10. For female participants of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraception, and agree to refrain from donating eggs, as defined below:
i.Female participants must remain abstinent or use contraceptive methods with a failure rate of \< 1% per year during the treatment period and for at least 18 months after pretreatment with obinutuzumab, 2 months after the final dose of glofitamab, 9 months after the final dose of polatuzumab vedotin, and 3 months after the final dose of tocilizumab (as applicable), whichever is longer. Women must refrain from donating eggs during this same period ii.A female participant is considered to be of childbearing potential if she is postmenarchal, has not reached a postmenopausal state (≥ 12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause), and is not permanently infertile due to surgery (i.e., removal of ovaries, fallopian tubes, and/or uterus) or another cause as determined by the investigator (e.g., Müllerian agenesis).

If required per local guidelines or regulations, locally recognized adequate methods of contraception and information about the reliability of abstinence will be described in the local Informed Consent Form.

Male participants must refrain from donating sperm during this same period.
ii.The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the individual. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not adequate methods of contraception. If required per local guidelines or regulations, locally recognized adequate methods of contraception and information about the reliability of abstinence will be described in the local Informed Consent Form.
