Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: • Lymphoma histology other than MALT lymphoma or MALT lymphoma tranforming to diffuse large cell lymphoma (“high grade lymphoma”) • Use of any investigational agent in the month prior to inclusion • History of malignancy other than squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix within the last 5 years • Major surgery, other than diagnostic surgery, within the last 4 weeks • Evidence of CNS involvement • A history of uncontrolled seizures, central nervous system disorders or psychiatric disability judged by the investigator to be clinically significant and adversely affecting compliance to study drugs • Clinically significant cardiac disease (e.g. congestive heart failure, symptomatic coronary artery disease and cardiac arrhythmias not well controlled with medication) or myocardial infarction within the last 6 months • Inadequate hematological status at baseline prior to study entry: Dependency on red blood cell and/or platelet transfusions, ANC (absolute neutrophil count (segmented + bands)) <1.0 x 109/L • Patients with active opportunistic infections • Pregnancy

| Main Objective: Primary objective To evaluate the capacity of bortezomib (Velcade®) to induce objective responses in patients with disseminated MALT lymphoma or at relapse after surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. In addition, also patients with disease refractory to HP-eradication after a minimum follow-up of 12 months will be enrolled.;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives •To evaluate the safety of bortezomib in this patient population •to evaluate the impact of bortezomib on progression free survival ;Primary end point(s): • Clinical response measured according to standard criteria • Progression free survival • clinical adverse events • laboratory parameters | — |
