- DLBCL arising from follicular lymphoma
- Disease status:
- Chemotherapy refractory disease after ≥2 lines of chemotherapy, or
- Relapsed with no remission after ≥1 lines of salvage chemotherapy, or

- Renal function defined as:
- eGFR ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m\^2
- Liver function defined as:
- ALT and AST ≤ 5 times the ULN for age (unless due to disease)
- Bilirubin ≤ 2.0 mg/dl with the exception of patients with Gilbert syndrome; may be included if their total bilirubin is ≤ 3.0 x ULN and direct bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN
- Hemodynamically stable and LVEF ≥ 40% confirmed by echocardiogram or MUGA
- Women of childbearing potential and men with partners of child-bearing potential must agree to use of contraception for the duration of treatment as outlined in axi-cel protocol.
- Able to provide written voluntary consent (or LAR consent for adults with diminished capacity) prior to the performance of any research related tests or procedures

Exclusion
- Allergies, or intolerance to simvastatin or dexamethasone

- Uncontrolled active hepatitis B or hepatitis C
- Active HIV infection
- Uncontrolled acute life threatening bacterial, viral or fungal infection
- Unstable angina and/or myocardial infarction
- Risk factors that preclude a safe lumbar puncture (high intracranial pressure, bleeding diathesis that cannot be reversed or corrected, need for uninterrupted anticoagulation, platelets \< 50K that cannot be corrected with transfusional support
