Phase 2
This trial looked at lenalidomide for people who had mantle cell non Hodgkin lymphoma. It was for people who had been treated with bortezomib (Velcade).
Doctors often treat mantle cell lymphoma with chemotherapy. If mantle cell lymphoma comes back, doctors are not sure what to treat it with and have few treatments to choose from.
Bortezomib is a type of biological therapy. It is a cancer growth blocker. It stops signals that cancer cells use to divide and grow. Doctors only give bortezomib to people with mantle cell lymphoma as a part of clinical trials.
Lenalidomide is another type of biological therapy. It works mainly by helping the body’s immune system target cancer cells.
The aims of this trial were to find out
If lenalidomide could help people with mantle cell lymphoma after having bortezomib
How safe it was to give lenalidomide to people with mantle cell lymphoma after having bortezomib
