Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of zilovertamab
vedotin as monotherapy and in combination in participants with select B-cell lymphomas
including mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), Richter's transformation lymphoma (RTL), follicular
lymphoma (FL), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). This study will also evaluate
zilovertamab vedotin as monotherapy and in combination with respect to objective response
rate.
- Cohort A: Participants with relapsed or refractory MCL relapsed or refractory
disease after at least 2 prior systemic therapies including a Bruton's tyrosine
kinase inhibition/inhibitor (BTKi), and post therapy chimeric antigen receptor T
(CAR-T) cell therapy or ineligible for CAR-T cell therapy
- Cohort B: Participants with relapsed or refractory RT disease after at least 1 prior
systemic therapy
- Cohort C: Participants with relapsed or refractory MCL relapsed or refractory
disease after at least 1 prior systemic therapy and no prior exposure to a
non-covalent BTKi
- Cohort D: Participants with relapsed or refractory FL and CLL relapsed or refractory
disease after at least 2 prior systemic therapies and have no other available
therapy
- Cohort E: Participants with relapsed or refractory FL after at least 2 prior
systemic therapies and have no other available therapy
- Cohort F: Participants with relapsed or refractory CLL after at least 2 prior
systemic therapies and have no other available therapy
The primary study hypothesis is that zilovertamab vedotin monotherapy has an increased
Objective Response Rate (ORR) per Lugano Response Criteria as assessed by blinded
independent central review (BICR).

Primary outcome:
1. Percentage of Participants with ≥1 Adverse Event (AE) [cohort C and D] (Time Frame - Up to approximately 57 months):
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally
associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the
study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including
an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally
associated with the use of a study intervention. The percentage of participants with MCL,
FL, and CLL who experienced an AE will be reported.
2. Percentage of Participants Discontinuing from Study Therapy Due to AE (cohort C and D) (Time Frame - Up to approximately 57 months):
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally
associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the
study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including
an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally
associated with the use of a study intervention. The percentage of participants with MCL,
FL, and CLL who discontinued study treatment due to an AE will be reported.
3. Percentage of Participants with Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) [cohort C] (Time Frame - Up to approximately 57 months):
The Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), Version 5.0 will be used to
grade the severity of AEs. DLTs for participants with MCL as assessed by investigator
will be reported.
4. Objective Response Rate (ORR) per Lugano Response Criteria as Assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) [cohorts A, B, E and FL participants in D] (Time Frame - Up to approximately 57 months):
ORR, defined as the percentage of participants who achieve a complete response (CR) or
partial response (PR) per Lugano Response Criteria as assessed by BICR will be reported.
5. ORR per Lugano Response Criteria as Assessed by Investigator (cohort C) (Time Frame - Up to approximately 57 months):
ORR, defined as the percentage of participants who achieve a complete response (CR) or
