PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate the efficacy of obinutuzumab combined with venetoclax and ibrutinib in
patients with previously untreated follicular lymphoma (FL) (determined by a positron
emission tomography [PET]/computed tomography [CT] complete response [CR] rate at 12 months
as per International Workshop Lymphoma Response Criteria, Cheson 2014).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of obinutuzumab in combination with venetoclax and
ibrutinib in patients with untreated FL as assessed by frequency, severity, and relatedness
of treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) as well as frequency of treatment-emergent AEs
requiring discontinuation or dose reduction of study drug.
II. To evaluate the efficacy of obinutuzumab in combination with venetoclax and ibrutinib in
subjects with untreated FL as assessed by CR at 30 months, overall response rate (ORR) (CR +
partial response [PR]), duration of response (DOR), time to next anti-lymphoma treatment
(TTNT), progression-free survival (PFS), and OS.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive obinutuzumab intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15 of
cycle 1, day 1 of cycles 2-6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, and 24. Patients also receive
venetoclax orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28 (days 4-28 of cycle 1) and ibrutinib PO
QD on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 24 cycles in the absence of
disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically for up to 2 years.

- Platelet count > 50 x 10^9/L
- Prothrombin time (PT)/international normal ratio (INR) < 1.5 x (upper limit of normal)
ULN and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) (activated partial thromboplastin time
[aPTT]) < 1.5 x ULN (unless abnormalities are unrelated to coagulopathy or bleeding
disorder). When treated with warfarin or other vitamin K antagonists, then INR =< 3.0)
- Serum aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) < 3 x upper limit of
normal (ULN)
- Creatinine clearance > 30 ml/min calculated by modified Cockcroft-Gault formula
- Bilirubin < 1.5 x ULN unless bilirubin is due to Gilbert's syndrome, documented liver
involvement with lymphoma, or of non-hepatic origin, in which case bilirubin should
not exceed 3 g/dL
- Women of childbearing potential and men who are sexually active must practice reliable
contraceptive measures started at least 4 weeks before study therapy and continued for
18 months following discontinuation of therapy. Females of childbearing potential must
either completely abstain from heterosexual sexual contact or must use 2 methods of
reliable contraception. Reliable contraceptive methods include 1 highly effective
method (intrauterine device, birth control pills, hormonal patches, injections,
vaginal rings, or implants) and at least 1 additional method (condom, diaphragm, or
cervical cap) every time they have sex with a male. Males who are sexually active must
be practicing complete abstinence or agree to a condom during sexual contact with a
pregnant female or female of child bearing potential. Men must agree to not donate
sperm during and for 90 days after the last dose of study drug
- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum (beta-human chorionic
gonadotropin [B-hCG]) pregnancy test at screening. Women who are pregnant or
breastfeeding are ineligible for this study
- Sign (or their legally-acceptable representatives must sign) an informed consent
document indicating that they understand the purpose of and procedures required for
the study, including biomarkers, and are willing to participate in the study
Exclusion Criteria:

of disease
- Adequately treated cervical carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease
