Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Arm D Alternative Anticancer TherapyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
At the Investigator's discretion, alternative anticancer treatment is a therapeutic option for patients who experienced PD during Ibrutinib treatment or during or after Chlorambucil treatment. This Arm can also be considered if drug is discontinued for other reasons (e.g., intolerability or adverse event [AE]) or prior to experiencing PD).
Group II: Arm C Second-line IbrutinibExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients who received Chlorambucil in the parent study (PCYC-1115-CA) and experienced PD are transferred to this Arm for Ibrutinib treatment. Treatment will continue until PD, unacceptable toxicity, or other reasons for treatment discontinuation.
Group III: Arm B IbrutinibExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients randomized to Ibrutinib in the parent study (PCYC-1115-CA) who have not experienced PD at the time of parent study closure will be transferred to this Arm to continue on Ibrutinib treatment. Treatment will continue until PD, unacceptable toxicity, or other reasons for treatment discontinuation.
Group IV: Arm A Post-Chlorambucil Therapy FollowupExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients randomized to Chlorambucil in the parent study(PCYC-1115-CA) who have not progressed at the time of parent study closure will be transferred to this Arm. Follow-up will continue until PD, unacceptable toxicity, or other reason for treatment discontinuation.
