Antibiotics-unresponsive MALT Lymphoma Clinical Trial
— LCMALTOfficial title:
A Phase II Trial of Combination of Oral Lenalidomide and Low-dose Cyclophosphamide for Patients With Antibiotics-unresponsive Extranodal Marginal Zone B-cell Lymphoma
Considering that lenalidomide and cyclophosphamide are found to have anti-tumor effects in MALT lymphoma, the investigators speculated that combined lenalidomide and low-dose cyclophosphamide can increase the overall response rate as well as dural time of tumor remission, and avoid alternative treatments, including radiotherapy or chemotherapy-related adverse effects in antibiotics-unresponsive, relapsed or refractory extranodal MALT lymphoma. Therefore, in this proposal, the investigators will design a prospective phase II study to evaluate the treatment efficacies of combination of oral lenalidomide and low-dose cyclophosphamide (LC: lenalidomide [Leavdo®] 15 mg daily, day 1 to day 21; cyclophosphamide [Endoxan] 50 mg daily, day 1 to day 21; courses will be repeated every 28 days) in patients with antibiotics-unresponsive, relapsed or refractory extranodal MALT lymphoma.

Lymphoma histology other than MALT lymphoma or MALT lymphoma with a diffuse large cell lymphoma ("high grade lymphoma") component 2. Use of any investigational agent within 28 days prior to initiation of treatment 3. History of malignancy other than squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix or carcinoma in situ of the breast within the last 5 years unless in complete remission since at least 3 years 4.
