New drug duo aims to tackle tough lymphoma
NCT ID NCT06492837
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 2 trial is testing whether combining two drugs, mosunetuzumab and zanubrutinib, can help people with follicular lymphoma whose cancer has returned or stopped responding to previous treatment. The study will enroll 56 participants and measure how many achieve a complete response (cancer disappearance) after treatment. The goal is to find a more effective salvage therapy for this type of blood cancer.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Mosunetuzumab and Zanubrutinib (drug combination)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a new, more effective treatment option for people with follicular lymphoma that has returned or not responded to prior therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase (phase 2) trial with only 56 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The combination may cause side effects or not work better than existing treatments.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Able to provide written informed consent form approved by the National Ethics Committee (NEC) prior to the initiation of any screening or study-specific procedures and able to understand and to comply with the requirements of the study and the schedule of assessments. 2. Histologically documented diagnosis of cFL (CD20+ by flow cytometry or immunohistochemistry) as defined in the International Consensus Classification of Mature Lymphoid Neoplasms (Campo E., 2022) and in the World Health Organization Classification (WHO) 5th edition 2022. 3. Age ≥18 years. 4. Relapsed or refractory disease. Histologic confirmation of FL relapse is not mandatory but is highly recommended. 5. At least one and up to three lines of systemic therapy containing an anti-CD20 antibody (anti-CD20 alone and/or in combination with radiotherapy is not considered as a line of therapy). 6. FL requiring systemic therapy assessed by investigator based on tumor size and/or Groupe d'Etude des Lymphomes Folliculaires criteria. 7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) ≤ 2. 8. Availability of histological material for centralized revision. Central pathology review is not mandatory for start of treatment. 9. At least one measurable or evaluable site of disease at relapse as documented by CT scan (nodes ≥ 1.5 cm in the longest transverse diameter) or FDG-PET (avid FDG sites). Note: MRI is allowed only if CT scan cannot be performed. Patients with exclusive bone marrow involvement are eligible. 10. Adequate hematological counts defined as follows: * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \> 1.0 x 109/L; * Platelet count ≥ 75 x 109/L; * Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL. 11. Adequate renal function defined as creatinine clearance ≥ 40 mL/min (Cockcroft-Gault formula, normalized to 1.72 m2). 12. Adequate hepatic function per local laboratory reference range as follows: * Aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 x ULN; * Bilirubin ≤1.5 x ULN (unless bilirubin rise is due to Gilbert's syndrome or of non-hepatic origin). 13. Subject must be able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements. 14. Subject must be able to swallow capsules or tablets. 15. Women must be: * postmenopausal for at least 1 year (must not have had a natural menses for at least 12 months); * surgically sterile (have had a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy, tubal ligation, or otherwise be incapable of pregnancy); * if they are childbearing potential, completely abstinent (periodic abstinence is not permitted) or if sexually active, be practicing a highly effective method of birth control (e.g., prescription oral contraceptives, contraceptive injections, contraceptive patch, intrauterine device, double barrier method (e.g.: condoms, diaphragm, or cervical cap, with spermicidal foam, cream, or gel, male partner sterilization), before entry, and must agree to continue to use the same method of contraception throughout the study and for 30 days after receiving the last dose of zanubrutinib and 3 months after receiving the last dose of mosunetuzumab. 16. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening. 17. Men must agree to use an acceptable method of contraception for the duration of the study and for 1 week after receiving the last dose of study drug. 18. Male even if surgically sterilized (i.e., status post vasectomy) must agree to 1 of the following: * practice effective barrier contraception (e.g.: condoms) , or * agree to practice abstinence, when this is in line with the usual lifestyle of the subject (periodic abstinence is not permitted). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Histological diagnosis different from cFL (Campo E., 2022). 2. R/R FL who were treated with more than three lines of previous treatment (autologous stem cell transplant performed as part of consolidation to a previous line of therapy should not be considered as a line of therapy; rituximab maintenance as part of a previous line of therapy should not be considered as a line of therapy; radiotherapy alone or in combination with rituximab is not considered a line of therapy). 3. Patients with stage I or II (limited stage) suitable for RT alone treatment. 4. Prior exposure to a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor (BTKi). 5. Prior exposure to an anti-CD20xCD3 bispecific antibody (bsAbs). 6. Need of anticoagulation with warfarin or equivalent vitamin K antagonists (e.g. phenprocoumon).

Vaccination or requirement for vaccination with a live vaccine within 28 days prior to the first dose of study drug or at any time during planned study treatment. 28.
