Overview
This is an open-label, multicenter study to evaluate safety and tolerability, determine the RP2Ds of tafasitamab alone in Japanese participants with R/R NHL, or to evaluate efficacy and safety of tafasitamab in combination with lenalidomide in Japanese participants with R/R DLBCL, or tafasitimab in combination with lenalidomide plus R-CHOP in Japanese participants with previously untreated DLBC, or tafasitimab in combination with lenalidomide in Japanese participants with previously R/R DLBC.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:

1. Not have a history of noncompliance in relation to medical regimens or be
considered potentially unreliable and/or uncooperative.
2. Be able to understand the reason for complying with the special conditions of the
pregnancy prevention risk management plan and give written acknowledgement of
this.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Any other histological type of lymphoma.
- History of prior non-hematologic malignancy.

- Known seropositive for or history of active viral infection with HIV.
- Known active bacterial, viral, fungal, mycobacterial, or other infection at screening.
- Known CNS lymphoma involvement - present or past medical history.
- History or evidence of clinically significant cardiovascular, CNS and/or other
systemic disease that would in the investigator's opinion preclude participation in
the study or compromise the participant's ability to give informed consent.
- History or evidence of rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase
deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption.
- History or evidence of interstitial lung disease.
- Vaccination with live vaccine within 21 days prior to study treatment (Note:
throughout the study treatment period and at least 6 months after end of treatment,
vaccination with live vaccines should be avoided).
- Major surgery within up to 30 days prior to signing the ICF, unless the participant is
recovered at the time of signing the ICF.
- Any anticancer and/or investigational therapy within 14 days prior to the start of
Cycle 1.
- Groups 2, 3, 4a, 5 and 6 only: Gastrointestinal abnormalities including the inability
to take oral study treatment, requiring IV alimentation, or prior surgical procedure
affecting absorption.
- Pregnancy or lactation.
- Groups 2, 3, 5 and 6 only: Participants who have history of deep venous
thrombosis/embolism, threatening thromboembolism, stroke or known thrombophilia or are
at a high risk for a thromboembolic event in the opinion of the investigator and who
are not willing/able to take venous thromboembolic event prophylaxis during the entire
treatment period if required
- Group 4a only: Use or expected use during the study of any restricted medications,
including potent CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers within 14 days or 5 half-lives
(whichever is longer) before the date of study treatment administration
- Groups 1, 3, 4a and 6 only: Participants who have:
1. Not discontinued CD20-targeted therapy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy,
investigational anticancer therapy, or other lymphoma-specific therapy within the
14 days prior to Day 1 dosing.
2. In the opinion of the investigator, not recovered sufficiently from the adverse
toxic effects of prior therapies.
3. Groups 1, 3 and 4a only: Previous treatment with CD19-targeted therapy (eg,
CD19-CAR-T therapies, other CD19 mAbs including bispecific and ADCs).
Groups 2 and 6 only: Previous treatment with tafasitamab. Note: Participants in
Groups 2 and 6 who have received previous CD19 directed therapy (other than
tafasitamab) must have CD19-positive lymphoma confirmed by a biopsy taken after
completing the prior CD19-targeted therapy.
4. Groups 2, 3 and 6 only: Been previously treated with IMiDs (eg, thalidomide or
LEN).
5. Group 4a only: Been previously treated with selective PI3Kδ or pan-PI3K
inhibitors (eg, idelalisib, copanlisib, duvelisib) and/or Bruton's tyrosine
kinase inhibitors (eg, ibrutinib).
6. A history of hypersensitivity to compounds of similar biological or chemical
composition to tafasitamab, IMiDs, and/or the excipients contained in the study
treatment formulations (citric acid monohydrate, polysorbate 20, sodium citrate
dehydrate and trehalose dihydrate).
7. Undergone ASCT within the period ≤ 3 months before the signing of the ICF.
Participants who have a more distant history of ASCT must exhibit full

3. Contraindication to any of the individual components of R-CHOP.
4. Any anticancer and/or investigational therapy within 30 days prior to the start
of Cycle 1, except for permitted prephase treatment defined below.
