This is an open label, multi-center, international, randomized phase III trial to compare the efficacy of Mosunetuzumab-Lenalidomide with investigator choices exclusively in R/R MZL patients. Patients with a proven diagnosis of EMZL, SMZL or NMZL subtypes and previously treated with at least one prior systemic treatment and not more than three prior lines are eligible. Previous treatment line must include at least one systemic line with a drug targeting CD20 (monoclonal antibody at least 2 cycles) with or without chemotherapy (R-CHOP, R-Bendamustine, R-CVP, R-Chlorambucil at least 2 cycles) or targeted treatment such as Ibrutinib.
The patients will be Randomized as follows:
Arm A - Experimental arm:
Arm B - Comparator arms ( Investigator Choices):
This is an open label, multi-center, international, randomized phase III trial to compare the efficacy of Mosunetuzumab-Lenalidomide with investigator choices exclusively in R/R MZL patients. Patients with a proven diagnosis of EMZL, SMZL or NMZL subtypes and previously treated with at least one prior systemic treatment and not more than three prior lines are eligible. Previous treatment line must include at least one systemic line with a drug targeting CD20 (monoclonal antibody at least 2 cycles) with or without chemotherapy (R-CHOP, R-Bendamustine, R-CVP, R-Chlorambucil at least 2 cycles) or targeted treatment such as Ibrutinib.
Patients are stratified according to MZL subtypes and time to progression of disease after first-line within 2 years (POD24) \< 2 years or > 2 years.
Mosunetuzumab will be administered sub-cutaneously (SC) (21 days first cycle, then 28 days next cycles) and Lenalidomide will be given PO 20 mg/day from Day 1 to Day 21 from cycles C2 to C6. For each patient, investigator choice had to be decided before randomization between Rituximab-Lenalidomide and Rituximab-chemotherapy (R-Bendamustine or R-CHOP).
The primary efficacy endpoint for comparison is the Progression-free survival (PFS) as determined by investigator (Lugano criteria 2014). Secondary objectives include CR24 as determined by investigator (at 24 months) according to Lugano criteria 2014 and by central review based on PET result, Overall response rate (ORR) and CR other than CR24 as determined by investigator, or by central review based on PET result according to Lugano Criteria 2014. 260 patients are planned to be enrolled in France, Belgium, Germany, Italy and Portugal
414 studies on the registry are indexed under Lymphoma, B-Cell, Marginal Zone; 108 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 260 is above the median of 43 across 365 interventional studies indexed under Lymphoma, B-Cell, Marginal Zone.

Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Have a biopsy proven diagnosis of MZL, extranodal (EMZL) or nodal (NMZL) Or have a diagnosis of splenic MZL (SMZL) based on mandatory 13 flow cytometry markers: surface immunoglobulins (SmIg), CD5, CD23, FMC7, CD22 or CD79b, CD200, CD180, CD20, CD43, CD11c, CD10,CD103 and CD123 and validated by a centralized review.
In case of large dissemination, disseminated MZL (as evaluated by investigator; please contact the Sponsor to discuss any doubt) will be included as DMZL and included in NMZL subtype. Participants with high tumor burden criteria are eligible.
Participants with borderline or related entities, such as splenic diffuse red pulp lymphoma (SDRPL), typical hairy cell leukemia (HCL), and HCL variant (HCLv), are not eligible.
Measurable disease in at least two perpendicular dimensions on an imaging scan is defined as: lymph node or nodal mass bi-dimensional measurement with ≥ 15 mm in longest transverse diameter or the short diameter must measure ≥ 10 mm regardless of the longest transverse diameter.
Spleen is considered as a measurable disease if vertical axis is higher than 130 mm.
Adequate hematopoietic function at screening as follows unless cytopenia is clearly due to marrow involvement of MZL or hypersplenism or autoimmune thrombocytopenia:
11.1. Platelet count ≥ 75 G/L; in cases of thrombocytopenia clearly due to marrow involvement of MZL or hypersplenism or auto-immune thrombocytopenia, platelet count should be ≥ 30 G/L. Washout platelet transfusion is 7 days between transfusion and D1 of starting treatment 11.2. Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥ 1 G/L unless neutropenia is clearly due to marrow involvement of MZL or hypersplenism. G-CSF is not allowed within 7 days before starting treatment 11.3. Total hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL unless anemia is clearly due to marrow involvement of MZL or hypersplenism or autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Washout erythrocyte transfusion is 7 days between transfusion and D1 of starting treatment
