Patients who are receiving any other investigational medicinal products. 7. Patients with known or suspected CNS involvement of lymphoma. 8. History of malignancy other than FL within 5 years prior to screening( i.e. patients with cancer diagnosed within 5 years prior to screening or who were diagnosed prior to 5 years and were not in CR or were on treatment within 5 years prior to screening), with the exception of malignancies with a negligible risk of metastasis or death (e.g. 5-year OS rate >90%), such as adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, non-melanoma skin carcinoma, localised prostate cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ, or Stage I uterine cancer. .9. Pregnant or breastfeeding women. 10. Exposure to another CD37 targeting drug. 11.

Pulmonary conditions e.g. unstable or uncompensated respiratory disease. 3. Hepatic, renal, neurological, or metabolic conditions - which in the opinion of the investigator would compromise the protocol objectives. 4. Psychiatric conditions e.g. patients unlikely to comply with the protocol, e.g. mental condition rendering the patient unable to understand the nature, scope, and possible consequences of participating in the study. 5. History of erythema multiforme, toxic epidermal necrolysis, or Stevens-Johnson syndrome. 6. Cardiac conditions in the previous 24 weeks (before date of consent), including i. history of acute coronary syndromes (including unstable angina). ii. class II, III, or IV heart failure as defined by the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification system. iii. known uncontrolled arrhythmias (except sinus arrhythmia).

Detailed Description

Part A of the study was a Phase 1/2a study to assess the safety and preliminary efficacy of different treatment regimens of Betalutin with expansion at the candidate recommended Phase 2 doses. Part B was a dedicated Phase 2b randomized substudy to further assess the efficacy and safety of the candidate recommended Phase II doses. Part C was a Phase 2a fixed dose expansion cohort planned to obtain supplementary pharmacokinetic data.
