Official Title: Phase I/II Study of Lenalidomide Combined With Modified DA-EPOCH and Rituximab (EPOCH-R(2)) In Primary Effusion Lymphoma or KSHV-Associated Large Cell Lymphoma

Brief Summary:

Background:

Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is a rare disease with no standard treatment. Researchers want to see if a drug called lenalidomide along with common chemotherapy drugs may be effective in treating PEL.

Objective:

To test a new treatment for PEL.

Eligibility:

People ages 18 and older with PEL.

Design:

Participants will be screened with blood tests, imaging studies, a physical exam, and other tests.

Participants will have tests to evaluate their disease. These may include:

Blood tests

Scans

Lumbar puncture. Fluid around the spinal cord will be removed with a needle.

Bone marrow removed with a needle and studied

Samples of skin or lymph nodes removed

Fluid removed from around organs

Lung and eye tests

Tubes with cameras taking pictures of airways or digestive tract

Participants will take lenalidomide pills for 10 days. They will keep a pill diary.

Participants will have a catheter (small tube) placed in the large vein in the arm or chest.

Participants will get DA-EPOCH-R as intra
