A minimum measurement must be >15 mm in the longest diameter or >10 mm in the short axis. • Provide an evaluable core or excisional lymph node biopsy for biomarker analysis from an archival (=60 days relative to the date of sample submission to the central laboratory) or newly obtained biopsy at Screening. 3.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Part 1 and Part 2 participants: active HBV/HCV infection. See Inclusion Criteria 7 (HBV) and 8 (HCV) for requirements. 2.
