a study of mosunetuzumab in people with follicular lymphoma

Conditions: Follicular Lymphoma; Lymphoma

Summary: the purpose of this study is to find out if mosunetuzumab is an effective treatment in people with follicular lymphoma that was recently diagnosed and have not yet received any treatments for their disease.

after completing enrollment of the initial 53 subjects, the researchers plan to expand the study by an additional 23 subjects.
