Inclusion Criteria
  1. Capable of giving signed informed consent as described in Appendix 2: Regulatory, Ethical, and Trial Oversight Considerations, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol. 2. Patient must be at least 18 years of age and of legal age (whichever is higher) in the jurisdiction in which the study is taking place at the time of signing the informed consent. 3. One of the following histologically confirmed diagnoses: • DLBCL not otherwise specified (NOS) • T cell/histiocyte-rich large B-cell lymphoma (THRLBCL) • Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) positive DLBCL of the elderly (EBV-positive DLBCL) • Grade 3b Follicular Lymphoma • Composite lymphoma with a DLBCL component with a subsequent DLBCL relapse, according to the Revised European American Lymphoma/World Health Organization (REAL/WHO) classification. Additionally, patients with the evidence of histological transformation to DLBCL from an earlier diagnosis of low-grade lymphoma (i.e., an indolent pathology such as follicular lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia) into DLBCL with a subsequent DLBCL relapse are also eligible. 4. Tumor tissue for retrospective central pathology review must be provided as an adjunct to participation in this study. If archival formalin fixed paraffin embedded tumor tissue acquired ≤3 years prior to screening is not available, a fresh tumor tissue sample from the patient should be obtained. Archival formalin fixed- paraffin embedded tumor tissue acquired >3 years prior to screening is acceptable only in cases where a fresh tumor biopsy cannot be collected due to a safety risk, e.g., due to co-morbidity, or inaccessible tumor site.

  2. Patients must have:a. Relapsed and/or refractory disease as defined in Appendix 3: Study Specific Definitions b. At least one bi-dimensionally measurable disease site. The lesion must have a greatest transverse diameter of ≥ 1.5 cm and greatest perpendicular diameter of ≥ 1.0 cm at baseline. The lesion must be positive on positron emission tomography (PET) scan (for definition see Juweid et al., 2007)c. Received at least one, but no more than three previous systemic regimens for the treatment of DLBCL and one therapy line must have included a cluster of differentiation-20 (CD20) targeted therapy (e.g., rituximab [RTX])d. An Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2. 6. Patients that are not eligible to undergo intensive salvage therapy including autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). The reason for a patient’s ineligibility must meet one of the criteria described below and documented in the patient’s source data:a. Inadequate performance status (Karnofsky performance status ≤ 80%; seeAppendix 5: Karnofsky Performance Status Scale) b. Disease not responsive to salvage chemotherapy. Responsiveness is defined as a tumor demonstrating either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) to salvage chemotherapy c. Inadequate major organ function (any of the below): i. symptomatic congestive heart failure ii. lung function-forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV-1), and corrected diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) ≤ 60% iii. liver function-total serum bilirubin and transaminases > 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN) d. History or evidence of significant co-morbid medical or psychiatric illness which would significantly compromise the patient’s clinical care and chances of survival e.Inability to collect adequate stem cell graft (e.g. < 1–2 x 106 CD34+ cells free of tumor contamination/kg recipient body weight)

  3. Patients must meet the following laboratory criteria at screening: a. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 109/L (unless secondary to bone marrow involvement by DLBCL as demonstrated by recent bone marrow aspiration and bone marrow biopsy) b. Platelet count ≥ 75 × 109/L (unless secondary to bone marrow involvement by DLBCL as demonstrated by recent bone marrow aspiration and bone marrow biopsy) c. Total serum bilirubin ≤ 2.5 × ULN unless secondary to Gilbert’s syndrome or documented liver involvement by lymphoma. Patients with Gilbert’s syndrome or documented liver involvement by lymphoma may be included if their total bilirubin is ≤ 5 × ULN (see exclusion criterion 6g) d. Alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≤ 3 × ULN or < 5 × ULN in cases of documented liver involvement e. Serum creatinine CL must be ≥ 60 mL/minute either measured or calculated using a standard Cockcroft and Gault formula (see Appendix 6: Cockcroft- Gault Formula)8. Patients who received previous CD19 targeted therapy (other than tafasitamab) must have CD19 positive lymphoma confirmed on a biopsy taken since completing the prior CD19 targeted therapy 9. Patients with primary refractory disease (Appendix 3: Study Specific Definitions) who received at least one, but no more than three previous systemic regimens (including a CD20 targeted therapy) for the treatment of DLBCL are eligible.

Not be pregnant as confirmed by a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and a medically supervised urine pregnancy test prior to starting study therapy b. Refrain from breast feeding and donating oocytes during the study and for 3 months after the last dose of study drug or according to local guidelines for LEN, whichever is longer c. Agree to ongoing pregnancy testing during the course of the study, and after study treatment has ended. This includes pregnancy testing and counseling if a patient misses her period or if there is any abnormality in her menstrual bleeding and applies even if the patient practices complete sexual abstinence d.

Use an effective barrier method of contraception without interruption if the patient is sexually active with a FCBP. Male patients should refrain from donating sperm during the study participation and for 3 months after the last dose of study treatment, or according to the local guidelines for LEN, whichever is longer.
