Polatuzumab vedotin plus obinutuzumab, lenalidomide shows promise in R/R follicular lymphoma
ORLANDO — Catherine Diefenbach, MD, director of the clinical lymphoma program and of hematology translational research, Perlmutter Cancer Center at NYU Langone Health, presented efficacy and safety data from a phase 1b/2 study of polatuzumab vedotin plus obinutuzumab and lenalidomide in patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma at ASH Annual Meeting & Exposition.
These data showed that this novel triplet combination is a highly active, safe and tolerable regimen for patients with heavily pretreated relapsed and refractory follicular lymphoma, according to Diefenbach.
“We had a complete response rate that ranged from 62% to 73%,” she said. “For patients who were not refractory to their most recent line of therapy, the [complete response] rate was actually an astonishing 86%, but even for patients who were refractory to chemotherapy, their complete response rate was 40%, which is extremely impressive for this patient population.”
