20. Patients with known active bacterial, viral, fungal, mycobacterial, parasitic, or other infection (excluding fungal infections of the nail beds) at registration

a. Note: Patients with latent tuberculosis are excluded

21. Other significant life-threatening illness or medical condition which, in the Investigator's opinion, could compromise the patient's safety, interfere with absorption or metabolism of study drug, affect compliance with the protocol or interpretation of results, or put the study outcomes at undue risk

22. Major contraindication to any of the individual components of the chemotherapy backbone (R, C, H, O, Polatuzumab vedotin, prednisolone)
