Exclusion Criteria

• Any serious medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness that would prevent the subject from signing the informed consent form
• Pregnant females; (lactating females must agree not to breast feed while taking the study medications)
• Prior use of duvelisib if discontinued due to toxicity
• For the romidepsin arm of the study, prior therapy with romidepsin if discontinued due to toxicity
• For the bortezomib arm of the study, prior therapy with a proteasome inhibitor if discontinued due to toxicity
• For the bortezomib arm of the study, patients with grade >= 2 peripheral neuropathy
• History of chronic liver disease, veno-occlusive disease, or current alcohol abuse
• Administration of a live vaccine within 6 weeks of first dose of study drug
• Prior surgery or gastrointestinal dysfunction that may affect drug absorption (e.g., gastric bypass surgery, gastrectomy)
• Known seropositive and requiring anti-viral therapy for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV)
• Subjects with chronic hepatitis B or C as defined as test subjects with positive hepatitis (Hep) B serology: * Subjects with a negative hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) and a positive hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) require an undetectable/negative hepatitis B deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) (e.g., polymerase chain reaction [PCR] test) to be enrolled, and will require prophylactic antiviral treatment (e.g., F) initiated prior to the first dose of study drug, and continued until approximately 6 to 12 months after completion of study drug(s)
• Patients with positive hepatitis C virus
• Subjects with active Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) unrelated to underlying lymphoma (positive serology for anti-EBV virus capsid antigen [VCA] IgM antibody and negative for anti-EBV Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen [EBNA] IgG antibody, or clinical manifestations and positive EBV PCR consistent with active EBV infection)
• Subjects with active cytomegalovirus (CMV) (positive serology for anti-CMV IgM antibody and negative for anti-CMV IgG antibody and positive CMV PCR with clinical manifestations consistent with active CMV infection) and requiring therapy will be excluded from participation in the study; carriers will be monitored per institutional guidelines
• Receiving systemic therapy for another primary malignancy (other than T-cell lymphoma); * Patients with more than one type of lymphoma may be enrolled after discussion with the MSK principal investigator * Adjuvant or maintenance therapy to reduce the risk of recurrence of other malignancy (other than T-cell lymphoma) is permissible after discussion with the MSK principal investigator
• Known central nervous system or meningeal involvement (in the absence of symptoms, investigation into central nervous system involvement is not required)
• Uncontrolled infection requiring systemic antimicrobials
• The following cardiac abnormalities: * Congenital long QT syndrome * Corrected QT (QTc)/ Fridericia's correction QT (QTf) interval >= 480 milliseconds; unless secondary to pacemaker or bundle branch block * Myocardial infarction within 6 months (subjects with a history of myocardial infarction within the last 6 to 12 months who are asymptomatic and have had a negative cardiac risk assessment [treadmill stress test, nuclear medicine stress test, or stress echocardiogram] since the event may participate) * Other significant electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities including 2nd degree atrio-ventricular (AV) block type II, 3rd degree AV block * Symptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD), e.g. angina Canadian class II-IV; in any patient in whom there is doubt, the patient should have a stress imaging study and, if abnormal, angiography to define whether or not CAD is present * An ECG recorded at screening showing evidence of cardiac ischemia (ST depression of >= 2 mm, measured from isoelectric line to the ST segment); if in any doubt, the patient should have a stress imaging study and. if abnormal, angiography to define whether or not CAD is present * Congestive heart failure (CHF) that meets New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II to IV and/or ejection fraction < 45% by multigated acquisition (MUGA), echocardiogram, or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) * A known history of sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular fibrillation (VF), torsade de pointes, or cardiac arrest unless currently addressed with an automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (AICD) * Hypertrophic cardiomegaly or restrictive cardiomyopathy from prior treatment or other causes * Uncontrolled hypertension, i.e., blood pressure (BP) of >= 170/95; patients who have a history of hypertension controlled by medication must be on a stable dose (for at least one month prior to study registration) and meet all other inclusion criteria * Any cardiac arrhythmia requiring an anti-arrhythmic medication (excluding stable doses of beta-blockers) * For patients enrolling on the romidepsin arm; taking drugs associated with significant QTc/QTf prolongation, unless able to be switched to non-QTc/QTf prolonging medication or on a stable dose without significant QT prolongation (> 470 msec) ** Caution should be used when administering study drugs to patients taking medications significantly metabolized by these enzymes; particular attention should be paid to patients receiving warfarin; patients should have coagulation parameters monitored regularly, and warfarin dose adjusted accordingly; if these drugs cannot be discontinued or replaced, enrollment may be allowed after discussion with MSK principal investigator (PI)
