- Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma
- Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma
- Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma
NOTE: *Biopsies performed < 6 months prior to study entry are allowed; biopsy-proven CNS lymphoma (at any time) does not require a re-biopsy in order to be eligible for this study
Previously treated disease
- Patients with aggressive lymphoma (closed to accrual as of 8/24/07) OR Hodgkin's lymphoma must have received or be ineligible for potentially curative therapy, including stem cell transplantation
Measurable disease** by CT scan or MRI, defined by 1 of the following:
At least 1 unidimensionally measurable lesion > 2 cm in diameter
- Skin lesions may be used if they meet this criterion and are photographed with a ruler
- More than 5,000/mm³ tumor cells in the blood
NOTE: **For patients with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma without measurable lymphadenopathy, measurable disease may be defined by bone marrow lymphoplasmacytosis with > 10% lymphoplasmacytic cells or aggregates, sheets, lymphocytes, plasma cells, or lymphoplasmacytic cells on bone marrow biopsy AND quantitative Immunoglobulin M(IgM) monoclonal protein > 1,000 mg/dL
PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group(ECOG) performance status 0-2
- Life expectancy > 3 months
- Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,000/mm³
- Platelet count ≥ 75,000/mm³
- Hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL
- Total bilirubin ≤ 2 times upper limit of normal (ULN) OR direct bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times ULN
- aspartate aminotransferase(AST) ≤ 3 times ULN (5 times ULN if liver involvement is present)
- Creatinine ≤ 2 times ULN
- Not pregnant or nursing
- Negative pregnancy test
- Fertile patients must use effective contraception
- Willing to provide blood samples and portion of bone marrow aspirate and biopsy during study participation
- Able to swallow intact study medication tablets
- No other life-threatening illness (unrelated to tumor)
- No serious non-malignant disease (e.g., active infection or other condition) that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude study participation
- No other active malignancy requiring treatment or that would preclude study participation
- No known HIV positivity
PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
- See Disease Characteristics
- At least 3 weeks since prior myelosuppressive chemotherapy or biologic therapy (unless the patient has recovered from the nadir of the previous treatment)
- More than 3 weeks since prior radiotherapy (unless the acute side effects associated with therapy are resolved)
Concurrent stable (i.e., not increased within the past month) chronic doses of corticosteroids, with a maximum dose of 20 mg of prednisone per day, is allowed if prescribed for disorders other than lymphoma (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, polymyalgia rheumatica, adrenal insufficiency, or asthma)
- Non-escalating doses of steroids at the lowest possible dosing level are allowed for CNS lymphoma
- No other concurrent investigational ancillary therapy
- No other concurrent chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy
- No concurrent participation in any other clinical trial involving a pharmacologic agent (e.g., drugs, biologics, immunotherapy, or gene therapy) for symptom control or therapeutic intent
