PCI-32765 (Ibrutinib) in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma, or B-cell Prolymphocytic Leukemia
Prolymphocytic Leukemia, Recurrent Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma, Refractory/Relapsed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Prolymphocytic Leukemia focused on measuring Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase, CLL, SLL, B-PLL
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Confirmed diagnosis of relapsed/refractory CLL/SLL who require treatment and have failed at least one prior therapy.
- Patients must have available results of interphase cytogenetics CLL fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) panel; the cytogenetic analysis must be done prior to starting therapy but after any recent therapy
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 2
- Life expectancy greater than 2 months
- Bilirubin =< 1.5 X the institutional upper limit of normal unless due to Gilbert's disease or disease related to Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =< 2.5 X the institutional upper limit of normal unless disease related
- Creatinine =< 1.5 X the institutional upper limit of normal unless disease related
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 0.75 X 10^9/L
- Platelet count >= 30 X 10^9/L
- Agree to use contraception during the study and for 30 days after the last dose of study drug if sexually active and able to bear children
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
- Patients with uncontrolled or active infection requiring antibiotic therapy; patients with controlled infections who are receiving extended antibiotics or prophylactic therapy are not excluded
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients who have had chemotherapy, radiotherapy or immunotherapy within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug (corticosteroids for disease-related symptoms allowed but doses equivalent to > 20 mg prednisone orally per day require 1 week washout before study drug administration or steroid dose must be equal to =< 20 mg prednisone orally daily)
- Patients who have not recovered from adverse events of >= grade 3 toxicity due to agents administered more than 4 weeks ago
- Receiving any other investigational agents
- Previously randomized to any PCI-32765 clinical trial
- Known secondary malignancy that limits survival to less than two years
- Patients with malabsorption syndrome, disease significantly affecting gastrointestinal function, or resection of the stomach or small bowel or ulcerative colitis, symptomatic inflammatory bowel disease, or partial or complete bowel obstruction
- Patients requiring anti-coagulation with warfarin or other Vitamin K antagonists or heparin products including low molecular weight heparin (LMWH)
- Currently active, clinically significant hepatic impairment Child-Pugh class B or C according to the Child Pugh classification
- Patients requiring treatment with a strong cytochrome P450 3A4/5 (CYP3A4/5) and/or cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) inhibitor
- Patients with a life-threatening illness, medical condition or organ system dysfunction which, in the investigator's opinion, could compromise the subject's safety, interfere with the absorption or metabolism of PCI-32765 PO, or put the study outcomes at undue risk
- Significant cardiovascular disease such as uncontrolled or symptomatic arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, or myocardial infarction within 6 months of screening, or any Class 3 or 4 cardiac disease as defined by the New York Heart Association Functional Classification
- Active central nervous system (CNS) involvement by lymphoma
- Pregnant or women who are breastfeeding

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Treatment (ibrutinib)
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.
