A Phase 1b, Dose Escalation Study to Determine the Recommended Phase 2 Dose of TAK-659 in Combination With Bendamustine (±Rituximab), Gemcitabine, Lenalidomide, or Ibrutinib for the Treatment of Patients With Advanced Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma After At Least 1 Prior Line of Therapy

The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended
Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of TAK-659 when administered in combination with bendamustine,
bendamustine + rituximab, gemcitabine, lenalidomide, or ibrutinib.

The drug being tested in this study is called TAK-659. TAK-659 is being tested to treat
people who have advanced non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This study will determine the MTD or RP2D for
TAK-659 in combination with bendamustine, bendamustine + rituximab, gemcitabine,
lenalidomide, and ibrutinib. The study will enroll approximately 96 participants.

Participants will be assigned to one of the 5 combination cohorts:

- Dose Escalation Phase Cohort A: TAK-659 + Bendamustine

- Dose Escalation Phase Cohort B: TAK-659 + Bendamustine + Rituximab

- Dose Escalation Phase Cohort C: TAK-659 + Gemcitabine

- Dose Escalation Phase Cohort D: TAK-659 + Lenalidomide

- Dose Escalation Phase Cohort E: TAK-659 + Ibrutinib This study comprises 2 phases: a
dose escalation phase and a safety expansion phase. Participants in all 5 cohorts
(Cohorts A-E) will participate in the dose escalation phase of the study. Approximately
12 additional participants with advanced FL or MZL will be added to Cohort B, in the
safety expansion phase.

This multi-center trial will be conducted in North America and Europe. The overall time to
participate in this study is approximately 30 months. Participants will make multiple visits
to the clinic and will be followed up for safety for 28 days after the last dose of study
drug.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Male or female participants aged 18 years or older.

2. In the dose escalation phase, histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of
advanced non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) of any histology (with the exception of
participants with Waldenström macroglobulinemia [WM] and chronic lymphocytic leukemia
[CLL]). In the safety expansion phase for Cohort B, only participants with advanced FL
or MZL will be included.

3. Radiographically or clinically measurable disease with at least 1 target lesion per
International Working Group (IWG) criteria for malignant lymphoma.

4. In the dose escalation phase, participants who are refractory or relapsed after at
least 1 prior line of therapy due to progression, intolerance, or physician/patient
decision and for whom no effective standard therapy is available per the
investigator's assessment. In the safety expansion phase for Cohort B in participants
with FL or MZL, the prior line of therapy is limited to <=1.

- Either treatment naive to, relapsed/refractory to, or experienced treatment
failure due to other reasons with ibrutinib, idelalisib, or any other
investigational B-cell receptor (BCR) pathway inhibitors not directly targeting
spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK).

- Pre induction salvage chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT)
should be considered 1 therapy.

- Any consolidation/maintenance therapy after a chemotherapy regimen (without
intervening relapse) should be considered 1 line of therapy with the preceding
combination therapy. Maintenance antibody therapy should not be considered a line
of therapy.

- For aggressive NHL (ie, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma [DLBCL]), single-agent
anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody therapy should not be considered a line of therapy.
Antibody therapy in patients with indolent NHL (ie, FL) given as a single agent
after disease progression from a prior treatment should be considered a line of
therapy.

- For participants with DLBCL transformed from indolent lymphoma, any treatment
received for the indolent disease before the transformation to DLBCL will, in
general, not count toward the 2 to 3 prior lines of therapy required for DLBCL in
this study.

- Prior treatment with a regimen that includes the combination drug will not
necessarily exclude a participant from that cohort if the investigator views
treatment with that agent as appropriate. However, a participant who has a
contraindication for a particular combination agent or who has been discontinued
from prior therapy with a particular agent for toxicity will not be eligible for
inclusion in that particular cohort.

(>=50,000/mcL for participants with bone marrow involvement), and hemoglobin >=8
gram per deciliter (g/dL) (red blood cell [RBC] and platelet transfusion allowed
>=14 days before assessment).

- Hepatic: total bilirubin less than or equal to (<=) 1.5*the upper limit of the
normal range (ULN); alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase
(AST) <=2.5*ULN.

- Renal: serum creatinine >=60 milliliter per minute (mL/min) as estimated by the
Cockcroft-Gault equation.

- others

- Lipase <=1.5×ULN and amylase <=1.5×ULN with no clinical symptoms suggestive
of pancreatitis or cholecystitis.

- Blood pressure <=Grade 1 (hypertensive participants are permitted if their
blood pressure is controlled to <= Grade 1 by hypertensive medications and
glycosylated hemoglobin is <=6.5%).

- Fasting serum glucose level shall be controlled to 130 milligrams per
deciliter (mg/dL) during the screening period.

7. Female participants who:

- Are postmenopausal for at least 1 year before the screening visit, or

- Are surgically sterile, or

method of contraception and 1 additional effective (barrier) method at the same
time, from the time of signing the informed consent through 180 days after the
last dose of study drug, or

- Agree to practice true abstinence, when this is in line with the preferred and
usual lifestyle of the participant. (Periodic abstinence [example, calendar,
ovulation, symptothermal, postovulation methods] withdrawal, spermicides only,
and lactational amenorrhea are not acceptable methods of contraception. Female
and male condoms should not be used together.)

usual lifestyle of the participant. (Periodic abstinence [example, calendar,
ovulation, symptothermal, postovulation methods], withdrawal, spermicides only,
and lactational amenorrhea are not acceptable methods of contraception. Female
and male condoms should not be used together.)
