Abbreviations: DLBCL, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; CR, complete response; CRu, unconfirmed CR; FL, follicular lymphoma; FLIPI, Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index; IPI, International Prognostic Index; MTD, maximum-tolerated dose; N/R, not reached; ORR, objective response rate; PD, progressive disease; PFS, progression-free survival; PR, partial response; SD, stable disease.

*

ORR includes CR, CRu, and PR.

All patients with FL enrolled to receive MTD treatment (five enrolled in part 1; 34 enrolled in part 2).

All patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL who were enrolled to receive MTD treatment (42 relapsed DLBCL [two patients enrolled in part 1; 40 enrolled in part 2, group 2], 20 refractory DLBCL [part 2, group 3], and five refractory transformed FL [part 2, group 3]). One patient enrolled in part 2, group 2 did not receive study treatment.
