Study Summary

This phase II trial studies how well rituximab and pembrolizumab with or without lenalidomide works in treating patients with follicular lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that has returned after a period of improvement. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab and pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as lenalidomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving rutuximab with pembrolizumab and lenalidomide may work better at treating follicular lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Primary Outcome

To determine the overall response rate (ORR) in subjects with relapsed follicular lymphoma (FL) treated with Rituximab plus pembrolizumab therapy. II. To determine the ORR in subjects with relapsed/refractory FL and relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-Cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who failed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy and rea treated with rituximab in combination with pembrolizumab and lenalidomide (Cohort 2)
