   2. Clinical sign(s) including skin lesions consistent with lymphoma, organ dysfunction or organomegaly not attributable to other causes; or other clinical sign(s)
   3. Detectable blood or plasma ENV DNA (may use local laboratory)
3. Completed most recent course of chemotherapy at least 2 weeks prior to first study drug dose.
