no restriction on the number of recurrences.

progression on imaging (MRI of the brain or head CT) 21 days prior to study
registration. For patients with leptomeningeal disease only, CSF cytology must
document lymphoma cells and/or imaging findings consistent with CSF disease 21 days
prior to study registration.

study registration

days prior to study registration

- International Normalized Ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5

- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 1.5 times the
ULN.

- Serum bilirubin ≤ upper limit of normal; or total bilirubin ≤ 2.0x the ULN with direct
bilirubin within the normal range in patients with well documented Gilbert Syndrome.

- Participants must be able to take oral medication.

- Patients must be able to tolerate MRI scans.

- Patients must be able to tolerate lumbar puncture and/or Ommaya taps.

- Participants must have recovered to grade 1 toxicity from prior therapy.

- Participates must be able to submit 20 unstained slides from the initial tissue
diagnosis for confirmation of diagnosis and correlative studies

- Life expectancy of > 3 months (in the opinion of the investigator) Note: Prior
autologous stem cell transplant as well as radiation to the CNS is NOT an
exclusion criterion. Prior allogenic stem cell transplant IS an exclusion
criterion.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients with SCNSL actively receiving treatment for extra-CNS disease are excluded.
Patient should have complete resolution of their systemic disease not requiring
additional systemic therapy (e.g. maintenance rituximab or decadron).

- The patient has received prior treatment with a PI3K inhibitor, AKT inhibitor, or mTOR
inhibitor (e.g. rapamycin, MK2206, perifosine, etc.).

- Patient is concurrently using other approved or investigational antineoplastic agents

- Patient has received chemotherapy or targeted anticancer therapy, monoclonal
antibodies ≤ 4 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, or 6 weeks for nitrosourea
or mitomycin-C prior to starting the study drug, or the patient has not recovered side
the side effects of such therapy

- Patient who has received wide field radiotherapy ≤ 4 weeks or limited field radiation
for palliation ≤ 2 weeks prior to starting study drug or who have not recovered to
grade 1 or better from related side effects of such therapy (except alopecia)

- Patient requires more than 8 mg of dexamethasone daily or the equivalent

- Patient is taking an enzyme inducing anti-epileptic drug (EIAED), including
phenobarbital, phenytoin, fosphenytoin, primidone, carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine,
eslicarbazepine, rufinamide, and felbamate. Participates must be off of any EIAED for
a least two weeks prior to starting the study drug

CYP3A. Participants must be off a strong CYP3A inhibitors and inducers for at least
two weeks prior to starting the study drug.

- Patient is taking a drug with known risk to promote QT prolongation and Torsade de
Pointes Patient is currently using herbal preparations or medications. Participants
should stop using herbal medications 7 days prior to the first dose of the study drug.

- Patient is using warfarin or any other Coumadin-derivative anticoagulant. Patients
must be off Coumadin-derivative anticoagulants for at least seven days prior to
starting the study drug. Low molecular weight heparin is allowed

- Patient has a history of allergic reactions to compounds of similar chemical or
biological composition to buparlisib

- Patient has an uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including, but not limited to,
ongoing or active infection, chronic liver disease, chronic renal disease,
pancreatitis, chronic pulmonary disease, or psychiatric illness or social situations
that would limit compliance with the study requirements

- Patient has acute viral hepatitis or a history of chronic or active HBV or HCV
infection

- Patient has an active concurrent malignancy requiring active therapy.

- Patient is known to have human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection

- Patient has any severe psychiatric disease that would interfere with participation in
the trial as determined by the study investigator

- Patient has ≥ CTCAE grade 3 anxiety

- Patient has ≥ CTCAE grade 2 diarrhea Patient has a score ≥12 on the PHQ-9
questionnaire

- Patient selects a response of "1, 2 or 3" to question number 9 on the
PHQ-9-questionaire regarding potential for suicidal thoughts or ideation (independent
of the total score of the PHQ-9).

- Patient has a GAD-7 mood scale score ≥15.

- Patient has a medically documented history of or active major depressive episode,
bipolar disorder (I or II), obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, a history of
suicidal attempt or ideation, or homicidal ideation (e.g. risk of doing harm to self
or others).

- Patient has active cardiac disease or cardiac dysfunction including any of the
following:

- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ,50% as determined by Multiple Gated
Acquisition (MUGA) scan or echocardiogram (ECHO)

- QTc>480msec on screening ECG (using the QTcF formula)
