Inclusion Criteria

• Must understand and voluntarily sign an informed consent form.

• Must be = 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form.

• Must be able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements.

• Biopsy-proven mantle cell NHL, including overexpression of cyclin D1 by immunohistochemistry or t(11;14)(q13;q32) by FISH. In patients whose tumors are negative for the cyclin D1 overexpression or translocation, overexpression of cyclin D2 or D3 by immunohistochemistry will be acceptable.

• Must have received all of the following agents (alone or in combination). (There is no limit on the number of agents or prior therapies). The following agents can be given in any combination:
- Anthracycline or mitoxantrone
- Cyclophosphamide
- Rituximab
-Bortezomib

• Patients must have documented relapsed, refractory or PD after treatment with bortezomib (or a bortezomib containing regimen) based on the following definitions:

- Relapsed lymphoma: patients with relapse within one year of last dose of bortezomib (or a bortezomib containing regimen) following initial response of CR to bortezomib (or a bortezomib containing regimen)

- Lymphoma refractory to bortezomib: patients with PD without any documented response of PR or better during treatment with bortezomib (or a bortezomib containing regimen) and having received at least 2 cycles of bortezomib (or a bortezomib containing regimen)

- Progressive disease: patients with PD within one year of last dose of bortezomib (or bortezomib containing regimen) following initial response of PR to bortezomib (or a bortezomib containing regimen)

• Patients who have relapsed following high dose chemotherapy/autologous stem cell transplant are eligible.

• Must have measurable disease on cross sectional imaging by CT that is at least 2 cm in the longest diameter and measurable in two perpendicular dimensions.

• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0, 1, or 2.

• Life expectancy of = 90 days (3 months).

• Females of child-bearing potential (FCBP) must agree to:

-Have two medically supervised pregnancy tests prior to starting of study therapy. The first pregnancy test will be performed within 10-14 days prior to the start of lenalidomide and the second pregnancy test will be performed within 24 hours prior to the start of lenalidomide. She must also agree to ongoing pregnancy testing during the course of the study, and after the end of study therapy. This applies even if the patient practices complete and continued sexual abstinence.

-Either commit to continued abstinence from heterosexual intercourse (which must be reviewed on a monthly basis) or agree to use, and be able to comply with, effective contraception without interruption, 28 days prior to starting study drug, during the study therapy (including dose interruptions), and for 28 days after discontinuation of study therapy.

• Male patients must:

-Agree to use a condom during sexual contact with a FCBP, even if they have had a vasectomy, throughout study drug therapy, during any dose interruption and after cessation of study therapy.

-Agree to not donate semen during study drug therapy and for a period after end of study drug therapy.

• All patients must:

-Have an understanding that the study drug could have a potential teratogenic risk.

- Agree to abstain from donating blood while taking study drug therapy and following discontinuation of study drug thera

Exclusion Criteria

• Any of the following laboratory abnormalities.

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 1,500 cells/mm^3 (1.5 x 10^9/L).

- Platelet count < 60,000/mm^3 (60 x 10^9/L).

- Serum aspartate transaminase (AST/SGOT) or alanine transaminase (ALT/SGPT) 5.0 x upper limit of normal (ULN).

- Serum total bilirubin > 2.0 mg/dL (34 µmol/L)/conjugated bilirubin > 0.8mg/dL, except in case of hemolytic anemia.

• Calculated creatinine clearance (Cockcroft-Gault formula) of < 30 mL /min

• Active central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma with the exception of those patients whose CNS lymphoma has been treated with chemotherapy, radiotherapy or surgery, have remained asymptomatic for 90 days (3 months) and demonstrate no CNS lymphoma as shown by lumbar puncture, CT are eligible. Patients with a history of CNS involvement or CNS symptoms will be required to have negative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytology examination and a head CT during the screening period

• Patients who have relapsed following allogeneic stem cell transplant and who have persistent donor hematopoiesis are not eligible.

• Patients who are candidates for high dose chemotherapy/allogeneic stem cell transplant are not eligible.

• Patients should not be receiving corticosteroids except for prednisone = 10 mg/day or equivalent for purposes other than treating MCL.

• Patients not willing to take deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis.

• Prior history of malignancies, other than MCL, unless the patient has been free of the disease for = 3 years. Exceptions include the following:

- Basal cell carcinoma of the skin
- Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin
- Carcinoma in situ of the cervix
- Carcinoma in situ of the breast
- Incidental histological finding of prostate cancer (TNM stage of T1a or T1b)

- Ongoing or active infection requiring parenteral antibiotics
- Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
- Chronic symptomatic congestive heart failure (Class III or IV of the New York Heart Association Classification for Heart Disease)
- Unstable angina pectoris, angioplasty, stenting, or myocardial infarctions within 180 days (6 months)

• Desquamating (blistering) rash while taking thalidomide

• Patients with = Grade 2 neuropathy

• Prior use of lenalidomide

• Use of the following prior to initiation (day 1 cycle 1) of study drug:
- Prior chemotherapy within 2 weeks (with recovery of bone marrow function),
- Nitrosoureas within 6 weeks
- Antibody agents within 8 weeks
- Radioimmunoconjugate within 12 weeks
- Radiation therapy within 3 weeks (except for cranial RT and electron beam)

• Any serious medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness that would prevent the patient from signing the informed consent form

• Pregnant or lactating females.

• Any condition, including the presence of laboratory abnormalities, which places the patient at unacceptable risk if he/she were to participate in the stu
