- People aged 18 or older
- People with a general health/activity level rated 0, 1, or 2 on a standard medical scale (meaning able to carry out at least some daily activities — confirm with trial site)

- People for whom at least 30 days have passed since their CAR T-cell therapy infusion
- People whose cancer cells show no detectable CD19 protein after CAR T-cell therapy
- People who have not received any additional cancer treatment after CAR T-cell therapy, except for palliative radiation therapy

- People with no evidence or suspicion of lymphoma affecting the brain or spinal cord
- Women who could potentially become pregnant must have a negative pregnancy test before joining
- People who have fully recovered from any serious side effects (specifically CRS or ICANS) related to their CAR T-cell therapy
Who may not be able to join:
- People with significant fluid build-up in the abdomen requiring drainage, or fluid around the lungs causing breathing difficulty
- People with a history of another cancer (other than certain non-invasive or easily treated skin or localised cancers) unless they have been cancer-free for at least 12 months
- People with a history of a specific transformation of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) called Richter's transformation
- People whose most recent treatment before this trial was CAR T-cell therapy received as part of another clinical trial
- People who have previously been treated with loncastuximab tesirine (lonca)
- People with an active infection that is not under control or that requires intravenous antibiotics (minor infections that are responding to treatment may be considered — confirm with trial site)
- People with a known history of HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C where the virus is still detectable in the blood
- People with lymphoma actively involving the heart chambers
- People who have had a heart attack, heart procedure, unstable chest pain, or other significant heart condition within the past 12 months

- Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, due to potential risks to the baby
- People who are not willing to use effective contraception during and after the trial — women of childbearing potential must use highly effective contraception for 9 months after the last dose of lonca, and men with female partners who could become pregnant must use a condom for 6 months after the last dose
