* New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV heart failure, arrhythmias or unstable angina, electrocardiograph (ECG) evidence of active ischemia or active conduction system abnormalities, or myocardial infarction within the last 6 months (prior to study entry, ECG abnormalities at screening must be documented by the investigator as not medically relevant)
* Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positivity
* Active hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection (hepatitis B surface antigen testing required)

* Any serious uncontrolled, medical or psychological disorder that would impair the ability of the patient to receive therapy
* Any condition which places the patient at unacceptable risk or confounds the ability of the investigators to interpret study data
* Any other investigational agent within 28 days of study entry
* Known hypersensitivity to bendamustine, mannitol, or other study-related drugs
