Brief Summary: Everolimus is an oral mTOR inhibitor with demonstrated preliminary efficacy and safety in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma DLBCL in both preclinical and clinical studies The purpose of this research study is to determine whether Everolimus plus rituximab is safe and effective in participants with relapsed or refractory DLBCL Everolimus is an investigational drug that works by blocking a special protein that helps cancer cells grow The safety and effectiveness of Everolimus in the treatment of DLBCL has not yet been fully determined and is still investigational The other drug in this study rituximab is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration FDA for use in patients who have diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and certain other types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma Rituximab is a drug that destroys both normal and cancerous B-cells
Detailed Description: Participants will receive oral Everolimus and intravenous rituximab for DLBCL that has relapsed or been refractory to prior therapy
