Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Patients with B-cell Lymphoma, relapsing after high dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation or allogeneneic stem cell or bone marrow transplant Age > 18 years old Adequate hematologic function, as manifested by ANC > 1000/mm3 and platelet count > 40,000/mm3 PS WHO: < 3 Exclusion Criteria: Patients with serum creatinine > 2 mg%, transaminases (ALT, AST) > 3 times upper normal value, direct bilirubin > 2 mg%, unless they result from tumor involvement Pregnant or lactating females History of myelodysplastic syndrome Uncontrolled CNS disease Active serious infection History of refractoriness to vinorelbine. However, prior treatment with rituxan is not an exclusion (synergy may still occur)

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Vinorelbine and Rituxan
Week 1-4: Rituxan is given at 375 mg/m2 weekly x4. Vinorelbine (25mg/m2) given 1 week after the first rituxan dose and immediately after the second rituxan dose. Week 5-8: Rituxan given every 2 weeks. Vinorelbine given weekly x3, with one week off. Week 9-12: Schedule same as week 5-8. Week 13 and following: If subject doesn't have disease progression, they may continue on Vinorelbine until progression or until clinically indicated.
