Trial of Bendamustine, Lenalidomide and Rituximab in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL)

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2014-10-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This study is for subjects with a B-cell lymphoid malignancy (lymphoma) or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) that has come back after or did not get better with previous treatment. The purpose of this study is to find out the highest dose of lenalidomide that can be given together with bendamustine and rituximab. The study will also look what effects the combination of lenalidomide and bendamustine and the combination of lenalidomide, bendamustine and rituximab will have on patients and their disease.

• Phase: Phase 1
