| Main Objective: - To evaluate the antitumor activity of oral lenalidomide 20mg/day (dd1-21q28) when given in combination with rituximab in patients with indolent non follicular NHL Relapsed after >2, but less than 4 prior lines of (immuno)chemotherapy.- Efficacy will be evaluated in term of ORR (CR+PR) and tumour control rate (CR+PR+SD) measured at 26 weeks, four weeks after the last (VI) Rituximab infusion. - To asses to the safety of R-lenalidomide evaluated by standard criteria (CTC-NCI 3.0).;Secondary Objective: - To compare the efficacy of lenalidomide in combination with rituximab in term of duration remission with those obtained after previous line of treatment, when rituximab was utilized.- To evaluate progression free survival (PFS), event free survival (EFS), duration of remission (DR).- To correlate clinical and biological markers of antilymphoma activity of lenalidomide/rituximab combination with specific transcriptional profiles of responder or non responder patients, by means of oligonucleotide microarray DNA analysis;Primary end point(s): - To evaluate the antitumor activity of oral lenalidomide 20mg/day (dd1-21q28) when given in combination with rituximab in patients with indolent non follicular NHL Relapsed after >2, but less than 4 prior lines of (immuno)chemotherapy.- Efficacy will be evaluated in term of ORR (CR+PR) and tumour control rate (CR+PR+SD) measured at 26 weeks, four weeks after the last (VI) Rituximab infusion. - To asses to the safety of R-lenalidomide evaluated by standard criteria (CTC-NCI 3.0). | — |
