Group Intervention Description Experimental: clarithromycin and lenalidomide clarithromycin and lenalidomide CLARITHROMYCIN: daily orally administration in cycles of 28 days; 500mg film-coated tablets LENALIDOMIDE: every cycle of treatment lasts 28 days; daily orally administration is of 21 consecutive days with a week of rest. 20mg capsule hard.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Tumor response assessment During the active treatment period after the 3rd cycles of both drugs administration The primary outcome measure is tumour response assessed according to the Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma, either clinically (including appropriate imaging procedures) or endoscopically and histologically (in patients affected by gastric lymphoma, according to the GELA scoring system).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Adverse Events assessments During the active treatment period 1. Treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) incidence, severity and relationship to study treatment.
2. Time from first IMP administration to assessment of disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs earlier.
