Sponsor's own description
This study evaluates the addition of Atezolizumab to current therapy of Rituximab, Gemcitabine and Oxaliplatin (R-GemOx) for patients with relapsed or refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) that are not candidates for high-dose therapy. All patients will receive one cycle of R-GemOx. Three quarters of patients (Arm B) will go on to have a further 5 cycles (every 14 days) of R-GemOx with Atezolizumab, with one quarter of patients (Arm A) continuing with 5 cycles of R-GemOx. The patients in Arm B will continue to have Atezolizumab every 21 days for 8 cycles whilst Arm A patients will enter an observational phase during this time. Follow up will begin at 12 months from initial treatment until month 32.
