Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy such as epirubicin use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Monoclonal antibodies such as rituximab can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells Combining epirubicin with rituximab may kill more cancer cells

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining epirubicin with rituximab in treating patients who have relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkins lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the response rate time to progression and overall survival of patients with refractory or relapsed B-cell non-Hodgkins lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia treated with epirubicin and rituximab
Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients
Determine the pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients

OUTLINE This is a non-randomized open-label multicenter study

Patients receive epirubicin IV over 3-5 minutes once weekly for 6 weeks Patients also receive rituximab IV on weeks 2 and 5 during course 1 and then on weeks 1 and 4 for all remaining courses Treatment repeats every 8 weeks for a maximum of 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Patients are followed every 3 months until disease progression

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 18-38 patients will be accrued for this study within 25-3 years
