- Men and women age 18 and older
- Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL) with 17p deletion
- Relapsed or refractory disease after receiving at least one prior line line of systemic therapy which included at least two cycles of chemotherapy or immunotherapy for CLL/SLL
- Detailed eligibility reviewed when you contact the study team
Study Details
Ibrutinib (also known as PCI-32765) is a type of drug called a kinase inhibitor; the drug blocks an enzyme that helps cancer cells live and grow. By blocking the enzyme, it is possible that ibrutinib will kill cancer cells or stop them from growing.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether ibrutinib is safe and effective in treating CLL/SLL with 17p deletion.
Treatment Plan
All study participants will receive ibrutinib; there is no placebo in this study. Participants will take 3 capsules by mouth once a day and continue on treatment as long as they are responding to therapy and not experiencing unacceptable side effects.
