• −Prior exposure to any anthracycline, rituximab or cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3) targeted bispecific antibody.
• −Prior malignancy (or any other malignancy requiring active treatment), except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer, or other cancer from which the subject has been disease free for ≥ 2 years or which will not limit survival to \< 5 years. Subjects receiving adjuvant hormonal therapy for early breast or prostate cancer are eligible.
• −Significant or extensive cardiovascular disease such as New York Heart Association Class III or IV cardiac disease or Objective Assessment Class C or D, myocardial infarction within the last 6 months, unstable arrhythmias, or unstable angina. Subjects with controlled, asymptomatic atrial fibrillation during screening can enroll on study.

• −Patients with a known or suspected history of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)
• −History of illicit drug or alcohol abuse within 12 months prior to screening, in the InvestigatorPrincipal investigatorThe doctor or researcher responsible for running the study at a site.Read more →'s judgment.
• −Current history of CNS disease, such as stroke, epilepsy, CNS vasculitis, or neurodegenerative disease. Patients with a history of stroke who have not experienced a stroke or transient ischemic attack within the past 2 years and have no residual neurological deficient, as judged by the investigator, are allowed.
• −Active autoimmune disease which is not well controlled by therapy:
• −Participants with a history of autoimmune-related hypothyroidism on a stable dose of thyroid-replacement hormone may be eligible. Participants with controlled Type 1 diabetes mellitus who are on an insulin regimen are eligible for the study.
• −Patients with controlled Type 1 diabetes mellitus who are on an insulin regimen are eligible for the study.
• −Participants with active autoimmune disease with dermatologic manifestations are eligible for the study.
• −Participants with a history of immune thrombocytopenic purpura, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, Guillain-Barré syndrome, myasthenia gravis, myositis, rheumatoid arthritis, vasculitis, or other autoimmune disease will be excluded unless they have not required systemic therapy in the last 12 months
• −Administration of a live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks before study treatment infusion on Cycle 1/Day 1 or anticipation that such a live, attenuated vaccine will be required during the study. Live vaccines during the study and until participants' B- cells recover, are prohibited. Note: Influenza vaccination should be given during influenza season only. Participants must not receive live, attenuated influenza vaccine (e.g., FluMist) at any time during the study treatment period).
• −Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) \<1.0 x109/L (subjects with bone marrow involvement by lymphoma are eligible regardless of ANC).
• −Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≤ 9 g/dL
• −Platelets \<50 x109/L (subjects with bone marrow involvement by lymphoma are eligible regardless of platelet count)
• −Total serum bilirubin \>2 times the upper limit of normal (or \<3 times for Gilbert's disease or documented hepatic involvement by lymphoma), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \>3 times the upper limit of normal (or \>5 times for documented hepatic involvement by lymphoma)
• −Creatinine clearance \<30 mL/min.
• −Prothrombin time (PT)/ international normalized ratio (INR) \>2 times the upper limit of normal in the absence of anticoagulants or partial thromboplastin time (PTT) \>2 times the upper limit of normal in the absence of anticoagulants.
• −Concurrent participation in another therapeutic clinical trialInterventional studyA study where participants are given something to see what happens.Read more →.
• −Any other diseases, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical
• −Laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that would contraindicate the use of an investigational drug.
• −Current Grade \> 1 peripheral neuropathy by clinical examination or demyelinating form of Charcot Marie Tooth disease.
• −Known history of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy.

• −Breastfeeding or pregnant, or intending to become pregnant during the study or within 12 months after the final dose of Pola-R-CHP, 3 months after the final dose of tocilizumab (if applicable), or 2 months after the final dose of glofitamab. WOCBP must have a serum pregnancy test done a maximum of 7 days prior to treatment initiation and a negative result must be documented prior to recruitment.
• −Major surgical procedure within 4 weeks of first dose of study drug. Note: If a subject had major surgery, they must have recovered adequately from any toxicity and/or complications from the intervention before the first dose of study drug.
• −Use of any of the prohibited therapies including: investigational or unlicensed/unapproved agents; biologic agents (e.g., bevacizumab, erlotinib); immunotherapy/radio-immunotherapy; radiotherapy (with the exception of limited field palliative radiotherapy for bone pain or for soft tissue lesions after consultation with the SponsorSponsorThe organisation responsible for the study overall.Read more →); chemotherapy (apart from Pola-R-CHP per protocol); hormone therapy (other than contraceptives, hormone-replacement therapy, or megestrol acetate); chronic use of steroids (inhaled, topical or systemic)
