Brief Summary

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ibrutinib and palbociclib in treating patients with previously treated mantle cell lymphoma. Ibrutinib and palbociclib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Palbociclib may also help ibrutinib work better by making cancer cells more sensitive to the drug.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To evaluate the safety of ibrutinib plus PD 0332991 (palbociclib) in patients with previously treated mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and select the recommended phase 2 dose schedule.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the toxicity profile of ibrutinib plus PD 0332991 (palbociclib). II. To estimate the overall response rate (ORR) and complete response (CR) rates.

III. To estimate the progression-free survival (PFS). IV. To estimate the response duration (RD).

LABORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the genomic profile of MCL cells pre-treatment and at relapse. II. To estimate the pharmacokinetic profile of ibrutinib when given concurrently with PD 0332991 (palbociclib).

III. To evaluate the level of cell-free tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) over time in conjunction with response to therapy.

IV. To evaluate the presence of circulating MCL cells over time.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive ibrutinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28 and palbociclib PO QD on days 1-21. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 2 years.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

• Subjects must have received at least one prior treatment regimen

• Subjects that have received a prior BTK inhibitor or CDK4/6 inhibition are ineligible
• Subjects that have undergone prior allogeneic stem cell transplantation will only be eligible if the transplant occurred at least 1 year prior to study entry, the patient is no longer taking any immunosuppressive therapy, and there are no significant ongoing transplant-related adverse effects
• Subjects must not have received chemotherapy =< 21 days prior to first administration of study treatment, monoclonal antibody =< 6 weeks prior to first administration of study treatment, and/or radiotherapy or other investigational agents =< 4 weeks prior to first administration study treatment unless the subjects' tumor has progressed on the previous therapy and the investigator believes that the patient should not postpone further therapy and, all treatment-related toxicities have resolved to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v) 5 =< grade 1; subjects may be receiving equivalent to prednisone at a maximum dose of 20 mg/day orally
• Subjects must be age >= 18 years
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 2 (Karnofsky >= 60%)
• Patients must have normal organ and marrow function, independent of transfusion or growth factor support within 14 days before enrollment; patients should not receive growth factors or transfusions for at least 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug, with the exception of pegylated GCSF (pegfilgrastim) and darbepoetin, which require at least 14 days prior to screening and enrollment
• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 750 cells/uL (within 14 days before enrollment)
• Platelets >= 50,000 cells/uL (within 14 days before enrollment)
• Total bilirubin =< 1.5 times upper limit of normal unless due to Gilbert's disease (within 14 days before enrollment)

• Calculated creatinine clearance >= 30 mL/min by Cockcroft-Gault (within 14 days before enrollment)
• Corrected QT interval (QTc) =< 480 ms (within 14 days before enrollment)
• Prothrombin time (PT)/international normalized ratio (INR) < 1.5 times upper limit of normal (within 14 days before enrollment)
• Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) < 1.5 times upper limit of normal (within 14 days before enrollment)
• The effects of ibrutinib and PD 0332991 (palbociclib) on the developing human fetus are unknown; for this reason and because tyrosine kinase inhibitors as well as other therapeutic agents used in this trial may be teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation; female patients who are of non-reproductive potential include the following: post-menopausal by history - no menses for >= 1 year; OR history of hysterectomy; OR history of bilateral tubal ligation; OR history of bilateral oophorectomy); female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test upon study entry; male and female patients who agree to use highly effective methods of birth control (e.g., condoms, implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some intrauterine devices [IUDs], complete sexual abstinence, or sterilized partner) during the period of therapy and for 90 days after the last dose of study drug
