What to Expect as a Participant

You will actively receive the study intervention — which may be a drug, biologic, device, or procedure.

In Phase 2, researchers evaluate early signs of effectiveness. You may be randomized to receive the active treatment or a comparator. Monitoring continues closely.

This trial targets 40 participants in total. It began in 2024-05-07 with a primary completion date of 2027-01-31.

Brief Summary

To learn if the combination of axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) and glofitamab as first-line therapy in high-risk LBCL participants or as second-line therapy in LBCL participants can help to control the disease.

For patients with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, they are eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load. * Participants with treated secondary CNS lymphoma are eligible if follow-up brain imaging after CNS directed therapy shows no evidence of disease. * Participants with malignancy ≤2 years, whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen. * Participants should be without any active cardiac symptoms and an ejection fraction \>45%, and a clinical risk assessment of cardiac function be class 2B or better using the New York Heart Association Functional Classification. * Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (females who have undergone surgical sterilization or who have been postmenopausal for at least 2 years are not considered to be of childbearing potential). * Participants must agree to either remain completely abstinent or to use two effective contraceptive methods that result in a failure rate of \< 1% per year from screening until at least 3 months after pre-treatment with obinutuzumab or 2 months after the last dose of glofitamab (whichever is longer) if the participants is a male. If the participant is a female, effective contraception should be used until at least 18 months after pre-treatment with obinutuzumab or 2 months after the last dose of glofitamab (whichever is longer). * Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and 4 months after completion of cycle-6 (C6) of glofitamab administration, and must refrain from donating sperm during this same period. • Not engaging in sexual activity for the total duration of the trial and the drug washout period is an acceptable practice; however periodic abstinence, the rhythm method, and the withdrawal method are not acceptable methods of birth control. * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. * Autoimmune disease: * Participants with a history of autoimmune-related hypothyroidism on a stable dose of thyroid replacement hormone may be eligible for this study. * Participants with a history of disease-related immune thrombocytopenic purpura or autoimmune hemolytic anemia may be eligible for this study. * Participants with a history of Type I Diabetes Mellitus who are well controlled (defined as a screening hemoglobin A1c \< 8% and no urinary ketoacidosis) are eligible. * Participants with eczema, psoriasis, lichen simplex chronicus, or vitiligo with dermatologic manifestations only (e.g., patients with psoriatic arthritis are excluded) are eligible for the study provided all of following conditions are met: * Rash must cover \< 10% of body surface area * Disease is well controlled at baseline and requires only low- potency topical corticosteroids * No occurrence of acute exacerbations of the underlying condition requiring methotrexate, retinoids, biologic agents, oral calcineurin inhibitors, or high potency oral corticosteroids within the previous 12 months * Participants with a history of stroke who have not experienced a stroke or transient ischemic attack in the past 2 years and have no residual neurologic deficits, as judged by the investigator, are allowed Exclusion Criteria: * Prior CAR T-cell therapy or glofitamab therapy. * History of severe, immediate hypersensitivity reaction attributed to aminoglycosides. * Presence or suspicion of fungal, bacterial, viral, or other infection that is uncontrolled or requiring hospitalization and/or intravenous (IV) antimicrobials for management within 4 weeks of treatment initiation;
