Main objective
Scope: Safety, Efficacy, Therapy
To demonstrate that, in patients with newly diagnosed, advanced stage Follicular Lymphoma (FL) with high tumor burden according to the GELF criteria, a treatment strategy that reduces the number of chemotherapy cycles in case of early response to immunochemotherapy is not inferior compared to standard therapy at full dose in terms of progression-free survival (PFS)
Secondary objectives 11
- to compare the response rates between the Standard and Experimental treatment;
- to compare the rate of adverse events between the Standard and Experimental treatment
- to compare a shortened vs full dose program in terms of change in quality of life (QoL) measured through the Patients Reported Outcomes (PROs) by means of the FACT-Lym questionnaire;
- to recognized patients’ characteristics and biomarkers that help in identifying patients suitable for shortened chemotherapy treatment;
- to assess the role of minimal residual disease (MRD) in predicting patient outcome;
- to assess the role of cell-free tumor DNA (cfDNA) analysis in predicting patient outcome;
- to assess whether cfDNA analysis could be used to monitor residual disease;
- to correlate response and survival with clinical and biologic prognostic factors;
- to assess long-term outcome of the patients;
- to complement heterogeneity information provided through radiomics analysis to total metabolic tumor value (TMTV) to correlate it to the prognosis and evaluate the correlation of TMTV/radiomics at baseline with response;
- to evaluate and to compare Lugano classification and TMTV/radiomics analysis results obtained from PET studies reconstructed both with ordered subset expectation maximization (OSEM) - w/wo point spread function (PSF) - and regularized reconstruction (RR) algorithm.

Eligibility criteria
Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor
Inclusion criteria 15
- Histologically documented diagnosis of grade 1-2 or 3a follicular lymphona or classic follicular lymphoma, as defined in the 4 th and 5 th editions of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification respectively;
- Age ≥ 18 years
- ECOG performance status 0-2
- No previous immunochemotherapy for the lymphoma (localized radiotherapy or rituximab monotherapy with max of 4 doses are allowed);
- Ann Arbor stage II-IV
- High tumor burden as per GELF criteria defined as the presence of at least one of the following: - systemic symptoms; - Tumor bulk (any nodal or extranodal tumor mass with diameter > 7 cm); - involvement of ≥ 3 nodal sites, each with a diameter ≥ 3 cm; - splenomegaly; - compressive syndrome (organ compression); - serous effusion; - circulant malignant cells; - cytopenia; - ECOG-PS > 1; - LDH > upper limit of normality (ULN); - β2-microglobulin > 3 mg/L. In the absence of at least one of the GELF criteria, the presence of extranodal disease applies provided that the bone marrow is not the only extranodal site
- At least one site of measurable nodal disease at baseline ≥ 1.5 cm in the longest transverse diameter as determined by CT scan (MRI is allowed if CT scan cannot be performed); or evaluable disease at baseline FDG-PET scan (at least one metabolic active site of disease)
- Adequate hematological counts (unless due to bone marrow involvement by lymphoma) defined as follows: a. Absolute Neutrophil count (ANC) > 1.5 x 109 /L; b. Platelet count ≥ 80 x 109 /L ; c. Hemoglobin ≥ 10 g/dL
- Adequate renal function defined as creatinine ≤ 2 mg/dL, unless secondary to lymphoma;
- Adequate hepatic function defined as bilirubin ≤ 2 mg/dL, unless secondary to lymphoma or Gilbert syndrome
- LVEF > 50% at bidimensional echocardiogram (mandatory only for patients receiving R/G-CHOP);
- Life expectancy ≥ 6 months;
- Subject understands and voluntarily signs an informed consent form approved by the National Ethics Committee (NEC) prior to the initiation of any screening or study-specific procedures;
- Subject must be able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements
- Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) and men must agree to use effective contraception if sexually active. This applies for the time period between signing of the informed consent form and 12 months after last rituximab dose or 18 months after last obinutuzumab dose. A woman is considered of childbearing potential, i.e. fertile, following menarche and until becoming postmenopausal unless permanently sterile. Permanent sterilization methods include but are not limited to hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral oophorectomy. A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for continuous 12 months without an alternative medical cause. A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a postmenopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy. The investigator or a designated associate is requested to advise the patient how to achieve highly effective birth control (failure rate of less than 1%) e.g., intrauterine device (IUD), intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS), bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomized partner. The use of condoms by male patients is required (even if surgically sterilized, i.e., status post vasectomy) unless the female partner is permanently sterile. Full sexual abstinence is admitted when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject, for the same time period planned for other methods of birth control (see above). Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post ovulation methods for the female partner) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception)
Exclusion criteria 9
- Histological diagnosis different from grade 1-3a or cFL, as defined in the WHO classification (4 th and 5 th editions);
- Suspect or clinical evidence of CNS involvement by lymphoma;
- Contraindication to the use of anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies;
- Subject has received any anticancer therapy (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, investigational therapy, including targeted small molecule agents) within 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug;
- Noteworthy history of neurologic, psychiatric, endocrinological, metabolic, immunologic, or hepatic disease that would preclude participation in the study or compromise ability to give informed consent;
- Any history of other active malignancies within 3 years prior to study entry, with the exception of: adequately treated in situ carcinoma of the cervix uterine; basal cell carcinoma of the skin or localized squamous cell carcinoma of the skin; limited stage surgically removed breast cancer or adequately treated with radiation therapy; limited stage prostate carcinoma surgically removed or adequately treated with radiation therapy; previous malignancy confined and surgically resected with curative intent;
- Evidence of other clinically significant uncontrolled condition(s) including, but not limited to: - Uncontrolled and/or active systemic infection (viral, bacterial or fungal), including active ongoing infection from SARSCoV-2; - Chronic or acute hepatitis B (HBV) or hepatitis C (HCV) requiring treatment. Note: subjects with serologic evidence of prior vaccination to HBV (i.e., HBsAg negative, HBsAb positive and HBcAb negative) or positive HBcAb from previous infection or intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) may participate; inactive carriers (HBsAg positive with undetectable HBV- DNA) are eligible. Patients with presence of HCV antibody are eligible only if PCR negative for HCV-RNA
- HIV seropositivity;
- Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
