2.Has radiographically measurable DLBCL per the Lugano response criteria with at least 1 nodal lesion (nonirradiated) that is =1.5 cm in the long axis, regardless of length of the short axis, AND/OR extranodal lesion of =1.0 cm in the long and short axis.
Cohort A
3.Has relapsed or refractory DLBCL and is ineligible for or have failed ASCT and have failed at least 1 line of prior therapy. Participants with DLBCL who have failed at least 2 lines of prior therapy will be capped at 50%

Cohort B
5.Has relapsed or refractory DLBCL and is ineligible for or have failed ASCT and have failed at least 2 lines of prior therapy
