Temsirolimus for Relapsed/Refractory Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Temsirolimus 25 mg IV infusion will be given once weekly on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of each
cycle. Patients will be assessed for response with CT scans after the second cycle, and then
after every other cycle until disease progression is confirmed.

Patients will be treated with Temsirolimus until disease progression, or up to six cycles.
Continuation of therapy beyond cycles is at the discretion of the investigator.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Histologically confirmed classical Hodgkin Lymphoma or Lymphocyte Predominant Hodgkin
Lymphoma with progressive disease during or at the end of the previous therapy, as
defined by the IWG criteria.

Hodgkin Lymphoma (Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma), or Lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin
Lymphoma.

- Baseline measurements and evaluations must be obtained within 4 weeks of registration
to the study.

- Abnormal PET scans will not constitute evaluable disease, unless verified by CT scan
or other appropriate imaging.

- A clearly defined, bidimensionally measurable lymph node or tumor mass measuring at
least 2 cm in diameter on a CT scan.

- Patient should have had at least one line of prior chemotherapy. Patients relapsing
after treatment with radiation therapy alone are not eligible.

- Age > than or equal to 18 years.

- Both men and women and members of all races and ethnic groups are eligible for this

- Patient must have a SWOG performance status between 0-2.

- Patient must have no prior treatment with an m-TOR inhibitor.

- Patient must not have active infections at the time of registration.

- Laboratory studies should be obtained within two weeks of study registration except
where noted otherwise. Allowable laboratory values are listed below:

- Absolute neutrophil count > than or equal 1,000/mm3

- Hemoglobin > than or equal 8 gm/dL

- Platelets > than or equal 75,000/mm3

- Serum creatinine < than or equal to two times the upper limit of normal. Creatinine
should be measured within seven days of registration.

- Total serum bilirubin < than or equal to ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal. Total
bilirubin should be measured within seven days of registration.

- AST (SGOT) < than or equal to 3 times the upper limit of normal.

- ALT (SGPT) < than or equal to 3 times the upper limit of normal.

- Fasting total cholesterol < than or equal to 350 mg/dL.

- Fasting triglyceride level < than or equal to 400 mg/dL.

- Patient must have a life expectancy of three months.

autologous stem cell transplantation more than six months prior to registration is
acceptable.

- Patient must not have received prior chemotherapy, biologic therapy or radiation
within three weeks prior to registration, and should have recovered from toxicities of
prior therapy (to Grade 0 or 1).

- Patient must not have evidence of active CNS disease.

- Patient must not have an uncontrolled comorbid disease, including hyperlipidemia,
hypertriglyceridemia, diabetes mellitus, symptomatic congestive heart failure,
