Brief summary

The treatments used to treat lymphoma and multiple myeloma sometimes do not always work well or they may only work for a short period of time. This is why new treatments are being tested. This study will test a new combination of two drugs that are already approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treatment of certain kinds of blood cancers. These drugs are romidepsin and lenalidomide. Both these drugs by themselves have been used to treat lymphoma or multiple myeloma. However, while these drugs are routinely used alone, this is the first time they will be tested together. The mechanism of action of both drugs is not well understood but both have been shown to to be effective by themselves in lymphoma and multiple myeloma.

Interventions

DRUGRomidepsin

Romidepsin will be administered intravenously on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle.

DRUGLenalidomide

Lenalidomide will be taken orally daily for 21 days of a 28-day cycle.

Inclusion criteria

Serum M-protein ≥0.5gm/dL (≥5gm/L) ii. Urine M-protein ≥200mg/24hr iii.

If there is progression of disease on that therapy and all adverse effects have resolved to Grade 1 or baseline, in which case 2 weeks is acceptable. * Previous radiation, hormonal therapy, and surgery must have been discontinued or completed at least 2 weeks prior to treatment in this study and adverse effects must have resolved. Lymph node or other diagnostic biopsy within 2 weeks is not considered exclusionary. * Short course systemic corticosteroids for disease control, improvement of performance status or non-cancer indication (\< 7 days) must have been discontinued at least 7 days prior to study treatment.
