A Phase II Study Evaluating Glofitamab in Combination With Venetoclax Plus Zanubrutinib or Venetoclax Alone in Subjects With Untreated or Relapsed/Refractory High-risk Mantle-cell Lymphoma

This open-label, multicenter, three cohorts, phase II study is designed to assess a combination of Zanubrutinib/Venetoclax/Glofitamab or Venetoclax/Glofitamab in high-risk subjects with either first line or R/R Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL).

Three independent cohorts will be run:

* Cohort A will include subjects with a primary refractory or progressive disease within 24 months from initiation of first line treatment (POD 24).
* Cohort B will be open for subjects with R/R MCL and refractory or progressive to a BTK inhibitor given previously (\>24 months if first line).
* Cohort C will only enrol newly diagnosed and untreated MCL subjects with very high-risk features.

Cohort A : 40 subjects will be included and treated Cohort B : 36 subjects will be included and treated Cohort C : 24 subjects will be included and treated

Subjects in cohorts A and C will receive during induction phase 12 cycles of Zanubrutinib/Venetoclax/Glofitamab and during maintenance phase 23 cycles of Zanubrutinib/Venetoclax

Subjects in cohort B will receive during induction phase 12 cycles of Venetoclax/Glofitamab and during maintenance phase 23 cycles of Venetoclax
