  • Histologically confirmed diagnosis of MZL
  • Disease refractory to or in first or greater relapse after prior systemic therapy
  • In need of treatment disease satisfying the following criteria: • EMZL: symptomatic lymphoma or with other treatment indications (overt progression, deep invasion, bulky disease, impending organ damage, patient preference), symptomatic disseminated disease, contraindications to radiotherapy (RT), failure after antibiotics or after local therapy, • SMZL: presence of progressive or symptomatic splenomegaly and/ or any progressive cytopaenias, • NMZL: B symptoms, deterioration of peripheral blood counts due to lymphoma infiltration of the bone marrow, rapid enlargement of lymph nodes or compression of vital organs by bulky disease

Curatively treated basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix or carcinoma in situ of the prostate at any time prior to study, b.
