Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Event-free Survival (EFS) by Blinded Central Assessment [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    EFS, is defined as the time from randomization to the earliest occurrence of death due to any cause, disease progression/relapse, initiation of any non-protocol specified subsequent new lymphoma therapy for the treatment of residual disease or Biopsy-proven residual disease at the Month 6 disease assessment or later, regardless of whether subsequent new lymphoma therapy is initiated or not.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS) by Blinded Central Assessment [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    PFS is defined as the time from randomization to disease progression or death due to any cause.

  2. Overall Survival [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause.

  3. PFS by Investigator Assessment [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    PFS is defined as the time from randomization to disease progression or death due to any cause.

  4. Complete Response (CR) Rate by Blinded Central Assessment [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    CR rate is defined as the proportion of participants who have achieved CR per Lugano classification after treatment completion and prior to subsequent new off protocol anti-lymphoma therapy.

  5. Percentage of Participants Experiencing Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Deaths [ Time Frame: First dose date up to 5 years plus 30 days ]
  6. Percentage of Participants Experiencing Clinically Significant Changes in Safety Laboratory Values [ Time Frame: First dose date up to 5 years plus 30 days ]
  7. Change From Baseline in the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer-Quality of Life Questionnaire-30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) Score [ Time Frame: Baseline, Month 18 ]
    The EORTC-QLQ-C30 is a multi-item questionnaire measuring the following content: five (5) multi-item functional scales, three (3) multi-item symptom scales, six (6) symptom single-item scales, one (1) global health status scale, and one (1) global health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Each scale is measured from 0 to 100 after a linear transformation. Higher scores for functioning scales and for the Global Health Status or Global HRQoL scales indicate a higher level of functioning and a better HRQoL respectively, whereas higher scores in symptom scales represent a higher level of symptoms.

  8. Change From Baseline in European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire - Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma High Grade Module (EORTC QLQ-NHL-HG29) Score [ Time Frame: Baseline, Month 18 ]
    The EORTC QLQ-NHL-HG29 is a 29-item patient-reported assessment measuring patients' high-grade NHL-specific symptoms and functioning. The 29 items assess symptom burden due to disease and/or treatment, fatigue/physical condition, neuropathy, emotional impacts, and worries/fears health and functioning. Each scale is measured from 0 to 100 after a linear transformation. Higher scores for functional scales indicate a higher level of functioning and a better HRQoL, whereas higher scores in symptom scales represent a higher level of symptoms.

  9. Change From Baseline in the European Quality of Life Five Dimensions Five Levels Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) Score [ Time Frame: Baseline, Month 18 ]
    The EQ-5D-5L questionnaire is a generic measure of health status that provides a simple descriptive profile and a single index value. The EQ-5D-5L comprises 2 components: a questionnaire covering 5 dimensions and a tariff of values based upon direct valuations of health states using a visual analog scale (VAS). Rating gets recorded on a vertical VAS in which the endpoints are labeled best imaginable health state is 100 (on the top) and worst imaginable health state is 0 (on the bottom). Higher scores of EQ VAS indicate better health.
