Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This phase II trial studies how well ibrutinib works in treating patients with follicular lymphoma that has come back after a period of improvement or does not respond to treatment. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
