Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Experimental
Active Comparator
Arm I (lenalidomide, rituximab)
Arm II (lenalidomide)
Patients who have relapsed/progressed within 180 days post-transplant (Cohort 1), beyond day 180 post-transplant (Cohort 2), or within 6 months but were not started within 3 months of relapse, receive lenalidomide PO QD on days 1-28 (patients with CLL/SLL/PLL) or days 1-21 (patients with NHL). Patients in Cohorts 1 and 2 also receive rituximab IV on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of course 1 and then every two months for courses 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11.
Patients who have relapsed/progressed at any time point post-transplant and who have contraindications, prior severe hypersensitivity reaction to rituximab infusion, to receive rituximab or have CD20 negative disease (Cohort 3) receive lenalidomide as in Arm I.
