There is a demonstrated progressive disease requiring further treatment. Histological subtype included into the study are are as follows Small lymphocytic/lymphoplasmocytic lymphoma; Nodal marginal zone Lymphoma (MALT lymphoma are excluded) Splenic marginal zone lymphoma Mantle cell lymphoma A lymphnode biopsy is advisable if it is not harmful for the patients, before enrollment of the patient into the study in order to confirm diagnosis and to rule out histologic transformation. Lymphnode biopsy should be performed within 6 months before study entry.

6. Measurable and/or evaluable disease.
7. Adequate haematological counts: ANC\> 1.0 x 109/L and PLT counts\> 75 x 109/L unless due to bone marrow involvement by lymphoma.
