Brief Summary:
This phase II trial studies ibrutinib with or without rituximab in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia that has come back after treatment. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether ibrutinib is more effective with or without rituximab in treating chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Prolymphocytic Leukemia Recurrent Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Recurrent Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma Drug: Ibrutinib Other: Quality-of-Life Assessment Other: Questionnaire Administration Biological: Rituximab Phase 2

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To compare the 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate in treated patients.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine safety and tolerability, the overall response rate (ORR), the estimated PFS, changes in immune parameters (lymphocyte subpopulations, immunoglobulin levels) and biomarker responses in relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients receiving ibrutinib (i) versus ibrutinib and rituximab (iR).

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Patients receive ibrutinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM II: Patients receive ibrutinib as in Arm I beginning on day 1 or 2. Patients also receive rituximab intravenously (IV) over 3-8 hours on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of cycle 1 and day 1 of cycles 2-6. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 60 days and then every 4 months for 5 years.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression-free survival rate [ Time Frame: Time from start of treatment to progression or death date, assessed at 2 years ]
    A two-sided log-rank test will be used to assess the differences of progression-free survival between the treatment groups.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Toxicity will be reported by type, frequency and severity. Highest toxicity grades per patient per course will be tabulated for selected adverse events and laboratory measurements.

  2. Overall response rate [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Wilcoxon rank test will be used in the data analyses of continuous variables.

  3. Estimated progression-free survival [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Time to progression functions will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. A two-sided log-rank test will be used to assess the differences of progression-free survival between the treatment groups.

  4. Changes in immune parameters (lymphocyte subpopulations, immunoglobulin levels) [ Time Frame: Baseline to up to 5 years ]
    Will be assessed by flow cytometry.

  5. Quality of life (QOL) [ Time Frame: Up to 24 cycles (96 weeks) ]
    Will be assessed by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer QOL Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30). Analyzed by linear mixed models for longitudinal data. These models allow each patient to have a random intercept and a random slope, which describe their differences at baseline and their different changing trends over time.

  • Any other severe concurrent disease, or have a history of serious organ dysfunction or disease involving the heart, kidney, liver or other organ system that may place the patient at undue risk to undergo therapy with ibrutinib and rituximab
  • 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
  • History of stroke or cerebral hemorrhage within 6 months
  • Evidence of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy within 3 months
  • Major surgical procedure, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to enrollment date, anticipation of need for major surgical procedure during the course of the study
  • Minor surgical procedures, fine needle aspirations or core biopsies within 7 days prior to enrollment date; bone marrow aspiration and/or biopsy are allowed
  • Serious, non-healing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture
