Study start date: March 1, 2004

Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the efficacy of bortezomib in patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma using overall response rate as the primary efficacy endpoint. II. To assess time to progression and 2-year overall survival after bortezomib therapy. III. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of bortezomib in patients with relapsed/refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive bortezomib IV over 3-5 seconds on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 8 courses in the absence of rapid disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months for 2 years.
