Ibrutinib in Treating Patients with Refractory or Relapsed Lymphoma after Donor Stem Cell Transplant
This phase II trial studies how well ibrutinib works in treating patients after a donor stem cell transplant for lymphoma that is not responding to treatment or has come back. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To study the use of ibrutinib starting between day 60 and day 90 after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) until 12 months post HCT to improve the progression-free survival (PFS) at 12 months post HCT by 25% compared to historical controls.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To increase the incidence of successful outcome (defined as lack of requirement of second line therapy for acute graft-versus-host disease [GVHD], lack of National Institutes of Health [NIH] severe chronic GVHD, lack of progression or relapse of chronic lymphocytic leukemia [CLL]/mantle cell lymphoma [MCL], lack of death from disease or non-relapse causes) to at least 60% at 1 year post HCT. (Cohort A)
II. To study the safety and tolerability of ibrutinib post HCT in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). (Cohort A and B combined)
III. To study the incidence of grade 3-4 acute GVHD in the first 6 months post HCT in patients with NHL and HL. (Cohort A and B combined)
IV. To study the incidence of second line therapy (systemic only) for acute GVHD in the first 6 months post HCT in patients with NHL and HL. (Cohort A and B combined)
V. To study the incidence of recurrent acute GVHD in the first 6 months post HCT in patients with NHL and HL. (Cohort A and B combined)
VI. To study the incidence and severity of chronic GVHD in the first 12 months post HCT in patients with NHL and HL. (Cohort A and B combined)
VII. To study the incidence of lung involvement with GVHD in the first 12 months post HCT in patients with NHL and HL. (Cohort A and B combined)

II. To study the association of T-cell clonality by T cell receptor (TCR) Vb sequencing prior to starting ibrutinib and compare to post ibrutinib at month 6, 9 and 12 after HCT. (Cohort A)
III. To study the association of B cell receptor signaling pathways and immune function with response by single cell mass cytometry prior to starting ibrutinib and compare to post ibrutinib at month 6, 9 and 12 after HCT. (Cohort A)
IV. To study the association of single cell mass cytometry that investigates B cell receptor signaling and its association with new acute or chronic GVHD on B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling. (Cohort A)
OUTLINE:
Beginning between 60-90 days post donor stem cell transplant, patients receive ibrutinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) until 1 year post donor stem cell transplant in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of treatment, patients are followed up for 2 years.
