• * Treatment with any chemotherapeutic agent, or treatment with any other anti-cancer agent (investigational or otherwise) within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives of the drug, whichever was shorter, prior to first pirtobrutinib administration
• * Treatment with radiotherapy within 2 weeks prior to the first pirtobrutinib administration. If patients received radiotherapy within 4 weeks prior to the first pirtobrutinib administration, patients must have had at least one measurable lesion outside of the radiation field. Patients who had only one measurable lesion that was previously irradiated but subsequently progressed are eligible
• * History of allogeneic or autologous stem cell transplant (SCT) or chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cell (CAR-T) therapy within 60 days of enrollment or presence of any of the following, regardless of prior SCT and/or CAR-T therapy timing:
