Conditions: Lymphoma
Allocation: NON_RANDOMIZED | Intervention model: PARALLEL
Enrollment: 134
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
The primary objective for the phase I part of the study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of escalating intravenous (IV) doses of obinutuzumab given as monotherapy in participants with CD20+ (tumor-infiltrating lymphocytic) Malignant Disease, including B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL). The primary objective for the phase II part of the study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of one dose of obinutuzumab in participants with relapsed/refractory CLL and NHL that is, in turn, either indolent (iNHL) or aggressive (aNHL).

It is an open label dose escalating study in phase I and open label in phase II, but the two doses in iNHL \& aNHL are randomized (to high or low dose of the same open label treatment). CLL was not randomized as only one dose level was used.

Participants with a response who might gain additional benefit from being treated again in the opinion of the investigator may be enrolled in a Retreatment Period.

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: Participants in this NHL arm received multiple ascending doses between 50 and 2000 mg via intravenous infusion of obinutuzumab. arm 2: Participants in this CLL arm received multiple ascending doses between 400 and 2000 mg via intravenous infusion of obinutuzumab. arm 3: Participants in this iNHL arm received an intravenous infusion of obinutuzumab 400 mg on Days 1 and 8 of Cycle 1 and obinutuzumab 400 mg on Day 1 of Cycles 2-8 for a maximum of 8 cycles and 9 infusions. Each cycle was 21 days. arm 4: Participants in this iNHL arm received an intravenous infusion of obinutuzumab 1600 mg on Days 1 and 8 of Cycle 1 and obinutuzumab 800 mg on Day 1 of Cycles 2-8 for a maximum of 8 cycles and 9 infusions. Each cycle was 21 days. arm 5: Participants in this aNHL arm received an intravenous infusion of obinutuzumab 400 mg on Days 1 and 8 of Cycle 1 and obinutuzumab 400 mg on Day 1 of Cycles 2-8 for a maximum of 8 cycles and 9 infusions. Each cycle was 21 days. arm 6: Participants in this aNHL arm received an intravenous infusion of obinutuzumab 1600 mg on Days 1 and 8 of Cycle 1 and obinutuzumab 800 mg on Day 1 of Cycles 2-8 for a maximum of 8 cycles and 9 infusions. Each cycle was 21 days. arm 7: Participants in this CLL arm received an intravenous infusion of obinutuzumab 1000 mg on Days 1, 8, and 15 of Cycle 1 and obinutuzumab 1000 mg on Day 1 of Cycles 2-8 for a maximum of 8 cycles and 10 infusions. Each cycle was 21 days. arm 8: Participants who might benefit from retreatment who were allowed to be treated again via intravenous infusion of obinutuzumab at the request of the investigator.
