Criteria

Inclusion criteria:

2. has disease that is refractory to steroids, OR

3. has contraindications to steroid therapy (including diabetes, mood disorder, obesity)

3. Absolute neutrophil count >1500 and platelet count >/= 100,000

4. Calculated creatinine clearance (or estimated GFR) greater than or equal to 60ml/min

5. In patients without hepatobiliary involvement by IgG4-RD, total bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (SGOT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (SGPT) less than or equal to 3 x ULN

11. Females must follow pregnancy testing requirements as outlined in the Revlimid REMS™ program

Exclusion criteria:

1. Predominant changes of fibrosis (as opposed to active cellular inflammation) within the organs affected by IgG4-RD, such that the likelihood of a disease response to treatment is low

2. Presence of active infection that would interfere with therapy on this study, including positive serum hepatitis B surface antigen, HIV or active hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, untreated syphilis or tuberculosis, clinical history of multiple herpes virus reactivations

3. Known immunodeficiency state

4. New York Heart Association Classification III or IV heart disease
