Male subjects must use an effective barrier method of contraception throughout the study and for three months following the last dose if sexually active with a female of child-bearing potential. Exclusion Criteria: Female subjects who are pregnant or lactating Subjects who are transfusion dependent Subjects with NHL or HL who have received steroid therapy in the previous seven days Subjects with MM or Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia who have received steroid therapy in the previous three weeks, except for MM subjects in the Carfilzomib + DEX Expansion Cohort, where previous treatment with dexamethasone will be allowed. The dose and schedule of administration of dexamethasone will be adjusted to that used in the protocol Radiation, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy in the previous four weeks, or subjects who, in the judgment of the Investigator, have not recovered from the effects of previous therapy For the Dose Escalation period, subjects who have received prior radioimmunotherapy with anti-cluster of differentiation (CD)20 monoclonal antibodies such as Bexxar® or Zevalin®; subjects treated with these products will be allowed in the Dose Expansion period Subjects who have received allogeneic stem cell transplant therapy Subjects with NHL or HL who have received autologous stem cell transplant therapy and have relapsed within 100 days of therapy Rituxan therapy within three months before Day 1 unless there is evidence of disease progression Major surgery within three weeks before Day 1 Congestive heart failure (CHF) (New York Heart Association class III to IV) Acute active infection requiring systemic antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals within two weeks prior to first dose Subjects who are known or suspected of having human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or who are HIV seropositive Active hepatitis A, B, or C infection; or positive for Hepatitis C ribonucleic acid (RNA) or hepatitis B antigen Non-hematologic malignancy within the past three years except a) adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, b) carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or c) prostate cancer with stable prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels for three years Subjects with treatment-related myelodysplastic disorder Subjects with known brain metastasis (active central nervous system [CNS] disease only) Serious psychiatric or medical conditions that could interfere with treatment Participation in an investigational therapeutic study within one month prior to Day 1 Significant neurotoxicity (Grade 2 or higher with pain) at the time of study initiation Concurrent therapy with approved or investigative anticancer therapeutics Subjects with previous hypersensitivity to bortezomib injection Subjects with contraindications to receiving allopurinol Subjects in whom the required program of oral and intravenous fluid hydration is contraindicated, e.g., due to pre-existing pulmonary, cardiac, or renal impairment Subjects with known or suspected amyloidosis Subjects with pleural effusions requiring thoracentesis or ascites requiring paracentesis
