Eligibility Criteria

Age 18+ · All Participants · 10 Total Inclusion Criteria

Mark “Yes” if the following statements are true for you:
You have at least one visible lump or abnormality that measures at least 1 x 1.5 cm.
You must be able to carry out daily activities without any major issues (ECOG performance status of 0, 1, or 2).
Your blood clotting ability, measured by PTT or aPTT, must not be more than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal.
You have mantle cell lymphoma that has either come back after treatment or did not respond to initial treatment. Tests have shown that your cancer cells have a specific marker called cyclin D1 or a genetic abnormality called t(11;14).
You have a certain type of lymphoma called MCL, follicular lymphoma [FL] [grades I-IIIa], marginal zone lymphoma [MZL], or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) that has come back or gotten worse after trying at least two treatments (or one treatment that contains a specific type of medication called BTK inhibitor). There is no limit to the number of treatments you have tried before. Also, your doctor has determined that your risk of developing tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is low.
This applies only to the Expansion Portion of the study. You have a type of cancer called MCL that has come back or gotten worse after being treated with at least two different therapies or one specific therapy called a BTK inhibitor. You may have had a stem cell transplant in the past and there is no limit to the number of previous treatments you have had. You may have also received BTK inhibitor therapy before.
You must have enough infection-fighting cells in your blood (ANC >= 1000/mm^3) within 14 days before starting the study.
You must have a minimum number of platelets in your blood, which will be checked within 14 days before starting the trial.
Your blood count needs to show a hemoglobin level of at least 9.0 g/dL within two weeks before enrolling in the trial.
Your blood clotting test, called international normalized ratio, should not be more than 1.5 times the normal limit, unless you are taking anticoagulant medication. The test should have been done within 14 days before registration.
