• Patients must exhibit an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2
• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1000/mcL (the use of growth factor support to attain goal ANC allowed, but not the last 14 days prior to screening laboratory test)
• Platelets (PLT) ≥ 50,000/mcL (transfusions allowed ≥ 7 days prior)
• Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 Institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) unless attributed to Gilbert’s ≤ 3 Institutional ULN if attributed to disease or Gilbert’s

• Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula (MDRD) for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR): ≥ 45 mL/min
• Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial
• The effects of lenalidomide on the developing human fetus are known. For this reason and because lenalidomide as well as other therapeutic agents used in this trial are known to be teratogenic, females of child-bearing potential (FOCBP) must agree to use adequate contraception. Female patients of reproductive potential must either completely abstain from heterosexual sexual contact or must use 2 effective methods of contraception (at least 1 highly effective method and one effective method) at the same time * The 2 effective contraceptive methods must be started at least 30 days before lenalidomide therapy, during therapy (including dose interruptions), and for at least 12 months following discontinuation of therapy * Should a female patient become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately * Females should also refrain from egg donation from the time of informed consent, during the study and for 12 months after the last dose of study drug * NOTE: A FOCBP is any woman (regardless of sexual orientation, having undergone a tubal ligation, or remaining celibate by choice) who meets the following criteria: ** Has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy ** Has had menses at any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months (and therefore has not been naturally postmenopausal for > 12 months) * If male, and patient is sexually active with female partner(s) of childbearing potential, he must agree, from 30 days prior to randomization through 12 months after the last dose of study drug, to practice the protocol-specified contraception * Male who is not considering fathering a child or donating sperm during the study or for 12 months after the last dose of study drug * FOCBP must have a negative pregnancy test prior to registration on study
• Patients must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
• Patients must have no known active severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. * (If a patient has signs/symptoms suggestive of SARS-CoV-2 infection or have had recent known exposure to someone with SARS-CoV-2 infection, the patient must have a negative molecular (e.g., polymerase chain reaction [PCR]) test, or 2 negative antigen test results at least 24 hours apart, to rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection) ** Note: SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic tests should be applied following local requirements/recommendations. * (Patients who do not meet SARS-CoV-2 infection eligibility criteria must be screen failed and may only rescreen after they meet the following SARS-CoV-2 infection viral clearance criteria: ** No signs/symptoms suggestive of active SARS-CoV-2 infection ** Negative molecular (e.g., PCR) result or 2 negative antigen test results at least 24 hours apart)

Exclusion Criteria

• Patients who have received any prior therapy with a bispecific T-cell engager targeting CD3 and CD20
• Patients who have received chemotherapy and/or other antineoplastic agents (except CD20- targeting monoclonal antibodies, steroids and/or radiation) within 1 week or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to registration

• Patients who have a seizure disorder that is not controlled (requiring anti-epileptic therapy AND with seizure within 12 months of registration)
• Patients who have had major surgery within 4 weeks prior to registration
• Patients who have clinically significant cardiac disease include the following: * Myocardial infarction or stroke within 6 months prior to enrollment, * OR the following conditions within 6 months prior to enrollment: unstable or uncontrolled disease/condition related to or affecting cardiac function (e.g., unstable angina, congestive heart failure, New York Heart Association Class III-IV), uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, and uncontrolled hypertension), * OR Other clinically significant electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities within 6 months prior to enrollment unless deemed stable and appropriately treated * OR Left ventricular ejection fraction < 45% for Echocardiogram
