• Escalation: calculated creatinine clearance(CrCl) ≥ 60ml/min using the Cockcroft-Gault equation (Men: CrCl (min/ml) = (140-age) X (actual weight in kg) / 72 X serum creatinine (mg/dL); Women: CrCl (ml/min) = (140-age) X (actual weight in kg) X 0.85 / 72 X serum creatinine (mg/dL))

• Extension: calculated creatinine clearance(CrCl) ≥30ml/min using the Cockcroft-Gault equation (Men: CrCl (min/ml) = (140-age) X (actual weight in kg) / 72 X serum creatinine (mg/dL); Women: CrCl (ml/min) = (140-age) X (actual weight in kg) X 0.85 / 72 X serum creatinine (mg/dL))

• Woman of reproductive potential must agree to use highly effective methods of birth control during the period of therapy and for 30 days after the last dose of the study drug. Men who are sexually active must agree to use highly effective contraception during the period of therapy and for 3 months after the last dose.

• Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative plasma pregnancy test upon study entry. See section on Pregnancy and Reproduction.

• Patients must be able to tolerate MRI/CT scans.

• Patients must be able to tolerate lumbar puncture and/or Ommaya taps.

• Participants must have recovered to grade 1 toxicity from prior therapy.

• Participants should be able to submit up to 20 unstained formalin-fixed, paraffinembedded (FFPE) slides from the initial tissue diagnosis prior to study registration for confirmation of diagnosis and correlative studies

• All study participants must be registered into the mandatory Revlimid REMS® program, and be willing and able to comply with the requirements of the REMS® program.

• Females of reproductive potential must adhere to the scheduled pregnancy testing as required in the Revlimid REMS® program.

NOTE: Prior autologous stem cell transplant as well as prior radiation to the CNS does NOT prevent patients from enrollment into the trial.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with SCNSL actively receiving treatment for extra-CNS disease are excluded.

• Patient is concurrently using other approved or investigational antineoplastic agents.

• Patient has received chemotherapy, monoclonal antibodies or targeted anticancer therapy ≤ 4 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, or 6 weeks for nitrosourea or mitomycin-C prior to starting the study drug, or the patient has not recovered from the side effects of such therapy.

• Patient has received external beam radiation therapy to the CNS within 21 days of the first dose of the study drug.

• Patient requires more than 8 mg of dexamethasone daily or the equivalent

• Patient has an active concurrent malignancy requiring active therapy

• The patient has been treated with radio- or toxin-immunoconjugates within 70 days of the first dose of the study drug.

• Patient is allergic to components of the study drug.

• Patient is using warfarin or any other Coumadin-derivative anticoagulant or vitamin K antagonists. Patients must be off warfarin-derivative anticoagulants for at least seven days prior to starting the study drug. Low molecular weight heparin is allowed. Patients with congenital bleeding diathesis are excluded.

• Patient is taking a drug known to be a moderate and strong inhibitor or inducers of the P450 isoenzyme CYP3A. Participants must be off P450/CYP3A inhibitors and inducers for at least two weeks prior to starting the study drug.

• Patient is using systemic immunosuppressant therapy, including cyclosporine A, tacrolimus, sirolimus, and other such medications, or chronic administration of > 5 mg/day or prednisone or the equivalent. Participants must be off immunosuppressant therapy for at least 28 days prior to the first dose of the study drug.

• Patient has significant abnormalities on screening electrocardiogram (EKG) and active and significant cardiovascular disease such as uncontrolled or symptomatic arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, hypertension, valvular disease, pericarditis, or myocardial infarction within 6 months of screening,

• Patient has a known bleeding diathesis (e.g. von Willebrand"s disease) or hemophilia.

• Patient is known to have human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.

(for patients who received a short-term, high-dose dexamethasone treatment course prior to enrollment (<7 days), the HbA1c value can be rounded to the nearest whole number).

• Patient has a life-threatening illness, medical condition, or organ system dysfunction that, in the opinion of the investigator, could compromise the subject"s safety or put the study outcomes at undue risk.
