Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Participants with nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma. 2. Known cerebral or meningeal disease (HL or any other etiology), including signs or symptoms of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). 3. Symptomatic neurologic disease compromising normal activities of daily living or requiring medications. 4. Any motor or sensory peripheral neuropathy. 5. Any active systemic viral, bacterial, or fungal infection requiring systemic antibiotics within two weeks prior to the first dose of study drugs. 6. Prior immunosuppressive chemotherapy, therapeutic radiation, or any immunotherapy (e.g., immunoglobulin replacement, other monoclonal antibody therapies) within 12 weeks of the first dose of study drugs. 7. History of other malignancy within previous 3 years before the first dose or previously diagnosed with another malignancy and have any evidence of residual disease, except for appropriately treated carcinoma in situ of any type and non-melanoma skin carcinoma. 8. Positive Hepatitis B serology (either HBsAg or anti-HBc) or Hepatitis C serology (positive HCVAb or HCV RNA) indicative of previous or current infections. 9.

Any of the following cardiovascular conditions or values within 6 months before the first dose of study drugs: a. Left ventricular ejection fraction less than equal to 50 percentage by 2D echocardiography (2D ECHO) b. Myocardial infarction within 2 years of randomization c.

Receipt of any investigational drug within 30 days or five half lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of study drugs or enrolment in another interventional clinical study. 13. Documented medical history of a poorly controlled/clinically significant medical condition or laboratory parameters, such as but not limited to, poorly controlled diabetes (HbA1c greater than 8 percentage despite medical treatment), active peptic ulcer disease, interstitial lung disease, blood coagulation disorders, or other relevant medical disease, such as a neurological, psychiatric, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, or endocrine disease or a history of clinically significant hematological, renal, or liver disease or any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would put the patient at risk by participation in the trial or deemed by the clinician to be likely to interfere with a participant s compliance and ability to provide informed consent, cooperate, or participate in the study, or to interfere with the interpretation of the results. 14. History of significant alcohol or drug abuse within past 1 year.
