Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients who have previously received treatment with pirtobrutinib for >2 months prior to study enrollment are ineligible. Patients who are relapsed or refractory and then received less than 2 months of pirtobrutinib as "holding therapy" while awaiting CAR T-cell therapy evaluation, and who did not demonstrate disease progression while on pirtobrutinib holding therapy, are eligible.
• Patients who have previously discontinued pirtobrutinib due to disease progression, intolerance, or toxicity.
• Patients who are currently receiving or who have received any investigational study agent ≤4 weeks prior to screening visit are ineligible.
• Prior treatment with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy.
• Participants with clinically significant or uncontrolled cardiac disease, including unstable angina or acute coronary syndrome within the past 2 months prior to randomization, history of myocardial infarction within 3 months prior to randomization, documented LVEF by any method of ≤ 40% in the 12 months prior to randomization, or ≥ Grade 3 NYHA functional classification system of heart failure.
• Uncontrolled or symptomatic arrhythmias, including prolongation of the QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTcF) > 470 msec. QTcF is calculated using Fridericia's Formula (QTcF): QTcF = QT/(RR0.33). Correction of suspected drug induced QTcF prolongation can be attempted at the investigator's discretion and only if clinically safe to do so with either discontinuation of the offending drug or switch to another drug not known to be associated with QTcF prolongation. Correction for underlying bundle branch block (BBB) allowed. Note: Patients with pacemakers are eligible if they have no history of fainting or clinically relevant arrhythmias while using the pacemaker
• Evidence of active uncontrolled/untreated infection (viral, bacterial, fungal, opportunistic) of any origin.
• Participants with active immunologic or inflammatory/autoimmune disease affecting the CNS, and unrelated to their disease under study or previous treatment.
• Patients with active CNS involvement of Mantle Cell Lymphoma. A history of CNS Mantle Cell Lymphoma is allowed, as long as it has cleared, and the patient is able to comply with study procedures. Patients with previous treatment for CNS involvement who are neurologically stable and without evidence of disease may be eligible with documented Sponsor approval.
• Known positive Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status. For patients with unknown HIV status, HIV testing will be performed at Screening and result must be negative for enrollment.
• Hepatitis B virus (HBV): Patients with positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) are excluded. Patients with positive hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) and negative HBsAg require a negative hepatitis B polymerase chain reaction (PCR) evaluation before randomization. Patients who are HBV DNA PCR positive will be excluded. Patients who are HBV DNA PCR negative with positive anti-HBc require prophylaxis against Hepatitis B reactivation (see Section 6.4 "General Guidance for Hepatic Monitoring").
• Hepatitis C virus (HCV): positive hepatitis C antibody. If positive hepatitis C antibody result, patient will need to have a negative result for hepatitis C ribonucleic acid (RNA) before randomization. Patients who are hepatitis C RNA positive will be excluded.
• Known active cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. Unknown or negative status are eligible.
• Participants who require the concurrent use of chronic systemic steroids or immunosuppressant medications. Steroids should not be given within 5 days prior to leukapheresis. Concomitant bridging steroids (section 6.6) are allowed after leukapheresis.
• Known hypersensitivity or severe reaction to pirtobrutinib, similar compounds, or excipients.
• Participants who have not recovered from adverse events (AEs) due to prior anticancer therapy (i.e., have residual toxicities > Grade 1), with the exception of stable Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy and/or any grade alopecia.
• Pregnant or nursing (breast-feeding) women are excluded from this study because there is an unknown but potential risk to using pirtobrutinib in pregnant or nursing women. Patients are excluded if they are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during the study or within 1 year of the last dose of study treatment. Patients are also excluded if they are lactating or plan to breastfeed during the study or within 1 week of the last dose of study treatment. Please see Section 4.3 and Section 4.4 for General Guidance for Women of Child Bearing Potential and/or Use of Contraceptive Methods.
• Any condition that would, in the investigator's judgement, interfere with full participation in the study, including administration of pirtobrutinib and attending required study visits (if outpatient); pose a significant risk to the participant; or interfere with interpretation of study data.

• Patients who experienced a major bleeding event or grade ≥ 3 arrhythmia on prior treatment with a BTK inhibitor. NOTE: Major bleeding is defined as bleeding having one or more of the following features: potentially life-threatening bleeding with signs or symptoms of hemodynamic compromise; bleeding associated with a decrease in the hemoglobin level of at least 2g per deciliter; or bleeding in a critical area or organ (e.g., retroperitoneal, intraarticular, pericardial, epidural, or intracranial bleeding or intramuscular bleeding with compartment syndrome)
• Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to enrollment.
