Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Determine the feasibility in terms of toxicity and patient compliance of thalidomide in patients with asymptomatic indolent non-Hodgkins lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia Determine the event-free and progression-free survival of patients treated with this drug Determine disease response and time to next treatment in patients treated with this drug Determine the quality of life of patients treated with this drug
OUTLINE Patients receive oral thalidomide once daily Treatment continues for 18 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Quality of life is assessed at baseline monthly during study and at the end of the study
