CT measurable disease with at least 1 lesion having short axis = 1.5cm or splenomegaly = 13cm in cranio-caudal length attributable to relapsed lymphoma 10. Patients must have negative virology for HIV and hepatitis C prior to trial entry. Patients with an isolated anti-hepatitis B sAg antibody may be entered as this indicates previous vaccination. These patients MUST have HBV DNA tested. Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: 0 F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 3 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 33

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Prior chemotherapy, biological therapy, radiation therapy, androgens, thalidomide, immunotherapy, other anticancer agents, and any investigational agents within 14days of registration (not including palliative radiotherapy at focal sites). Corticosteroids are permitted during screening but should be weaned down to a max dose of prednisolone 10mg daily (or equivalent) by cycle 1 day1. - With the exception of alopecia, any unresolved toxicities from prior chemotherapy should be no greater than CTCAE(Version 4.0) Grade 2 at the time of registration. 2. Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to entry to the study (excluding placement of vascular access), or minor surgery within 2 weeks of entry into the study 3. Exposure to potent or moderate inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4/5 if taken within the stated washout periods before the first dose of study treatment 4.

Inadequate bone marrow reserve or organ function as demonstrated by any of the following laboratory values unless due to underlying NHL infiltration -

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess the safety and activity of AZD2014 as a single agent in the treatment of Diffuse large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) by measuring the best overall response to the treatment within 6 cycles. ;Secondary Objective: Assing the long term activity of the treatment by looking at the best overall response rate post 6 cycles until the end of the trial. Assing the safety and tolerability of the trial treatment Assing the overall survival at 1 year Assing the Progression free survival at 1 year Assing the Duration of response Measuring the maximum % change in the radiological sum of the product of the diameters (SPD) of the patients disease from baseline to the end of the trial by CT of the Neck Cheast Abdomen Pelvis ;Primary end point(s): • Best overall response rate during the first 6 cycles of AZD2014 will be assessed using contrast-enhanced CT scans of the neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis, using the Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: within the first 24 weeks (6 cycles of treatment)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Best overall response rate post 6 cycles until the end of the trial, assessed using Revised Response Criteria • Tolerability rate (based on toxicity assessments using CTCAE v 4.0 criteria) • Overall survival at 1 year • Progression free survival at 1 year • Duration of response • Maximum % decrease in the radiological sum of the product of the diameters (SPD) from baseline by CT NCAP ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Tolerablity rate is assess during the first 6 cycles of treatment. Best overall response, and maximum % change in SPD will be assesed over the duration of treatment. Duration of response will be assesed over the course of the trial with at least 1 years follow-up. Progression free and overall survival will be assesd at 1 year from the start of treatment.
