  • Subject must have relapsed or refractory disease, as assessed by the investigator.
  • Subject must have measurable disease as follows: a. For FL subjects (Cohorts 1, 2, 3 and 3 Extension), PET-positive disease with at least one PET-positive lesion and at least one measurable nodal or extranodal lesion greater than 1.5 cm in the long axis (refer to protocol, Appendix G) b. MZL subjects (Cohort 4) with PET non-avid disease should have at least one measurable nodal lesion greater than 2.0 cm in the long axis (PET-positive disease is not required for MZL) - refer to protocol, Appendix G.
  • Subject must have received the following, depending on cohort assignment: a. Cohort 1 (4L+ r/r FL): received at least 3 prior lines of systemic therapy. At least one of these lines must be a combination which included an anti-CD20 antibody (eg, rituximab, obinutuzumab) and an alkylating agent. Prior HSCT is permitted as a prior line of therapy. A group of 4L+ double-refractory subjects will be enrolled in this cohort (refer to protocol section 4.2). b. Cohort 2 (3L r/r FL): received 2 prior lines of systemic therapy. At least one of these lines must be a combination which included an antiCD20 antibody (eg, rituximab, obinutuzumab) and an alkylating agent. Prior HSCT is permitted as a prior line of therapy. c. Cohort 3 (2L r/r FL): received 1 prior line of combination systemic therapy, which included an anti-CD20 antibody (eg, rituximab, obinutuzumab) and an alkylating agent. A group of POD24 subjects, defined as having progressive disease within 24 months of diagnosis and have received treatment within 6 months of the original FL diagnosis, will be enrolled to this cohort. The 2L subjects that do not meet this POD24 definition must instead meet one of the modified GELF criteria (NCCN, 2019) as outlined in protocol section 4.2, number 5. d.Cohort 3 Extension (2L r/r FL): received no more than 1 prior line of combination systemic therapy, which included an anti-CD20 antibody (eg, rituximab, obinutuzumab) and an alkylating agent, and i. has relapsed or refractory disease that has progressed within 24 months of initiation of first-line chemoimmunotherapy (POD24) OR ii. must meet at least one of the modified GELF criteria (NCCN, 2019), as outlined in Inclusion Criterion 5.e.Cohort 4 (3L+ r/r MZL): received at least 2 prior systemic therapies, including at least one line of combination systemic therapy, therapy with an anti-CD20 antibody (eg, rituximab, obinutuzumab) and an alkylating agent, or relapsed after HSCT.
