This study will test polatuzumab vedotin in combination with rituximab in patients with treatment-naïve CD20-positive post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) based on the established efficacy of polatuzumab vedotin in B-cell lymphomas and the inadequate response rate of PTLD to single-agent rituximab. The hypothesis is that this combination therapy will be safe, well-tolerated, and effective. If so, patients with PTLD will be able to be spared the toxicity of anthracycline-based chemotherapy. Additionally, the role of the tumor microenvironment and the role of anellovirus, a non-human pathogen virus, will be explored as prognostic markers in PTLD.

RECRUITINGFrequency and severity of treatment-related adverse events (AEs)
Time frame: From start of treatment through 30 days after completion of treatment (estimated to be 5-7 months)
Number of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) (Safety Lead-In Cohort only)
A dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is defined as an occurrence of an adverse event delineated by the protocol that is at least possibly related to polatuzumab vedotin, rituximab, or the combination within Cycle 1 or Cycle 2.
Time frame: From start of treatment through cycle 2 (estimated to be 42 days, each cycle is 21 days)
Rate of completion of the regimen
Time frame: Through completion of treatment (estimated to be 4-6 months)
Complete metabolic response (CR) rate by PET/CT
-Per Lugano Response Criteria
Time frame: After cycle 2 (estimated to be day 42, each cycle is 21 days)
Complete metabolic response (CR) rate by PET/CT
-Per Lugano Response Criteria
Time frame: End of treatment (estimated to be between 4-6 months)
Overall response rate (ORR)
* Per Lugano Response Criteria * Overall Response Rate: The proportion of patients who have a complete or partial response to therapy.
Time frame: End of treatment (estimated to be between 4-6 months)
Best overall response
* Per Lugano Response Criteria * Best Overall Response: Best response recorded from start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence (taking as reference for PD the smallest measurements recorded since the treatment started).
Time frame: Through completion of treatment (estimated to be between 4-6 months)
Duration of response
* Per Lugano Response Criteria * Duration of Response: The time from onset of response to disease progression or death in patients who achieve complete or partial response.
Time frame: Through 5 years from completion of treatment (estimated to be between 64 and 66 months)
Progression-free survival (PFS)
* Per Lugano Response Criteria * Progression-Free Survival: The time from initiation of treatment to the occurrence of disease progression or death.
Time frame: Through 5 years from completion of treatment (estimated to be between 64 and 66 months)
Overall survival (OS)
-Overall Survival: The time from initiation of treatment to death.
Time frame: Through 5 years from completion of treatment (estimated to be between 64 and 66 months)
