Part 1 consists of a non-randomized safety run-in period evaluating the study drug for the first 20 participants. Participants will receive Lonca-R on Day 1 of each cycle for up to 8 cycles, where 1 cycle is 3 weeks. Lonca-R will be administered via an intravenous infusion of loncastuximab tesirine 150 µg/kg + rituximab 375 mg/m^2 Q3W for 2 cycles, then loncastuximab tesirine 75 µg/kg + rituximab 375 mg/m^2 Q3W for up to 6 additional cycles.

Randomized participants will receive Lonca-R on Day 1 of each cycle for up to 8 cycles, where 1 cycle is 3 weeks. Lonca-R will be administered via an intravenous infusion of loncastuximab tesirine 150 µg/kg + rituximab 375 mg/m^2 every Q3W for 2 cycles, then loncastuximab tesirine 75 µg/kg + rituximab 375 mg/m^2 Q3W for up to 6 additional cycles.

Randomized participants will receive R-GemOx consisting of rituximab, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin as a standard immunochemotherapy treatment on Day 1 or Day 2 of each cycle for up to 8 cycles, where 1 Cycle is 2 weeks. R-GemOx will be administered via an intravenous infusion of rituximab 375 mg/m^2 + gemcitabine 1000 mg/m^2 + oxaliplatin 100 mg/m^2 every 2 weeks (Q2W) for up to 8 cycles.

Inclusion Criteria: Male or female participant aged 18 years or older Pathologic diagnosis of DLBCL, as defined by the 2016 World Health Organization classification (including participants with DLBCL transformed from indolent lymphoma), or high-grade B-cell lymphoma, with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements Relapsed (disease that has recurred following a response) or refractory (disease that failed to respond to prior therapy) disease following at least one multi-agent systemic treatment regimen [For China only: Adequate first line anti-DLBCL therapy is defined as having received at least 4 cycles of multiagent systemic treatment regimen containing rituximab and anthracycline, unless the participants are intolerant to the regimen, or had disease progression during the treatment. If disease progression occurred during the treatment period, then the disease is considered refractory where the number of treatment cycles will not be specified. For participants who are ineligible for anthracycline, anthracycline is not required.] Not considered by the investigator to be a candidate for stem cell transplantation based on performance status, advanced age, and/or significant medical comorbidities such as organ dysfunction Measurable disease as defined by the 2014 Lugano Classification as assessed by positron-emission tomography (PET)- computed tomography (CT) or by CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) if tumor is not fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-avid on screening PET-CT Availability of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue block (or minimum 10 freshly cut unstained slides if block is not available) Note: Any biopsy since initial diagnosis is acceptable, but if several samples are available, the most recent sample is preferred [For China only: This inclusion criterion is not applicable] ECOG performance status 0-2 Adequate organ function as defined by screening laboratory values within the following parameters: Absolute neutrophil count ≥1000/μL (off growth factors for at least 72 hours) Platelet count ≥100000/μL without transfusion within the past 2 weeks ALT, AST, and GGT ≤2.5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN) Total bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN (participants with known Gilbert's syndrome may have a total bilirubin up to ≤3 × ULN) Calculated creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min by the Cockcroft and Gault equation Note: A laboratory assessment may be repeated a maximum of two times during the Screening period to confirm eligibility.
