Phase 2 Study of the Combination of Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor PCI-32765 and Rituximab in High-Risk Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma Patients

Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if PCI-32765 (Ibrutinib) combined with rituximab can help to control CLL and SLL. The safety of this combination will also be studied. Ibrutinib is designed to stop a protein from working in the cells, which may cause the cancer cells to die or stop growing. Rituximab is designed to attach to cancer cells and damage them, which may cause the cells to die.
