Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:

  • Exclusion Criteria:
  • Primary CNS lymphoma without evidence of systemic lymphoma.
  • Prior systemic lymphoma therapy (Note: 1 cycle of an anthracycline based regimen, such as rituximab, cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunorubicin, oncovin, and prednisone (R-CHOP), polatuzumab vedotin, rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (pola-R-CHP), dose-adjusted etoposide phosphate, prednisone, oncovin, cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunorubicin, and rituximab (EPOCH-R), or rituximab, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and methotrexate (R-Codox-M), and/or 1 dose of intrathecal therapy, will be allowed before enrollment \[Section 5.9\]). Note: Patients with prior treatment for indolent lymphoma are still eligible for participation as long as they did not receive anthracycline-based therapy.
  • Any uncontrolled or clinically significant cardiovascular disease including the following:
  • Myocardial infarction within 6 months before screening;
  • Unstable angina within 3 months before screening;
  • New York Heart Association class III or IV congestive heart failure;
  • History of clinically significant arrhythmias (eg, sustained ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, torsades de pointes).
  • Uncontrolled hypertension as indicated by ≥ 2 consecutive blood pressure measurements showing systolic blood pressure \> 170 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure \> 105 mm Hg at screening.
  • QT interval corrected with Fridericia's formula (QTcF) \> 450 msec or other significant electrocardiogram (EKG) abnormalities, including second-degree atrioventricular block Type II or third-degree atrioventricular block.
  • Active and/or ongoing autoimmune anemia and/or autoimmune thrombocytopenia (eg, idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura).
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness such as liver cirrhosis, autoimmune disorder requiring immunosuppression or long-term corticosteroids (\> 10 mg daily prednisone equivalent), or any other serious medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness which would compromise ability to comply with study procedures.
