Summary:

      This phase II trial studies how well bortezomib and vorinostat work in treating patients with
      recurrent mantle cell lymphoma or recurrent and/or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
      Bortezomib and vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes
      needed for cell growth.
    

Eligibility criteria:

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Histologically confirmed mantle cell or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; histological
             material must be available for central pathological review; unstained histological
             material -- slides or blocks -- must be available for correlative studies; archived
             material from previous biopsies is acceptable, unless a patient's lymphoma has been
             known to undergo histological transformation in the past, in which case a repeat
             biopsy to confirm histology prior to enrollment is required; availability of material
             must be confirmed at the time of registration, but material may be submitted

                         -  Note: Not intended for patients in first relapse who are candidates for
                            high dose therapy with stem cell support

             mL/min according to the Cockcroft-Gault formula

             0.4 x 10^9/L

          -  Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception
             (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for

          -  Plans for other concurrent cancer treatment; if steroids for cancer control have been
             used, patients must be off these agents for >= 1 week before starting treatment;

          -  Medical or other condition (for example: uncontrolled infection; potentially life
             threatening changes on electrocardiogram [EKG]) or concurrent treatment (for example,
             marrow suppressive agents such as zidovudine) that represents an inappropriate risk to
             the patient or likely would compromise achievement of the primary study objective;
             patients should be closely monitored when given bortezomib in combination with the
