Study Summary
This trial will help determine the best dose of ibrutinib in combination with pembrolizumab for patients with CLL or MCL that has relapsed or progressed after prior therapy. The safety of this combination will also be studied.
Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who can provide consent and have measurable disease. They must be in good health otherwise, not pregnant, agree to use contraception, and haven't used certain other treatments recently like immunosuppressives or live vaccines.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a combination of two drugs: Ibrutinib, which blocks an enzyme that helps blood cancer cells grow; and Pembrolizumab, an antibody designed to help the immune system fight tumor cells. This study aims to find the right dose and see if this experimental combo works for CLL/MCL.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to the immune system attacking normal organs (autoimmune reactions), infusion-related reactions from receiving the drug into a vein, fatigue, infections due to lowered immunity, liver problems, and possibly others as it's an experimental treatment.
