Experimental Treatment
Group I: Copanlisib in Combination With DegarelixExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Phase 1b: The starting Dose level 1 will be 45 mg with the intent of dose escalating to the standard dose of 60 mg approved for heme malignancy. In the event of > =2 DLT at Dose level 1 (45 mg) the study will be terminated. If >= 2 DLT in patients at Dose level 2 (60 mg), Dose level 1 (45 mg) will be the RP2D if <= 1 DLT out of 6 patients at this dose. Phase 2: Patients may dose reduce at the discretion of the investigator to the lowest dose of 45 mg. Participants who do not tolerate the copanlisib dose of 45 mg must discontinue study treatment permanently.
