One or more co-morbidities, poor performance status and/or advanced age that in the opinion of the Investigator makes the subject medically unfit to receive ASCT or CAR-T therapy b. Active disease following induction and salvage chemotherapy or inadequate stem cell/CAR-T mobilization and/or apheresis c. Failure of prior ASCT or CAR-T d. Unable to receive CAR-T therapy due to financial, geographic, or insurance issues e. Unwilling to undergo ASCT or CAR-T treatment 6. Have at least one bi-dimensionally measurable lesion per Lugano (2014)1 as assessed by local imaging. For subjects staged with PET-CT, focal uptake in nodal and extranodal sites that is in keeping with lymphoma, according to the distribution and/or CT characteristics, is considered involvement with lymphoma, including but not limited to, spleen, liver, bone, and thyroid. 7. Willing to provide pre-treatment and on-treatment tumor biopsy tissue. a. Pre-treatment: fresh biopsy preferred but archival may be submitted if there has been no exposure to systemic anti-cancer or localized radiation at site of biopsy between date of biopsy and analysis. i. Confirmation of availability of the pre-treatment tumor biopsy or eligible archival tissue and request to obtain material must be made during screening period. b. On-treatment at study D70, unless deemed unsafe by the Investigator. 8. Demonstrate adequate organ function* as defined as: (please see protocol) 9. Life expectancy > 3 months. 10. A subject is eligible to participate if they are not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies: a. For females: i. Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP), or ii. A WOCBP who agrees to follow contraceptive guidance during the treatment period and for at least 120 days after the last dose of study treatment. b. Males who agree to follow contraceptive guidance during the treatment period and for at least 210 days after the last dose of study treatment 11. Ability to comply with protocol requirements Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 38 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 68

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Primary CNS lymphoma or active secondary CNS involvement and/or lymphomatous meningitis. CNS imaging and cerebrospinal fluid sampling are not mandatory in the absence of a clinical suspicion of lymphomatous involvement of the CNS. Chemotherapy, immunotherapy, major surgery, or investigational agent treatment within 28 days of D0 or 5 half-lives whichever is shorter, except as noted: a. Radiotherapy within 14 days of day 0. Subjects must have recovered from all radiation related toxicities, not require corticosteroids, and not have had radiation pneumonitis. b. Autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) within <100 days prior to D0. c. Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy within <28 days prior to D0 All treatment related toxicities related to prior therapies must be recovered to < Grade 1 or baseline, except for organ function criteria mandated by the inclusion criteria. Subjects with Grade 2 alopecia, peripheral neuropathy endocrine-related AEs requiring treatment or hormone replacement are eligible. 2. The following prior medications/procedures are exclusionary. a. Allogeneic stem cell transplant or allogeneic CAR-T therapy or solid organ transplant b. Prior therapy with anti-survivin therapy c. Anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2, or CTLA-4 agent d.

Prescribed or over-the-counter probiotic treatments f. Live-attenuated vaccine within 30 days of planned start of study therapy 3. Disorders that might interfere with study treatment including: a. History of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required steroids or current pneumonitis b. Unable to swallow tablets, malabsorption syndrome, short-gut syndrome, gastroparesis or any other gastrointestinal disease or dysfunction (e.g., nausea/vomiting/diarrhea that is CTCAE = Grade 2) that could interfere with absorption of study treatment c. Acute or chronic skin, microvascular disorders, and/or edema or lymphedema that could interfere with subcutaneous injection of DPX-Survivac or subsequent assessment of potential skin reactions. 4. Diagnosis of immunodeficiency disorder or history of active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years (i.e., with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is permitted. 5. Clinically severe cardiovascular disease (e.g., NYHA Class III or IV CHF, uncontrolled angina; history of myocardial infarction within 6 months or unstable angina or stroke within 30 days of study entry; uncontrolled hypertension; or clinically significant arrhythmias not controlled by medication). 6. Uncontrolled significant active infections. a. Subjects who are HBsAg positive are eligible if they have received HBV antiviral therapy for at least 4 weeks and have undetectable HBV viral load prior to randomization. Note: Subjects should remain on anti-viral therapy throughout study intervention and follow local guidelines for HBV anti-viral therapy post completion of study intervention. b. Subjects with HCV are eligible if HCV viral load is undetectable at scr

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To determine the objective response rate (ORR) in each of the study arms.;Secondary Objective: • To determine the safety profile of the treatment in each of the study arms • To determine the duration of response (DOR) in each of the study arms • To determine the time to response in each of the study arms • To determine the Progression-Free Survival in each of the study arms • To determine the disease control rate (DCR) in each of the study arms • To determine the complete response (CR) rate in each of the study arms • To assess patient reported outcomes (PRO) on quality of life in each of the study arms;Primary end point(s): Objective response rate centrally evaluated per Lugano (2014) and measured by the number of subjects per arm achieving a best response of partial or complete response (PR+CR) during the 2-year treatment period.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Approximately 24 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Rate of Adverse Events using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0; • Duration of response evaluated per Lugano (2014) and measured by the time between first documentation of objective response (CR or PR) until first radiologic evidence of confirmed progression; • Time to response starting from D0 until first documentation of objective response (CR or PR) per Lugano (2014); • Progression Free Survival starting from D0 until first radiologic evidence of confirmed progression per Lugano (2014); • Disease control rate evaluated per Lugano (2014) and measured by the number of subjects per arm achieving a best response of stable disease, partial or complete response (SD+PR+CR) during the 2-year treatment period; • Complete response evaluated per Lugano (2014) and measured by the number of subjects per arm achieving a best response of complete response (CR) during the 2year treatment period; • Patient reported outcomes collected using validated, disease-specific, quality of life questionnaires.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Approximately 24 months
