Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18–80 with a definitive diagnosis of Rosai‑Dorfman disease, ECOG ≤2, and who are treatment‑naive or relapsed/refractory and able to provide informed consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with recent major surgery or radiotherapy, significant cardiac disease (including recent myocardial infarction or NYHA class 3–4 heart failure), pregnant or lactating women, those unable to use reliable contraception, or with significant liver or kidney dysfunction are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

What this trial studies
This is a phase 2 interventional trial testing an oral lenalidomide and intermittent dexamethasone regimen in adults with confirmed Rosai‑Dorfman disease. Participants receive lenalidomide 25 mg orally on days 1–21 and dexamethasone 40 mg on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each 28‑day cycle, for up to 12 cycles. The protocol enrolls treatment‑naive and relapsed/refractory patients with ECOG performance status ≤2 who are judged suitable by their clinicians. The study monitors treatment safety and disease response during and after the treatment period.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this regimen could offer an effective oral treatment option that controls disease activity and reduces symptoms for some patients with Rosai‑Dorfman disease.
How similar studies have gone: Small case reports and series have suggested benefit from immunomodulatory agents like lenalidomide in Rosai‑Dorfman disease, but randomized or large prospective data are lacking.
