Inclusion Criteria
  • Male or female participant aged 18 years or older

  • Pathologic diagnosis of DLBCL, as defined by the 2016 World Health Organization classification (including participants with DLBCL transformed from indolent lymphoma), or high-grade B-cell lymphoma, with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements

  • Relapsed (disease that has recurred following a response) or refractory (disease that failed to respond to prior therapy) disease following at least one multi-agent systemic treatment regimen [For China only: Adequate first line anti-DLBCL therapy is defined as having received at least 4 cycles of multiagent systemic treatment regimen containing rituximab and anthracycline, unless the participants are intolerant to the regimen, or had disease progression during the treatment. If disease progression occurred during the treatment period, then the disease is considered refractory where the number of treatment cycles will not be specified. For participants who are ineligible for anthracycline, anthracycline is not required.]

  • Not considered by the investigator to be a candidate for stem cell transplantation based on performance status, advanced age, and/or significant medical comorbidities such as organ dysfunction

  • Availability of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue block (or minimum 10 freshly cut unstained slides if block is not available) Note: Any biopsy since initial diagnosis is acceptable, but if several samples are available, the most recent sample is preferred [For China only: This inclusion criterion is not applicable]

  • Known history of hypersensitivity to oxaliplatin or other platinum-based drugs, or gemcitabine, or rituximab, or any of their excipients
