Brief summary:
The overall purpose of the study is to determine if MEDI-551, when used in combination with salvage chemotherapy, Ifosfamide-carboplatin-etoposide (ICE) or Dexamethasone-cytarabine (DHAP) in patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL who are eligible for Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT), has superior efficacy compared to rituximab in the same population.

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: Participants will receive Rituximab in combination with ifosfamide + carboplatin + etoposide (ICE) or dexamethasone + cisplatin + cytarabine (DHAP) for 3 cycles (21-day cycles) and will followed until end of the study (36 months after the date of randomization for last participant, or date the sponsor stops the trial, whichever occurs first). Rituximab (375 mg/m\^2) will be administered intravenous (IV) on 2 days before the start of Cycle 1 and on Day 1 of each cycle. After completion of rituximab, IV infusion of ICE as: ifosfamide 5 g/ m\^2 continuously for 24 hours with mesna on Day 2; carboplatin AUC=5 mg/mL x min (800 mg maximum) on Day 2; etoposide 100 mg/ m\^2 on Days 1, 2, and 3 in 21-day cycles. After completion of rituximab, IV infusion of DHAP as: dexamethasone 40 mg on Days 1, 2, 3, and 4; cisplatin 100 mg/m\^2 continuously for 24 hours on Day 1; cytarabine 2 g/m\^2 in 3-hour infusion repeated after 12 hours (2 doses) on Day 2 in 21-day cycles. arm 2: Participants will receive MEDI-551 (2 mg/kg) in combination with ICE or DHAP for 3 cycles (21-day cycles) and will be followed until end of the study (36 months after the date of randomization for last participant, or date the sponsor stops the trial, whichever occurs first). MEDI-551 (2 mg/kg) will be administered IV on 7 days before the start of Cycle 1 and on Day 1 of each cycle. After completion of MEDI-551, IV infusion of ICE as: ifosfamide 5 g/ m\^2 continuously for 24 hours with mesna on Day 2; carboplatin AUC=5 mg/mL x min (800 mg maximum) on Day 2; etoposide 100 mg/ m\^2 on Days 1, 2, and 3 in 21-day cycles. After completion of MEDI-551, IV infusion of DHAP as: dexamethasone 40 mg on Days 1, 2, 3, and 4; cisplatin 100 mg/m\^2 continuously for 24 hours on Day 1; cytarabine 2 g/m\^2 in 3-hour infusion repeated after 12 hours (2 doses) on Day 2 in 21-day cycles. arm 3: Participants will receive MEDI-551 (4 mg/kg) in combination with ICE or DHAP for 3 cycles (21-day cycles) and will be followed until end of the study (36 months after the date of randomization for last participant, or date the sponsor stops the trial, whichever occurs first). MEDI-551 (4 mg/kg) will be administered IV on 7 days before the start of Cycle 1 and on Day 1 of each cycle. After completion of MEDI-551, IV infusion of ICE as: ifosfamide 5 g/ m\^2 continuously for 24 hours with mesna on Day 2; carboplatin AUC=5 mg/mL x min (800 mg maximum) on Day 2; etoposide 100 mg/ m\^2 on Days 1, 2, and 3 in 21-day cycles. After completion of MEDI-551, IV infusion of DHAP as: dexamethasone 40 mg on Days 1, 2, 3, and 4; cisplatin 100 mg/m\^2 continuously for 24 hours on Day 1; cytarabine 2 g/m\^2 in 3-hour infusion repeated after 12 hours (2 doses) on Day 2 in 21-day cycles.

Interventions: intervention 1: MEDI-551 2 mg/kg intervention 2: Rituximab intervention 3: ICE intervention 4: DHAP intervention 5: Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT) intervention 6: MEDI-551 4 mg/kg
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: MEDI-551 at the assigned dose will be administered via Intravenous (IV) infusion. Subjects will receive 3 cycles of M-ICE or M-DHAP unless CR is achieved at the end of Cycle 2, disease progression is noted at the end of Cycle 2, or a significant/serious drug related toxicity occurs (as per the opinion of the investigator). intervention 2: Rituximab at 375 mg/m2 will be administered via IV infusion 2 days before the start of Cycle 1 and on Day 1 of each cycle. The infusion time for rituximab will be 50 400 mg/hr, depending on subject's tolerance. Subjects will receive 3 cycles of Rituximab with Ice (R ICE) or Rituximab with DHAP (R-DHAP) unless CR is achieved at the end of Cycle 2, disease progression is noted at the end of Cycle 2, or a significant/serious drug related toxicity occurs (as per the opinion of the investigator). intervention 3: ICE will be administered via IV infusion as follows: ifosfamide 5 g/m2 continuously for 24 hours with mesna on Days 2 and 3; carboplatin AUC=5 mg/mL x min \[800 mg maximum) on Day 2; etoposide 100 mg/m2 on Days 1, 2, and 3) in 21-day cycles. intervention 4: DHAP will be administered via IV infusion as follows: dexamethasone 40 mg on Days 1, 2, 3, and 4; cisplatin 100 mg/m2 continuously for 24 hours on Day 1 of dosing cycle; cytarabine 2 g/m2 in 3-hour infusion repeated after 12 hours (2 doses) on Day 2 in 21-day cycles. intervention 5: Subjects who achieve CR or PR will undergo stem cell harvest and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) following standard institutional protocols. intervention 6: MEDI-551 at the assigned dose will be administered via Intravenous (IV) infusion. Subjects will receive 3 cycles of M-ICE or M-DHAP unless CR is achieved at the end of Cycle 2, disease progression is noted at the end of Cycle 2, or a significant/serious drug related toxicity occurs (as per the opinion of the investigator).
