Bendamustine plus rituximab -Disease progression after completion of most recent therapy or refractory disease, defined as failure to achieve CR or PR to most recent therapy, and most recent therapy was an appropriate second-line (or later) systemic therapy for follicular lymphoma -Presence of measurable disease, defined as ≥ 1 nodal lesion that is > 2 cm in longest diameter, or ≥ 1 extranodal lesion that is > 1 cm in longest diameter -Availability of archival tissue confirming diagnosis of B-cell follicular lymphoma (or if archival tissue is not available, a copy of the pathology report confirming diagnosis of B-cell follicular lymphoma is required) -Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2 -Life expectancy ≥ 6 months -Adequate organ function defined as: a. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 750/mm3 (without growth factor support within 7 days) b. Platelet > 50,000/mm3 (without growth factor support or transfusion within 7 days) c. Creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min (as estimated by the Cockcroft-Gault or MDRD equation or as measured by nuclear medicine scan or 24-hour urine collection) d. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, and alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase ≤ 3.0 × upper limit of normal (ULN) e. Serum total bilirubin < 2.0 × ULN (unless documented Gilbert’s syndrome) Female patients of childbearing potential must practice highly effective methods of contraception initiated prior to first dose of study drug, for the duration of the study, and for ≥ 90 days after the last dose of Zanubrutinib, or 18 months after the last dose of obinutuzumab, whichever is longer. Highly effective contraceptive methods include the following: a. Combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with the inhibition of ovulation i. Oral, intravaginal or transdermal b. Progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with the inhibition of ovulation i. Oral, injectable, implantable c. An intrauterine device d. Intrauterine hormone-releasing system e. Bilateral tubal occlusion f. Vasectomized partner g. Sexual abstinence (defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the study treatment, starting the day prior to first dose of study drug, for the duration of the study, and for ≥ 90 days after the last dose of Zanubrutinib, or 18 months after the last dose of obinutuzumab, whichever is longer). Total sexual abstinence should only be used as a contraceptive method if it is in line with the patients’ usual and preferred lifestyle. Periodic abstinence (eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods), declaration of abstinence for the duration of exposure to investigational medicinal product, and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. Of note, barrier contraception (including male and female condoms with or without spermicide) is not considered a highly effective method of contraception and if used, this method must be used in combination with another acceptable method listed above. For patients using hormonal contraceptives such as birth control pills or devices, a second barrier method of contraception (eg, condoms) must be used. -Male patients if abstinent (as defined above), are eligible if vasectomized or if they agree to the use of barrier contraception in combination with other methods described above during the study treatment period and for ≥ 90 days after the last dose of Zanubrutinib or 18 months after the last dose of obinutuzumab, whichever is longer. -Ability to provide written informed consent and can understand and comply with the requirements of the study.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint is overall response rate determined by independent central review using Lugano Classification for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL), (modified from Cheson et al, 2014). The overall response rate is defined as the proportion of patients who achieve either complete response or partial response as best overall response. Best overall response is defined as best response achieved during the entire follow-up period. However, for the patients in arm B who cross over to arm A, the disease assessment after the crossover will not be included in the derivation of best overall response. |

E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Every 12 weeks for 24 months, then every 6 months for 24 months, then annually. |

E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Overall response rate determined by investigator assessment • Duration of response determined by independent central review and by investigator assessment, defined as the time from the date that response criteria are first met to the date that disease progression is objectively documented or death, whichever occurs first • Progression-free survival determined by independent central review and by investigator assessment, defined as the time from randomization to the date of first documentation of disease progression or death, whichever occurs first • Overall survival defined as the time from randomization to the date of death due to any reason. • Rate of complete response or complete metabolic rate determined by independent central review and by investigator assessment, defined as the proportion of patients who achieve complete response or complete metabolic rate as best overall response • Time-to-response determined by independent central review and by investigator assessment, defined as the time from randomization to the time the response criteria are first met Patient-reported outcomes measured by EORTC QLQ-C30 and EQ-5D-5L questionnaires • Safety parameters, including AEs, SAEs, clinical laboratory tests, physical exams, and vital signs • PK parameters such as apparent clearance of the drug from plasma (CL/F) and AUC0-12 |
