New drug combo shows early promise for recurrent lymphoma

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Patients are not considered to have a "currently active" secondary malignancy if they have completed anticancer therapy and are deemed to have \< 30% risk of relapse by their physician. * Patients must not have had deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism within the past 3 months. * Patients must not have had radioimmunotherapy within 12 months of study entry. * Patients must not have other concurrent investigational or commercial agents or therapies for lymphoma. * Patients must not have current dialysis treatment. * Patients must be non-pregnant and non-nursing. * Females of Child Bearing Potential (FCBP) is a sexually mature woman who: 1) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy or 2) has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months (eg, has had menses at any time preceding 24 consecutive months) * FCBP must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test with a sensitivity of at least 50 mIU/mL within 10-14 days prior to registration * FCBP must either commit to continued abstinence from heterosexual intercourse or begin TWO acceptable methods of birth control * One highly effective method and one additional effective method AT THE SAME TIME, at least 28 days before starting lenalidomide * FCBP must also agree to ongoing pregnancy testing * Men must agree to use a latex condom during sexual contact with a female of childbearing potential, even if they have had a successful vasectomy * CYP3A4 Strong Inducers and Inhibitors * Patients must not be on strong CYP3A4 inhibitors and/or inducers. * Strong inhibitors are prohibited: indinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir, clarithromycin, itraconazole, ketoconazole, nefazodone * Strong inducers are prohibited: carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, pioglitazone, rifabutin, rifampin, St. John's Wort, troglitazone * Required Initial Laboratory Values * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,000 mm³ * Total Bilirubin ≤ 2 times upper limit of normal (ULN) (unless due to Gilbert disease or lymphoma) * Creatinine ≤ 1.5 times ULN (unless due to lymphoma) OR creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≤ 60 mL/minute * Platelet count ≥ 75,000 mm³ * Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase \[SGPT\]) ≤ 2 x ULN
