Glofitamab Bridging ASCT for Patients With Relapsed or Refractory DLBCL

This study seeks to include patients aged 18 to 70 years with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL) who have undergone at least a second-line systemic treatment, excluding those with prior resistance to Glofitamab. Based on their disease status following the second-line treatment, participants will be categorized into three groups: A, B, and C. Group A will consist of patients who exhibit partial response (PR) or are circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) positive after second-line treatment and are planning to undergo autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) or Glofitamab as a bridging therapy to ASCT. Group B will include patients who achieve complete response (CR) and are ctDNA negative post-second-line treatment, and they will receive ASCT as consolidation therapy. Patients in Group B who achieved CR and were ctDNA negative following second-line treatment will proceed directly to ASCT consolidation therapy. In Group C, patients who exhibited stable disease (SD) or progressive disease (PD) after second-line treatment were reassessed following two cycles of Glofitamab. Those who attained PR subsequently underwent ASCT consolidation therapy, whereas patients achieving CR had the option to either undergo ASCT or continue with Glofitamab maintenance therapy. Patients with SD or PD were excluded from the study. Patients exhibiting SD or PD were excluded from the cohort. Individuals who have successfully undergone autologous transplantation and subsequent maintenance therapy with Glofitamab will be monitored for assessments of efficacy and survival outcomes.

Inclusion criteria
