Who may be able to join

  • History or status of a histologically-confirmed hematological malignancy that is expected to express CD19 and CD20; relapse after or failure to respond to at least one prior treatment regimen; no available treatment options that are expected to prolong survival (Part I and II); relapsed after or failed to respond to only one prior systemic treatment regimen (Part III)

  • Adequate liver, hematological, and renal function
  • Negative test results for acute or chronic hepatitis B virus infection
  • Negative test results for hepatitis C virus and HIV
  • The contraception and abstinence requirements are intended to prevent exposure of an embryo to the study treatment. The reliability of sexual abstinence for male and/or female enrollment eligibility needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical study and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of preventing drug exposure
  • Female participants: A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant and not breastfeeding, and if at least one of the following applies: women of non-childbearing potential (WONCBP); women of child bearing potential (WOCBP) who agree to remain abstinent or use two highly effective contraceptive methods with a failure rate of <1% per year during the treatment period and for at least 18 months after obinutuzumab or 3.5 months after the last dose of englumafusp alfa, 2 months after last dose of glofitamab, or 3 months after the last dose of tocilizumab, whichever is longer. Examples of contraceptive methods with a failure rate of < 1% per year include bilateral tubal occlusion/ ligation, male sexual partner who is sterilized, established proper use of hormonal contraceptives that inhibit ovulation, hormone-releasing intrauterine devices and copper intrauterine devices. Hormonal contraceptive methods must be supplemented by a barrier method; have a negative pregnancy test (blood) within the 7 days prior to the first study treatment administration
  • Male participants: During the treatment period and for at least 3 months after obinutuzumab, or 3.5 months after the last dose of englumafusp alfa, 2 months after the last dose of glofitamab, or 2 months after the last dose of tocilizumab whichever is longer, agreement to: Remain abstinent or use contraceptive measures such as a condom plus an additional contraceptive method that together result in a failure rate of < 1% per year, with a partner who is a women of childbearing potential. With pregnant female partner, remain abstinent or use contraceptive measures such as a condom to avoid exposing the embryo; refrain from donating sperm during this same period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Englumafusp alfa, Obinutuzumab and Glofitamab in people with Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 35 sites in 12 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 35 sites in United States, China, France, Italy, South Korea and 7 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Nature and frequency of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) (time frame: 28 days in Part I and Part II). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04077723, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Aug 2026.
