Responses indicated were to lenalidomide monotherapy unless otherwise specified. Patient 10, who had systemic CLL with nodal involvement and documented brain parenchymal secondary CNS lymphoma (DLBCL), experienced stable peripheral lymphadenopathy with lenalidomide. Patient 13 had active leptomeningeal CLL plus concomitant DLBCL in CSF, as assessed by flow cytometry, and lymphoma in optic nerves, as assessed by MRI scan and neuroophthalmologic examinations. This patient’s systemic disease exhibited a PR to lenalidomide with >50% decrease in peripheral lymphocyte count compared with baseline counts prelenalidomide.
