Study summary

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat follicular lymphoma (FL). A standard (usual) treatment for FL includes a targeted therapy called rituximab and chemotherapy. In this study, researchers want to learn if giving a study medicine called MK-1045 and rituximab can treat FL. MK-1045 is a type of treatment called immunotherapy.

The goals of this study are to learn:

* About the safety of MK-1045 and rituximab, and if people tolerate them when given together
* If people who receive MK-1045 and rituximab have the cancer go away
* If people who receive MK-1045 and rituximab live longer without their cancer getting worse compared to those who receive standard treatment (rituximab and chemotherapy)

Inclusion Criteria: * Has biopsy-proven, previously untreated, histologically confirmed cluster of differentiation (CD)19-positive and CD20-positive classical follicular lymphoma (FL), with Ann Arbor Stage II-IV disease and a Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (FLIPI) score of 2-5. * Has radiographically measurable disease per the Lugano Response Criteria. * Has provided a newly obtained core or excisional biopsy or archival tissue of a tumor lesion not previously irradiated. * If human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive, has well-controlled HIV on antiretroviral therapy (ART). * If hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive, has undetectable hepatitis B virus (HBV) viral load and has received HBV antiviral therapy for at least 4 weeks and will continue it. * If history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, has undetectable HCV viral load. Exclusion Criteria: * Has received prior systemic anticancer therapy or radiotherapy for FL. * Has follicular large B-cell lymphoma or any other subtype of FL other than classical FL. * Has FL that has transformed into a more aggressive type of lymphoma. * History or presence of clinically relevant central nervous system (CNS) diseases. * Has history of serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. * Is HIV-infected with a history of Kaposi's sarcoma and/or Multicentric Castleman's Disease. * Has received a live or live-attenuated vaccine within 30 days before the first dose of study intervention. * Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy. * Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 3 years. * Has known active CNS lymphoma or involvement. * Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years. * Has active infection requiring systemic therapy. * Has chronic liver disease, including liver cirrhosis of Child-Pugh class B or C. * Has not adequately recovered from major surgery or has ongoing surgical complications.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Part 1: Number of Participants Who Experience an Adverse Event (AE) — Up to approximately 15 months
    An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, disease, or worsening of preexisting condition temporally associated with study treatment and irrespective of causality to study treatment.
  • Part 1: Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Treatment Due to an AE — Up to approximately 12 months
    An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, disease, or worsening of preexisting condition temporally associated with study treatment and irrespective of causality to study treatment.
  • Part 1: Number of Participants Who Experience Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) — Up to approximately 36 days
    DLT will be defined as any drug-related AE observed during the DLT evaluation period that results in a change to a given dose or a delay in initiating the next cycle.
  • Part 1: Complete Response (CR) Rate — Up to approximately 60 months
    For participants who demonstrate a confirmed Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) per Lugano response criteria. CR rate is defined as the percentage of participants who experience a CR. The CR rate as assessed by physician investigator will be presented.
  • Part 2: Progression-Free Survival (PFS) — Up to approximately 63 months
    PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression per Lugano response criteria by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
