Lenalidomide and Ipilimumab After Stem Cell Transplant in Treating Patients With Hematologic or Lymphoid Malignancies

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess the safety of lenalidomide in combination with ipilimumab in autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplantation. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Overall response rate. II. Overall survival, progression-free survival. III. Cumulative incidence of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) with the competing risk of relapse in allogeneic transplant patients. OUTLINE: Patients receive lenalidomide orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21 of courses 1, 3, 5 and 7. Beginning 1-3 days after the last dose of lenalidomide patients receive one dose of ipilimumab intravenously (IV) over 90 minutes of courses 2, 4, 6 and 8. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 36 months.
