and 70 years old and have specific types of lymphoma that have not responded well to initial treatment or have returned. The treatment involves an autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT), where your own healthy stem cells are given back to you after high-dose chemotherapy. If your lymphoma responds well to the ASCT, you will then receive a drug called Polatuzumab Vedotin through an IV every 21 days for a total of 8 doses. The study aims to see how well people tolerate this treatment over one year. The current recruitment status is unclear, and the study plans to enroll 20 participants.

Study design
This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 20 participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.
What's involved
You will receive high-dose chemotherapy followed by an autologous stem cell transplant. If your disease responds, you will then receive 8 doses of Polatuzumab Vedotin intravenously every 21 days.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
After Polatuzumab Vedotin therapy is completed, you will be followed every 4 months for about 2 years.

  • Safety and tolerability1 year

    To evaluate the safety and tolerability of Polatuzumab vedotin (PV) immunoconjugate therapy post myeloablative conditioning (MAC) and autologous stem cell transplantation (AutoSCT) in patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Patients receiving 1 dose of Polatuzumab Vedotin will be evaluable for safety. To determine the safety events: Number of participants with treatment-related Grade III or higher adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0. To determine the occurrence of any Grade ≥ 3 non hematologic toxicity (per CTCAE v.5) which is possibly, probably, or definitely related to polatuzumab vedotin.
