- Histologically confirmed, untreated follicular lymphoma (FL) grade I, II or marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) Stage III or IV
- Presence of measurable or evaluable disease
- Age >17 years old
Patients must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below, within 14 days of enrollment:
- Serum bilirubin < 2.0 mg/dL
- serum creatinine < 2 mg/dL unless due to lymphoma
- Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) >1000/mm3
- Platelets >100,000/mm3 unless due to lymphoma
- Aspartate Transaminase (AST), Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) and Alkaline phosphatase < 3x the upper limit of normal
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 1, 2, 3
- No prior therapy for the FL or MZL including chemotherapy, single agent rituximab and radiation therapy
- Female subject is either post-menopausal or surgically sterilized or willing to use an acceptable method of birth control (i.e., a hormonal contraceptive, intra-uterine device, diaphragm with spermicide, condom with spermicide, or abstinence) for the duration of the study.
- Male subject agrees to use an acceptable method for contraception for the duration of the study.
Exclusion Criteria

- Patient has hypersensitivity to boron or mannitol.
- Female subject is pregnant or breast-feeding. Confirmation that the subject is not pregnant must be established by a negative serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) pregnancy test result obtained during screening.
