Abstract
7551 Background: Transplant-ineligible pts with R/R DLBCL have a poor prognosis (Gisselbrecht C, et al. Br J Haematol 2018). Several treatment options are available including platinum-based chemotherapies such as oxaliplatin plus rituximab and gemcitabine (R-GemOx). Adding polatuzumab vedotin to R-GemOx (Pola-R-GemOx) may improve outcomes for pts with a continued unmet medical need. The safety of polatuzumab vedotin and platinum-based therapy combinations must be considered as both are associated with neuropathy. POLARGO (NCT04182204; MO40598) is a Phase III, multicenter, open-label, randomized trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of Pola-R-GemOx vs R-GemOx in pts with R/R DLBCL. Methods: Results from the safety run-in stage of POLARGO are presented. The primary endpoint is the safety and tolerability of polatuzumab vedotin (1.8 mg/kg) + R-GemOx (R, 375 mg/m 2 ; Gem, 1000 mg/m 2 ; Ox, 100 mg/m 2 ) given every 21 days for up to 8 cycles. Safety was assessed by the incidence, nature, and severity of adverse events (AEs; NCI CTCAE v5.0), with a focus on peripheral neuropathy (PN). Dose interruptions and reductions were used to assess tolerability. Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor was given as primary prophylaxis with each cycle (C) of therapy; anti-infective prophylaxis for pneumocystis and herpes virus was mandatory. Results: As of October 26, 2021, 15 pts were enrolled and 11 (73%) pts received ≥4 cycles of Pola-R-GemOx. Median age was 76 (range 47–87) years, 10 (67%) pts had an IPI score of 3–5, 7 (47%) had ≥2 prior therapy lines, and 8 (53%) were refractory to last treatment. Grade (Gr) 3–4 AEs were reported in 5 (33%) pts: thrombocytopenia (20%) and neutropenia (13%) were the most common. Two (13%) pts had serious AEs (Gr 3 febrile neutropenia and Gr 3 infection [n = 1 each]). There were no Gr 5 AEs or AEs leading to drug discontinuation. Eight (53%) pts had Gr 1 or 2 PN; there were no cases of Gr >3 PN. Three (20%) pts had drug interruptions due to PN. Two (13%) pts had a dose reduction of polatuzumab vedotin and oxaliplatin due to PN at C5 and C8, respectively; one pt (7%) had a dose reduction of polatuzumab vedotin due to Gr 4 thrombocytopenia at C2. End-of-treatment (EOT) objective response rate was 40% (95% CI: 16–68) and complete response rate was 27% (95% CI: 8–55); 7 (47%) pts had progressive disease at EOT. Ten (67%) pts received subsequent therapies following Pola-R-GemOx, including CAR-T cell therapy (n = 3) and stem-cell transplant (n = 1). Conclusions: In the safety run-in stage, Pola-R-GemOx was safe and tolerable. PN was manageable with dose interruptions and reductions; no cases of Gr ≥3 PN were observed. The toxicity of this combination did not compromise delivery of subsequent treatments. POLARGO is currently enrolling pts to receive Pola-R-GemOx vs R-GemOx; results will be presented at a future meeting. Clinical trial information: NCT04182204.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
