A Clinical Study of Zilovertamab Vedotin (MK-2140) Plus Rituximab Plus Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, and Prednisone (R-CHP) Versus Polatuzumab Vedotin Plus R-CHP in People With Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) (MK-2140-011/waveLINE-011)

Complete Response Rate (CRR) at End of Treatment (EOT) per Lugano Response Criteria

Timeframe: Up to approximately 31 months

CRR at EOT is defined as the percentage of participants who experience complete response (CR) per Lugano response criteria as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) at end of treatment. CR is complete metabolic (no/minimal FDG uptake) and radiologic response (target lesions regress to ≤1.5 cm in longest transverse diameter of a lesion) and no new lesions. Participants with missing data or who discontinue treatment or study prior to reaching EOT will be considered non-responders and included in the total number of participants.

Progression-free Survival (PFS) per Lugano Response Criteria

Timeframe: Up to approximately 51 months

PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression per Lugano response criteria by BICR or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

Overall Survival (OS)

Timeframe: Up to approximately 87 months

OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause.

Event-free Survival (EFS) per Lugano Response Criteria

Timeframe: Up to approximately 51 months

EFS is defined as the time from randomization to any of the following events: progressive disease per Lugano response criteria by BICR, death due to any cause, initiation of a new anti-caner therapy, or a positive biopsy for residual disease. The EFS for all participants will be presented.

Duration of CR

Timeframe: Up to approximately 51 months

For participants who demonstrate CR at EOT per Lugano response criteria by BICR, duration of complete response is defined as the time from the first documented evidence of CR at or before EOT until disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

Number of participants who experience one or more adverse events (AEs)

Timeframe: Up to approximately 9 months

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. The number of participants who experience at least one AE will be presented.

Number of participants who discontinue study intervention due to an AE

Timeframe: Up to approximately 6 months

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. The number of participants who experience at least one AE will be presented.

Change From Baseline in Health-Related Quality Of Life (HRQoL) on Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Lymphoma (FACT-Lym) Trial Outcome Index (TOI)

Timeframe: Baseline and up to Week 25

The FACT-Lym is a 42-item questionnaire designed to measure HRQoL and cancer-specific symptoms in non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients. Subscales include FACT-General (FACT-G), FACT-Trial Outcome Index (FACT-TOI), FACT-Lym total score (FACT-Lym TS), and the Lymphoma subscale (Lym S). The Lym S has a single domain consisting of 15 items specific to lymphoma burden with a score ranging from 0 to 60. FACT-G has 4 well-being domains, physical (7 items), social/family (7), emotional (6), and functional (7), with scores ranging from 0 to 108. FACT-TOI combines FACT-G's physical and functional domains with Lym S, with scores ranging from 0 to 116. FACT-Lym TS combines FACT-G with Lym S, with scores ranging from 0 to 168. The scoring of FACT-Lym is on a 5-point Likert scale from 0 to 4, with 0= not at all, 1= a little bit, 2= somewhat, 3=quite a bit, 4=very much. The higher the score the better the quality of life.

Change From Baseline in HRQoL on FACT-Lym Physical Well-being (PWB) (Items General Physical [GP]1 through GP7)

Timeframe: Baseline and up to Week 25

The FACT-Lym is a 42-item questionnaire designed to measure HRQoL and cancer-specific symptoms in non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients. Subscales include FACT-General (FACT-G), FACT-Trial Outcome Index (FACT-TOI), FACT-Lym total score (FACT-Lym TS), and the Lymphoma subscale (Lym S).

Change From Baseline in HRQoL on Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy/Gynecologic Oncology Group-Neurotoxicity (FACT/GOG-NTX) Neurotoxicity Subscale Score

Timeframe: Baseline and up to Week 25

The FACT/GOG-NTX provides a targeted assessment of symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, including sensory, motor, and auditory problems and cold sensitivity. It is an 11-item questionnaire designed to measure the neurotoxicity subscale. The scoring of FACT/GOG-NTX is on a 5-point Likert scale from 0 to 4, with 0= not at all, 1= a little bit, 2= somewhat, 3=quite a bit, 4=very much. To produce a Neurotoxicity Subscale score (range 0-44), the sum of the item scores are multiplied by the number of items in the subscale, then divided by the number of items answered.
