Percentage of Participants With Administration-Associated Reactions (AARs)
AARs defined as all related adverse events (AEs) occurring within 24 hours of rituximab SC administration, including infusion/injection-related reactions (IIRRs), injection-site reactions, administration site conditions and all symptoms thereof.
Time frame: Within 24 hours of each rituximab SC administration (maximum treatment duration up to 32 months for FL participants and up to 8 months for DLBCL participants)
Event-Free Survival (EFS) as Assessed by Investigator According to International Working Group (IWG) Response Criteria
EFS is defined as the time from first dose of rituximab (analysed using both first dose of IV and first dose of SC) to first occurrence of progression or relapse, according to the IWG response criteria or other country standards, or initiation of a non-protocolspecified anti-lymphoma therapy or death, whichever occurs first.
Time frame: From first dose of rituximab intravenous (IV) and SC until first occurrence of progression or relapse (up to end of induction treatment [Up to 53.8 Months])
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) as Assessed by Investigator According to IWG Response Criteria
PFS is defined as the time from first dose of rituximab (analysed using both first dose of IV and first dose of SC) to the first occurrence of progression or relapse, according to the IWG response criteria (Cheson et al. 1999) or other country standards, or death from any cause.
Time frame: From first dose of rituximab IV and SC until first occurrence of progression or relapse (up to end of induction treatment [Up to 53.8 Months])
Overall Survival (OS)
OS is defined as the time from first dose of rirtuximab (analysed using both first dose of IV and first dose of SC) until death from any cause.
Time frame: From first dose of rituximab IV and SC until death from any cause (up to end of induction treatment [Up to 51.1 Months])

Disease-Free Survival (DFS) as Assessed by Investigator According to IWG Response Criteria
DFS will be assessed at the end of induction treatment in patients achieving CR/CRu and is defined as the period from the date of the initial CR/CRu until the date of relapse or death from any cause.
Time frame: From the date of the initial complete response (CR)/complete response unconfirmed (CRu) until date of relapse or death from any cause (up to end of induction treatment [Up to 32.7 Months])
Percentage of Participants With CR/CRu as Assessed by Investigator According to IWG Response Criteria
CR/CRu: Response assessments 4 - 6 weeks after the last dose of induction treatment will be based on the Investigator's assessment, completed according to the original International Working Group (IWG) response criteria for response assessment of lymphoma (Cheson et al. 1999).
Time frame: From first dose of rituximab until first occurrence of progression or relapse (up to end of induction treatment [Up to 32 Months])
Healthcare Professional Questionnaire Score
Planned Healthcare Professional Questionnaiere was not collected during the study therefore no data to report
Time frame: End of treatment (Month 24 for FL participants and Month 8 for DLBCL participants)
Patient-Reported Rituximab Administration Questionnaire (RASQ) Score
The RASQ measures the overall participant satisfaction and is a 20-item questionnaire measuring the impact of the treatment administration on 5 domains: Physical Impact, Psychological Impact, Impact on Activities of Daily Living, Convenience, and Satisfaction. Each question's answer is chosen from 1 (minimum)-5(maximum score indicating less severity) score range. For each domain was scored using the following formula: Domain score = \[(Sum of completed item (question) responses / Number of completed items) - 1\] x 100 / (Maximum possible item response value - Minimum possible item response value) The final RASQ domains is calculated using the formula: RASQ domain score = (Mean of completed item responses - 1) x 25, scores ranging from 1-100 with higher scores indicative of more positive feelings toward therapy. Lower number representing lower satisfaction and higher is the higher satisfaction by the participants.
Time frame: Up to 53.8 Months
