| Scientific title | A phase II study of atezolizumab with rituximab, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large b-cell lymphoma who are not candidates for high-dose therapy |
| Study acronym | ARGO |
| Study hypothesis | This study of atezolizumab in combination with rituximab, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin aims to address the unmet need of patients with relapsed and refractory DLBCL. It is based upon a sound mechanistic approach, investigating the activity of novel agents and will aim to compressively explore biomarkers of response. The primary objective will be to document the durability of anti-tumour activity in patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL and to determine the safety and toxicity profile of the combination. A maintenance phase of atezolizumab has been added as this may induce an on-going T-cell response to neo-antigens released as a result of chemotherapy. |
| Ethics approval(s) | REC – South Central Hampshire A, 17/SC/0533 |
| Condition | Lymphoma |
| Intervention | Participants are randomly allocated to one of two treatment arms: Arm A or Arm B. Treatment involves 1 cycle of rituximab-gemcitabine-oxaliplatin for all patients. For those in the Arm B, the treatment is followed by 5 cycles of atezolizumab-rituximab-gemcitabine-oxaliplatin. Arm A continue with another 5 cycles of rituximab-gemcitabine-oxaliplatin. Each cycle lasts 14 days. Subsequently prticipants in Arm B with stable disease or better (determined by PET/CT) move onto a maintenance phase atezolizumab receiving 8 cycles of atezolizumab over 6 months, requiring 1 day of atezolizumab every 21 days. Participants in Arm A go into an observational phase during this same period. Follow up for continues for 36 months post initiation of trial treatment. |
| Intervention type | Other |
| Primary outcome measure | Progression free-survival rate is measured using patient notes at 1 year from study entry. |
| Secondary outcome measures | 1. The toxicity and causality of each adverse event (AE) with R-GemOx-Atezo is measured and severity graded according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) at Cycles 2-6, End of Treatment, Maintenance cycles 1-8, week 42, and during follow up visits at month 12, 16, 20, 24, 30 and 36 for patients in Arm B 2. Objective response (partial or complete metabolic response (PR or CR)) is assessed by PET in any of the patients as determined by the Lugano response criteria at Baseline, End of Treatment and at the End of Maintenance in week 42 3. Progression free survival from study entry will be measured from the day of registration to the date of progression or death from any cause using patient notes. Patients who do not die will be censored at their date of last follow up. 4. Overall survival from study entry ismeasured from the day of registration to the date of death from any cause from patient notes. Patients who do not die are censored at their date of last follow up. |
