study to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of debio 1562 in combination with rituximab in participants with relapsed and/or refractory dlbcl and other forms of nhl

Conditions: Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma; B-cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Summary: the primary purpose of the study was to determine the safety and tolerability, anti-tumor activity of the proposed debio 1562 dose regimens in combination with rituximab.
