This research study is studying a chemotherapy drug Lenalidomide as a possible treatment for one of three histiocyte disorders: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD), or histiocytic sarcoma (HS).
This research study is a Phase II clinical trial. Phase II clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational intervention to learn whether the intervention works in treating a specific disease. "Investigational" means that the intervention is being studied. The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not approved lenalidomide for your specific disease but it has been approved for other uses. Lenalidomide is a chemotherapy drug that belongs to a class of drugs called immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs), which modify a participant's immune response in order to treat cancer. Lenalidomide alters the body's immune system and it may also interfere with the development of tiny blood vessels that help support tumor growth. Therefore, it may reduce or prevent the growth of cancer cells. Lenalidomide has been shown to restore the immune cells' ability to attack and kill tumor cells Lenalidomide is approved by the FDA to treat certain cancers including multiple myeloma and myelodysplastic syndrome.

Overall Response Rate (ORR)
Proportion of participants achieving either complete resolution of all signs or symptoms which is non-active disease (NAD) status or regression of signs or symptoms along with no new lesions which is better active-disease (AD) status per Histiocyte Society criteria any time on treatment.
Time frame: Disease assessed every 3 cycles on treatment up do 12 cycles (approximately 12 months).
12-months Progression-free Survival (PFS)
Progression-free survival (PFS) based on the Kaplan-Meier method is defined as time from registration to progression (PD) or death, censored for patients alive and progression-free at last disease assessment. PD is defined by Histiocyte criteria. Percent PFS is the percent of patients who are alive and progression-free at 12 months.
Time frame: Disease assessed on treatment every 3 cycles and in long-term follow-up up to the earlier of 36 months (every 3 months for 2 years then every 6 months) or start of new anti-cancer therapy. Relevant for this endpoint was12-months estimate.
12-months Overall Survival (OS)
Overall survival (OS) based on the Kaplan-Meier method is defined as the time from registration to death, censored for patients alive at last contact. Percent OS is the percent of patients who are alive at 12 months.
Time frame: 12 Months
Incidence of Grade 3-4 Toxicity
Grade 3-4 adverse events (AE) with treatment attribution of possibly, probably or definite (treatment-related) based on NCI Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events version 3 (CTCAEv3) as reported on case report forms were tabulated by maximum grade. Incidence is the proportion of participants experiencing at least one treatment-related grade 3-4 AE of any type during the time of observation.
Time frame: Up to 12 months on treatment.

Quantitative serial measurements of urine cell free DNA for BRAF mutation as a biomarker of response
Time frame: 12 Months
Percent Change in Serum TNF-alpha Levels on Therapy From Baseline up to 12 Cycles
Serum TNF-alpha levels were quantified per established methods and maximum percent change in level from baseline derived.
Time frame: Measured at baseline, day 1 of cycles 3, 6 ad 12 cycles and within 28 days post-treatment end (up to 13 months).
Plasma Cell Free DNA for BRAF
