Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria - Part 1

Inclusion Criteria - Part 1

• Subject has provided informed consent prior to initiation of any study-specific activities/procedures or subject's legally acceptable representative has provided informed consent prior to any study-specific activities/procedures being initiated when the subject has any kind of condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, may compromise the ability of the subject to give written informed consent.

  • High-risk first complete remission (defined as interim positron emission tomography - computed tomography (PET-CT) positive or < complete remission to frontline chemotherapy AND achieved complete remission to platinum-containing salvage)
  • Relapse within 1 year of diagnosis
  • Secondary age-adjusted international prognostic index > 1
  • Partial response/partial metabolic response after minimum of 2 cycles of platinum-containing salvage chemotherapy
  • C-myc rearrangement

• PET-CT negative (Deauville score ≤ 3) 90 days (± 30 days) post aHSCT
• Available relapsed and/or diagnostic pathology formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor block or slide samples at the time of enrollment including the successful identification of malignant clone sequences by the central laboratory.
• MRD plasma sample collected ≤ 3 weeks after the post aHSCT PET-CT scan
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2.

• Adequate organ function determined ≤ 3 weeks prior to enrollment defined as follows:

  • Hematological:

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.0 x 109/L Platelet count ≥ 75 x 109/L Hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL

• Renal:

Creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min Cockcroft-Gault equation

• Hepatic:

Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) < 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN) Total bilirubin < 2 x ULN (unless Gilbert's Disease or if liver involvement with lymphoma)

• Subject will be available to complete all protocol-required study visits or procedures, and/or to comply with all required study procedures to the best of the subject's and investigator's knowledge including but not limited to:
• Completion of up to a 24-month run-in period

• Completion of all regularly scheduled study visits including blood draws for MRD assessment, clinical disease state assessment, PET-CT scans (ie, at time of MRD positivity or relapse), assignment to treatment with blinatumomab

  • Other Inclusion criteria may apply. See "Inclusion and Exclusion criteria - Part 2".

Exclusion Criteria - Part 1

• Clinically relevant central nervous system (CNS) pathology such as epilepsy, seizure, paresis, aphasia,stroke, severe brain injury, dementia, Parkinson's disease, cerebellar disease, organic brain syndrome, and psychosis
• Evidence of CNS involvement with DLBCL at disease evaluation obtained prior to starting blinatumomab
• Current autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease with potential of CNS involvement
• Prior anti-CD19 directed therapies
• Prior alloHSCT
• Received radiation ≤ 2 weeks prior to enrollment
• Infection with human immunodeficiency virus or chronic infection with hepatitis B virus (hepatitis B surface antigen positive) or hepatitis C virus (anti-hepatitis C virus positive)

• History of malignancy other than DLBCL within the past 3 years with the following exceptions:

  • Malignancy treated with curative intent and with no known active disease present for ≥ 3 years before enrollment and felt to be at low risk for recurrence by the treating physician
  • Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna without evidence of disease
  • Adequately treated cervical carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease
  • Adequately treated breast ductal carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease
  • Prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia without evidence of prostate cancer
  • Adequately treated urothelial papillary noninvasive carcinoma or carcinoma in situ
• Subject has known hypersensitivity to immunoglobulins or any of the products or components to be administered during dosing.
• History or evidence of any other clinically significant disorder, condition or disease (with the exception of those outlined above) that, in the opinion of the investigator or Amgen physician, if consulted, would pose a risk to subject safety or interfere with the study evaluation, procedures or completion.
• Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant or breastfeed while receiving blinatumomab and for an additional 48 hours after the last treatment dose of blinatumomab. (Females of child bearing potential should only be included after a negative highly sensitive urine or serum pregnancy test.)
• Women of childbearing potential unwilling to use an acceptable method of effective contraception while receiving blinatumomab and for an additional 48 hours after last dose of blinatumomab. Note: The pregnancy, breastfeeding and contraceptive requirements are specific to blinatumomab. The investigator is responsible for providing the subject (male and female) with pregnancy and breastfeeding (female only) avoidance requirements for other medications given during the study.

• Currently receiving treatment in another investigational device or drug study or less than 30 days since ending treatment on another investigational device or drug study. Other investigational procedures while participating in this study are excluded.

  • Other Exclusion criteria may apply. See "Inclusion and Exclusion criteria - Part 2".

Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria - Part 2

Inclusion Criteria - Part 2

• MRD-positive assessment (by NGS analysis) at enrollment or at any time during the run-in 1 period
• PET-CT negative (defined by Deauville criteria ≤ 3) at run-in 2 performed ≤ 3 weeks from MRD test result available to the site at run-in 1. Historical PET-CT are allowed if performed ≤ 6 weeks from day 1 (first dose of blinatumomab) and subject has no clinical signs or symptoms suggestive of disease progression (eg, increase in lactate dehydrogenase [LDH] not otherwise explained)

• Adequate organ function determined ≤ 7 days prior to treatment assignment with blinatumomab as follows:

Exclusion Criteria - Part 2

• Subject has active infection requiring systemic therapy
• Any change in the part 1 eligibility criteria during the run-in period.
