This clinical trial is testing a treatment plan that includes a stem cell transplant followed by the drug Polatuzumab Vedotin for patients with certain types of B-cell Non-Hodgkin and Hodgkin Lymphoma. The study aims to see if this approach can help control the disease.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

In this study, patients with B-cell Non-Hodgkin and Hodgkin Lymphoma will first receive a stem cell transplant after undergoing one of two pre-treatment regimens. If their cancer shows a complete, partial, or stable response after the transplant, they will then receive Polatuzumab Vedotin through an IV every 21 days for a total of 8 doses. After completing this treatment, patients will have follow-up visits every 4 months for about 2 years to monitor their health and the effectiveness of the treatment.
