Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Patient age is = 18 years 2. Patient has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of = 2 3. Patient has a history of DLBCL according to the WHO classification 4. Patient has progressive disease after receiving at least CHOP-R or CHOP-R like first line regimen, standard second line therapy (DHAP, ESHAP, ICE or similar salvage regimens) inclusive ASCT 5. Patient has progressive disease after receiving at least CHOP-R or CHOP-R like first line regimen and is not considered eligible for intensive salvage therapy including ASCT because of age, co-morbidities, impossibility to perform ASCT 6. Patient undergoes at baseline new lymphnode or other pathologic tissue biopsy for confirmation of diagnosis and biologic studies; bone marrow biopsy is not adequate for this purpose and should be performed only for staging. Patients with primary refractoriness, not eligible for intensive salvage therapy including ASCT, who performed a previous biopsy with stored frozen material 6 months or less before enrolment into the study do not have to repeat a new biopsy 7. Patient has at least one site of measurable nodal disease at baseline = 2.0 cm in the longest transverse diameter as determined by CT scan (MRI is allowed only if CT scan can not be performed). Note: Patients with bone marrow involvement are eligible, but this criteria alone should not be used for disease measurement 8. Patient has the following laboratory values (labs may be repeated, if needed, to obtain acceptable values before screen fail): • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) = 1.5 x 109/L [SI units 1.5 x 109/L] • Platelet count = 100 x 109/L • Serum potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, total calcium (corrected for serum albumin) or ionized calcium within normal limits (WNL) for the institution • Serum creatinine = 1.5 x ULN • Serum bilirubin = 1.5 x ULN (or = 3.0 x ULN, if patient has Gilbert syndrome) • AST/SGOT and/or ALT/SGPT = 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or = 5.0 x ULN if the transaminase elevation is due to disease involvement 9. Clinically euthyroid. Note: Patients are permitted to receive thyroid hormone supplements to treat underlying hypothyroidism 10. Written informed consent was obtained from the patient prior to any study-specific screening procedures 11. Patient has the ability to swallow capsules or tablets 12. Practice acceptable birth control Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range
