At least one previous therapy line must have included a CD20-targeted therapy (e.g. RTX). d) Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2 5. Patients after failure of ASCT or patients considered in the opinion of the investigator currently not eligible for HDC with subsequent ASCT. Documentation of the reason for ineligibility for ASCT must be present in the patient’s source data. Laboratory Values 6. Patients must meet the following laboratory criteria at Screening: a) absolute neutrophil count (ANC) =1.5 × 10E9/L (unless secondary to bone marrow involvement by DLBCL as demonstrated by bone marrow aspiration and bone marrow biopsy required for Screening) b) platelet count =90 × 10E9/L (unless secondary to bone marrow involvement by DLBCL as demonstrated by bone marrow aspiration and bone marrow biopsy required for Screening) and absence of active bleeding c) total serum bilirubin =2.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) unless secondary to Gilbert’s syndrome (or pattern consistent with Gilbert’s) or documented liver involvement by lymphoma. Patients with Gilbert's syndrome or documented liver involvement by lymphoma may be included if their total bilirubin is =5 x ULN (see exclusion criterion 6e) d) ALT, AST and alkaline phosphatase (AP) =3 × ULN or <5 × ULN in cases of documented liver involvement by lymphoma e) serum creatinine =2.0 x ULN or creatinine clearance must be =40 mL/min, calculated using a standard Cockcroft-Gault formula 7. For a female of childbearing potential (FCBP), a negative pregnancy test must be confirmed before enrolment. An FCBP must commit to take highly effective contraceptive precautions without interruption during the study and for 3, 6 or 12 months after the last dose of MOR00208, BEN or RTX respectively, whichever is later. An FCBP must refrain from breastfeeding and donating blood or oocytes during the course of the study and for 3, 6 or 12 months after the last dose of MOR00208, BEN or RTX respectively, whichever is later. Restrictions concerning blood donations apply as well to females
