Lenalidomide, Ibrutinib, and Rituximab in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma That Is Metastatic or Cannot Be Removed by Surgery (NCT02160015)

A Phase 1 Study of Lenalidomide and Ibrutinib in Combination With Rituximab in Relapsed and Refractory CLL and SLL

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Phase1 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide when given together with ibrutinib and rituximab in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma that has come back (relapsed), has not responded well to prior treatments (refractory), has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic), or cannot be removed by surgery. 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. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving lenalidomide together with ibrutinib and rituximab may kill more cancer cells.
