E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of abexinostat in patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma based on the objective response rate (ORR). |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Patients meeting any of the following criteria will be excluded from the study: 1.

In patients with clinical suspicion of transformed disease, a fresh biopsy is recommended. 2. Has a history of central nervous system lymphoma (either primary or secondary). 3.

Patients cannot be positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or anti hepatitis B core antibody.
