Odronextamab for Relapsed and Refractory Large B-cell Lymphomas Before CAR-T

OUTLINE: Patients receive odronextamab intravenously (IV) on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 and 16 of cycle 1 (dose step-up), and on days 1, 8 and 15 of cycles 2-4 and then once every other week of remaining cycles. Cycles repeat every 21 days for the first 4 cycles, then every other week for up to a total of 12 months (including the first 2 cycles). After 2 cycles, patients undergo leukapheresis followed by lymphodepletion and CAR-T infusion per standard of care. If there is a significant delay of leukapheresis, patients may receive up to 12 additional weeks of treatment. Patients who achieve CR after cycle 2 may opt out of leukapheresis and CAR-T cell infusion and may continue to receive odronextamab in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT), collection of blood and oral or rectal swab samples and tissue biopsy throughout the study. Additionally, patients may undergo lumbar puncture and bone marrow aspiration and/or biopsy on study. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed till 90 days or the initiation of the next lymphoma directed therapy for toxicity check, and total duration of follow-up is up to 5 years.
