Clinical summary
Summary
Eligible participants will be randomly allocated to one of two treatment arms.
In Arm A (Experimental), participants will receive glofitamab in combination with Pola-R-CHP (which consists of polatuzumab vedotin, rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone).
In Arm B (Active Comparator), participants will receive Pola-R-CHP.
Conditions
This trial is treating people with CD20-positive large B-cell lymphoma

- Prior use of any monoclonal antibody for the purposes of treating cancer within 3 months of the start of Cycle 1
- Any investigational therapy for the purposes of treating cancer within 28 days prior to the start of Cycle 1
- Prior radiotherapy to the mediastinal/pericardial region
- Prior therapy for LBCL, with the exception of corticosteriods
