A Dose Finding and Safety Study of CC-220, Alone and in Combination With an Anti-CD20 Monoclonal Antibody (mAb) in Subjects With Relapsed or Refractory Lymphomas

This Phase 1/2, multicenter, open-label study to evaluate CC-220 alone, as well as in combination with an anti-CD20 mAb (rituximab or obinutuzumab) in subjects with relapsed or refractory (R/R) lymphoma. Subjects must have received at least 2 prior lines of therapy, and have at least one measurable lesion according to Lugano 2014 classification.

Study will consist of two parts: Part 1 (Dose Escalation) which will be followed by Part 2 (Dose Expansion).

   5. Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 ULN except in cases of Gilbert's syndrome, then ≤ 3.0 ULN.
   6. Estimated serum creatinine clearance of ≥ 50 mL/min
8. All subjects must:

9. Females of childbearing potential (FCBP1) must:

   a. Have 2 negative pregnancy tests as verified by the Investigator prior to starting study treatment. She must agree to ongoing pregnancy testing during the course of the study, and after end of study treatment.
10. Male subjects must:

Exclusion Criteria:

The presence of any of the following will exclude a subject from enrollment:

1. Any significant medical condition, active infection (including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 \[SARS-CoV-2) suspected or confirmed, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness that would prevent the subject from participating in the study.
2. Any condition including the presence of laboratory abnormalities, which places the subject at unacceptable risk if he/she were to participate in the study.
3. Life expectancy ≤ 3 months.
4. Diagnosis of lymphoblastic lymphoma.
5. Aggressive lymphoma relapse requiring immediate cytoreductive therapy to avoid potential life-threatening consequences (eg, due to tumor location).
