More selective and less toxic therapeutic strategies are needed to improve cure rates and prolong survival in patients with relapsed and/or refractory non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Amongst the multiple new pathways recently studied two have emerged as potentially important targets for new agents in lymphoma. These include the ubiquitin proteasome pathway and the biochemical reactions that control histone acetylation. The first two agents in each class to have been studied in lymphomas are: bortezomib and vorinostat. Bortezomib has been granted FDA approval for the treatment of mantle cell lymphoma and has established activity in a variety of B-cell lymphomas including follicular, marginal zone and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Vorinostat or SAHA (suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid) has been FDA approved for the treatment of refractory cutaneous T-cell lymphomas and has also shown activity in other lymphomas. Synergistic activity between vorinostat and bortezomib has been observed in different cell lines. The proposed study will be a phase II trial of the combination of vorinostat and bortezomib at the recommended dose-schedule in patients with recurrent and/or refractory lymphomas, indolent and aggressive, and B or T.
