Trial Description

The purpose of this study is to determine how effective and safe the combination of
glofitamab and obinutuzumab is in treating patients with Follicular Lymphoma (FL) and
Marginal Zone Lymphoma (MZL) who have not received other treatments for their lymphoma.

The names of the study drugs involved in this study are:

- Glofitamab (a type of immunotherapy)

- Obinutuzumab (a type of immunotherapy)

Eligibility Requirements

Inclusion Criteria:

- Histologically confirmed diagnosis of either FL (grade 1-3A) or MZL (any subtype) with
review of the diagnostic pathology specimen at one of the participating institutions.
Patients with active histologic transformation are excluded.

- No prior systemic therapy for FL or MZL. Prior treatment with radiation therapy or
short course steroids is allowed.

- Meets at least one criterion to begin treatment based on the modified GELF criteria:

- Symptomatic adenopathy

- Organ function impairment due to disease involvement, including cytopenias due to
marrow involvement (WBC <1.5x109/L; absolute neutrophil count [ANC] <1.0x109/L,
Hgb <10g/dL; or platelets <100x109/L)

- Constitutional symptoms

- Maximum diameter of disease > 7cm

- >3 nodal sites of involvement

- Risk of local compressive symptoms

- Splenomegaly (craniocaudal diameter > 16cm on CT imaging)

- Clinically significant pleural or peritoneal effusion

- Leukemic phase (>5x109/L circulating malignant cells)

- Rapid generalized disease progression

- Renal infiltration

- Bone lesions

- Patients cannot be in need of urgent cytoreductive chemotherapy in the opinion of the
treating investigator.

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2. (Appendix A)

- Age ≥18 years.

- Adequate hematologic and organ function:

- Absolute neutrophil count > 1.0x109/L unless due to marrow involvement by
lymphoma in which case ANC must be >0.5x109/L

- Platelets > 75 x109/L, unless due to marrow involvement by lymphoma, in which
case platelets must be >50 x109/L

- Creatinine clearance > 40ml/min (by Cockcroft-Gault Formula)

- Total bilirubin < 1.5 X ULN, unless Gilbert syndrome, in which case direct
bilirubin must be < 1.5 x ULN

- AST/ALT < 2.5 X ULN, unless documented liver involvement by lymphoma, in which
case AST/ALT must be <5 x ULN

- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

- Willingness to provide a pre-treatment tumor sample by core needle or excisional
surgical biopsy. A fresh biopsy is strongly encouraged, but an archival sample is
acceptable if the following provisions are met: 1) availability of a tumor-containing
formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue block, 2) if the tumor containing FFPE
tissue block cannot be provided in total, sections from this block should be provided
that are freshly cut and mounted on positively-charged glass slides (SuperFrost Plus
are recommended). Preferably, 25 slides should be provided; if not possible, a minimum
of 15 slides is required. Exceptions to this criterion may be made with approval of
the sponsor-investigator.

- Willingness to remain abstinent or to use two effective contraceptive methods that
result in a failure rate of <1% per year from screening until: (a) at least 3 months
after pre-treatment with obinutuzumab or 2 months after the last dose of glofitamab,
whichever is longer, if the patient is a male or (b) until at least 18 months after
pre-treatment with obinutuzumab or 2 months after the last dose of glofitamab,
whichever is longer, if patient is a female. Examples of contraceptive methods with a
failure rate of <1% per year include:

- Tubal ligation, male sterilization, hormonal implants, established proper use of
hormonal contraceptives that inhibit ovulation, hormone-releasing intrauterine
devices, and copper intrauterine devices.

- Alternatively, two methods (e.g., two barrier methods such as a condom and a
cervical cap) may be combined to achieve a failure rate of <1% per year. Barrier
methods must always be supplemented with the use of a spermicide.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients who require systemic immunosuppressive therapy for an ongoing medical
condition will be excluded. For corticosteroids, patients receiving a prednisone dose
of >10 mg daily (or equivalent) will not be eligible. A short course of steroids (up
to 14 days, not exceeding 40 mg dexamethasone or equivalent in a single day) for
symptom palliation is allowed, in which case patients should be off steroids at least
7 days prior to treatment start.

- Patients with bulky cervical adenopathy that is 1) compressing the upper airway or 2)
in close proximity to the upper airway and could result in airway compression during a
tumor flare event).

- History of severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions to monoclonal antibody therapy
unless in consultation with an allergy specialist they are deemed eligible for
retreatment with desensitization.

- Patients, who have had a major surgery or significant traumatic injury within 4 weeks
of start of study drug, patients who have not recovered from the side effects of any
major surgery (defined as requiring general anesthesia).

- Patients with known HIV infection or hepatitis B or C infection. Testing for HIV is
optional. Testing for hepatitis B and C is mandatory. Patients with hepatitis B core
Ab positivity but negative surface antigen and negative viral load may be enrolled if
they can be treated with a prophylactic agent (e.g., entecavir); patients with
hepatitis C seropositivity who have a negative viral load can also be enrolled.

- Patients with a systemic fungal, bacterial, viral, or other infection not controlled
(defined as exhibiting ongoing signs/symptoms related to the infection and without
improvement, despite appropriate antibiotics or other treatment).

- Prior history of another malignancy (except for non-melanoma skin cancer or in situ
cervical or breast cancer) unless disease free for at least 2 years. Patients with
prostate cancer (Gleason score 6-7) are allowed if PSA is less than 1 ng/mL.

- Patients should not have received immunization with lives or live attenuated vaccine
within one week of study entry or during study period.

- Patients who have any severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions or other
conditions that could affect their participation in the study or limit adherence to
study requirements.

- Patients with any one of the following currently on or in the previous 6 months will
be excluded: myocardial infarction, congenital long QT syndrome, torsade de pointes,
unstable angina, coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft, or cerebrovascular accident.

- Patients with New York Heart Association Class III or IV heart failure.

- Inability to comply with protocol mandated hospitalizations and restrictions

- Patients who are pregnant, breast-feeding, or intending to become pregnant during the
study.

- Prior solid organ or allogeneic stem cell transplantation

- History of known or suspected hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH).

- History of autoimmune disease, including but not limited to myocarditis, pneumonitis,
myasthenia gravis, myositis, autoimmune hepatitis, systemic lupus erythematosus,
rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, vascular thrombosis associated with
antiphospholipid syndrome, Wegener's granulomatosis, Sjögren's syndrome,
Guillain-Barré syndrome, multiple sclerosis, vasculitis, or glomerulonephritis •
Patients with a remote history of, or well controlled, autoimmune disease may be
eligible to enroll after consultation with the study PI.
