Summary

This trial is testing a new drug for people with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia, small lymphocytic lymphoma, or prolymphocytic leukemia.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with relapsed or refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma, or B-cell Prolymphocytic Leukemia who have failed at least one prior therapy. They should be in relatively stable condition (ECOG <=2), have a life expectancy over 2 months, and normal organ function as defined by specific blood test levels.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of Ibrutinib (PCI-32765) on its own in patients with certain types of leukemia and lymphoma that haven't responded to previous treatments. It's an open-label Phase II trial where everyone gets the drug; there's no comparison group.
What are the potential side effects?
Ibrutinib may cause side effects like diarrhea, bleeding problems, high blood pressure, fatigue, muscle and bone pain. Some people might also experience infections due to lowered white blood cell counts.

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (ibrutinib)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients will be treated with PCI-32765 capsules administered orally once daily at a dose of 420 mg for 28 day cycles. Weekly monitoring during the first month will occur followed by monthly evaluations for 2 additional months. Monitoring for patients at this point would be every 3 months with monthly CBC(complete blood count)and phone follow-up with a co-investigator on the study. A standard questionnaire will be used in this monthly phone assessment. Patients will continue to receive the study drug indefinitely as long as they are deriving clinical benefit (Complete Response or Partial Response or Stable Disease) and not experiencing any unacceptable toxicity. Subjects with disease progression will be removed from the study. Correlative laboratory samples, quality of life assessment, and immunologic data would be collected over time of therapy.
