Polatuzumab vedotin in relapsed / refractory aggressive B-cell lymphoma.

Polatuzumab is an important new tool for the management of patients with R/R DLBCL who are ineligible for or who relapse following standard second-line therapies. Combinations of polatuzumab with other agents may represent an opportunity to improve outcomes for this difficult to treat population. The recent publication of the POLARIX trial (NCT03274492) incorporating polatuzumab in the frontline treatment of DLBCL may impact the future role of this agent in the R/R setting.
