Study Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer drug to see if it's more effective than the current standard of care for treating follicular lymphoma.

Who is the study for?
Adults diagnosed with Follicular Lymphoma who have relapsed or not responded to treatment, and show certain disease characteristics on scans. They must be in relatively good health otherwise, with major organs functioning well and no severe illnesses that could interfere with the study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing whether combining Loncastuximab Tesirine with Rituximab increases the complete response rate in treating Follicular Lymphoma compared to previous treatments patients may have received.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions at the infusion site, fatigue, lowered blood cell counts which can increase infection risk, liver enzyme changes suggesting liver stress, and possibly other organ-related inflammation.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Loncastuximab tesirine + RituximabExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
During the 12-week Induction Phase (Cycles 1 to 4), participants will receive loncastuximab tesirine on days 1 of each 3-week cycle for Cycles 1 through 4; and rituximab on days 1, 8, 15 of Cycle 1 and day 1 of Cycle 2. Maintenance Phase 1 (Cycle 5) is 8 weeks: Participants achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) during the Induction Phase will receive loncastuximab tesirine once every 3-weeks; and rituximab once during week 7 or 8. Participants achieving a response of Stable Disease (SD) or Progressive Disease (PD) will be taken off treatment. Maintenance Phase 2 (Cycles 6 and 7) is 16 weeks: Participants achieving CR during Maintenance Phase 1 receive rituximab once during week 7 or 8 of Cycles 6 and 7. Participants achieving PR during Maintenance Phase 1 receive loncastuximab tesirine once every 3-weeks over each 8 week cycle; and rituximab once during week 7 or 8 of Cycles 6 and 7. Participants achieving SD or PD will be taken off treatment.
