Purpose

This study is a multicenter, open-label study of polatuzumab vedotin administered by intravenous (IV) infusion in combination with rituximab, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (R-GemOx) in participants with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The study comprises of two stages: a safety run-in stage and a randomized controlled trial.

Detailed Description

      The safety run-in stage (Stage 1) will assess the safety of polatuzumab vedotin plus
      rituximab, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (Pola-R-GemOx) in 10 participants. The randomized
      controlled trial (RCT) (Stage 2) will compare Pola-R-GemOx versus R-GemOx in 206
      participants.

It is composed of the 27-item FACT-general questionnaire (FACT-G), which measures health-related quality of life in patients undergoing any type of cancer therapy, plus the 15-item Lymphoma-Specific Subscale (FACT-Lym LYMS), which assesses the HRQoL impacts of more lymphoma-specific symptoms. Each item of the FACT-Lym is answered using a 5-point scale ranging from 0 = "not at all" to 4 = "very much". 0 = Not at all, 1 = a little bit, 2 = somewhat, 3 = quite a bit, and 4 = Very much. FACT-LYM total score can be calculated and higher scores are reflective of better HRQoL.
