Phase 1: Percentage of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) Defined as Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) Related to Sequenced Therapy With Lenzilumab and AxicabtagenePrimary· First infusion of lenzilumab and axicabtagene ciloleucel up to 28 days.
A DLT was defined as the following sequenced therapy-related events with onset within the first 28 days following lenzilumab and axicabtagene ciloleucel infusions:
* Grade 4 neutropenia lasting longer than 21 days from the day of cell transfer
* Grade 4 thrombocytopenia lasting longer than 28 days from the day of cell transfer
* Any sequenced therapy-related AE requiring intubation, including Grade 4 encephalopathy requiring intubation for airway protection
* Any sequenced therapy-related Grade 5 event

The primary objectives of this study are:
Phase 1: To evaluate the safety of sequenced therapy with lenzilumab and axicabtagene ciloleucel in participants with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma and identify the most appropriate dose of lenzilumab for Phase 2.
Phase 2: To evaluate the incidence of neurologic events with sequenced therapy given at the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of lenzilumab in participants with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma.
