Patient must receive at least one prior therapy with a rituximab containing regimen if it is indicated as the standard of care 2. If patient received autologous stem cell transplantation, patient must have received at least 1 prior systemic therapy 3. If patient did not receive autologous stem cell transplantation, patient must have received at least 2 prior systemic therapies
3) Patients who received autologous stem cell transplantation: 1. Must be at least 12 weeks post-transplant prior to study drug, AND 2. Must have recovered fully from the side effects of such treatment prior to beginning study treatment.
4) Patients who have NOT received autologous stem cell transplantation: 1. Must be ineligible for the autologous stem cell transplantation, OR 2. If eligible, patients chose not to receive stem cell transplant
5) Patients must have discontinued any previous anticancer and investigational therapy including radiation therapy for at least 21 days prior to study drug, and must have recovered fully from the side effects of such treatment prior to beginning study drug.
6) Patients must have discontinued previous monoclonal antibody (except rituximab) or radioimmunotherapy administration for at least 60 days prior to study drug, and are confirmed either have no response to that therapy or have disease progression after the treatment. Patients must have recovered fully from the side effects of that treatment prior to beginning study treatment.
7) For patients who received rituximab containing regimen, rituximab should be discontinued for at least 28 days prior to study drug, are confirmed to either have no response or have disease progression after rituximab treatment, and must have recovered fully from the side effects of such treatment prior to beginning study drug.
8) Patients must not have undergone major surgery within 30 days prior to study drug, and must have recovered fully from the side effects of any major or minor surgical procedures prior to study treatment.

10) Patients must have WHO Performance Status grade 0, 1, or 2
11) Patients must meet the following laboratory criteria (must be obtained within 14 days of enrollment): 1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >/= 1,000/uL 2.

12) Patients must have at least one site of measurable disease, in addition to any site(s) biopsied (either fine needle biopsy or core biopsy), defined as follows: 1. Clearly measurable (i.e., well-defined boundaries) in at least two perpendicular dimensions on imaging scan 2. Lymph node or nodal mass bi-dimensional measurement with > 1.5 cm in longest transverse diameter
13) Patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma must have a positive [^18 F]-FDG-PET scan as defined in the Cheson response criteria at baseline
14) Patients must have life expectancy > 3 months
15) Patients must sign the informed consent form and be willing and able to comply with the study protocol. |
