Brief Summary

This phase II trial studies how well ibrutinib in combination with rituximab and lenalidomide works in treating patients with previously untreated, stage II-IV follicular lymphoma or marginal zone lymphoma. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may block cancer growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, use substances made from living organisms that may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Giving ibrutinib in combination with rituximab and lenalidomide may work better in treating follicular lymphoma or marginal zone lymphoma.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the efficacy of ibrutinib combined with rituximab and lenalidomide in patients with previously untreated follicular lymphoma (FL) and marginal zone lymphoma (determined by progression-free survival at 2 years).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the efficacy of ibrutinib combined with rituximab and lenalidomide in subjects with FL as assessed by complete response rate (CR) at 120 weeks, overall response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR), event free survival (EFS), time to next anti-lymphoma treatment (TTNT), and overall survival (OS).

II. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ibrutinib combined with rituximab and lenalidomide in previously untreated subjects with FL and marginal zone lymphoma.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate prognostic and mechanistic biomarkers relative to treatment outcomes.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive lenalidomide orally (PO) on days 1-21, rituximab intravenously (IV) over 4-6 hours on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of cycle 1 and day 1 of all subsequent cycles, and ibrutinib PO once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 12 weeks for 1 year and then every 24 weeks for 2 years.
