Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug for people with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia, small lymphocytic lymphoma, or prolymphocytic leukemia.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with relapsed or refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma, or B-cell Prolymphocytic Leukemia who have failed at least one prior therapy. They should be in relatively stable condition (ECOG <=2), have a life expectancy over 2 months, and normal organ function as defined by specific blood test levels.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of Ibrutinib (PCI-32765) on its own in patients with certain types of leukemia and lymphoma that haven't responded to previous treatments. It's an open-label Phase II trial where everyone gets the drug; there's no comparison group.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Ibrutinib may cause side effects like diarrhea, bleeding problems, high blood pressure, fatigue, muscle and bone pain. Some people might also experience infections due to lowered white blood cell counts.

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (ibrutinib)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients will be treated with PCI-32765 capsules administered orally once daily at a dose of 420 mg for 28 day cycles. Weekly monitoring during the first month will occur followed by monthly evaluations for 2 additional months. Monitoring for patients at this point would be every 3 months with monthly CBC(complete blood count)and phone follow-up with a co-investigator on the study. A standard questionnaire will be used in this monthly phone assessment. Patients will continue to receive the study drug indefinitely as long as they are deriving clinical benefit (Complete Response or Partial Response or Stable Disease) and not experiencing any unacceptable toxicity. Subjects with disease progression will be removed from the study. Correlative laboratory samples, quality of life assessment, and immunologic data would be collected over time of therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is ibrutinib more likely to create adverse reactions in patients?

"While there is some data supporting ibrutinib's safety, it remains unproven whether the medication is actually effective. Consequently, it received a score of 2."

Answered by AI

How many people are participating in this research?

"As of right now, this study has completed recruitment for their clinical trial. This particular trial was initially posted on May 21st, 2012 and most recently updated on June 27th, 2022. If you are looking for other studies to participate in, there are 2950 trials actively admitting patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and 202 ibrutinib studies recruiting patients."

Answered by AI

Are new participants currently being enrolled in this clinical trial?

"Unfortunately, this particular trial is not accepting candidates at the moment. It was initially posted on May 21st, 2012 and last updated June 27th, 2022. If you're interested in other leukemia trials, there are 2950 clinical studies currently recruiting for chronic lymphocytic leukemia and 202 ibrutinib trials with open enrollment."

Answered by AI

For what reasons is ibrutinib generally given to patients?

"Ibrutinib is commonly used to supplement amino acid therapy. However, it has also been shown to help patients with renal dysfunction, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and kidney failure."

Answered by AI

What is the scientific community's previous experience with ibrutinib?

"As of this moment, 202 ibrutinib trials are active with 26 in Phase 3. Most of these drug tests are conducted in Tampa, Florida; however, there are 14,048 total locations where these trials take place."

Answered by AI

Have these medical procedures been tested before on humans?

"Ibrutinib has been under research since 2007 when the first trial, sponsored by Baxter Healthcare Corporation, was conducted. In total there have been 4640 participants in ibrutinib trials. The most recent stage of drug approval, Phase 4, was received in 2007. As of now, 202 active studies are being conducted for ibrutinib across 44 countries and 1482 cities"
