Genentech Oncology Co-pay Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get COLUMVI (glofitamab-gxbm) at Low or No Cost

COLUMVI (glofitamab-gxbm) is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or large B-cell lymphoma arising from follicular lymphoma (FL) after two or more lines of systemic therapy.[1] The Genentech Oncology Co-pay Assistance Program helps eligible patients with commercial insurance reduce out-of-pocket costs for COLUMVI, potentially paying as little as $0 for co-pays, co-insurance, or deductibles.[2][7]

About COLUMVI and Why Assistance Matters

COLUMVI (glofitamab-gxbm) is a bispecific CD20-directed CD3 T-cell engager administered via IV infusion in a healthcare setting, typically every week initially, then less frequently.[1] As an oncology treatment, it can be expensive, with costs often exceeding thousands per dose. High out-of-pocket expenses can lead to treatment delays or discontinuation. This program from Genentech bridges that gap for those who qualify, ensuring access to this life-saving therapy without financial hardship.[2][4]
