Brief Summary

This is an open-label non-randomized two-center phase 2 study evaluating the safety and efficacy of concurrent therapy with ibrutinib and venetoclax in subjects with relapsed or refractory CLL/SLL.

Detailed Description

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of concurrent therapy with ibrutinib and venetoclax in patients with relapsed and refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic leukemia (SLL).

The secondary objectives of this study are to define the safety, tolerability, and dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) within 28 days of completion of dose-escalation.

Conditions

Recurrent Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia; Recurrent Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma; Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia; Refractory Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma

Study Design

• Allocation Method: NA
• Intervention Model: SINGLE_GROUP
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

Treatment (ibrutinib, venetoclax)

Patients receive ibrutinib PO QD beginning on week 1 day 1. Treatment with ibrutinib continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also receive venetoclax PO QD beginning on week 9 day 1. Treatment with venetoclax continues up to week 61 day 7 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Ibrutinib

Intervention Type: DRUG

Administered at 420 mg/day, as oral capsules (3 x 140 mg), starting Day 1, Week 1.
