Optimal Dose Finding Study ABT-199 and Ibrutinib in MCL
This phase I/Ib trial studies the best dose of ibrutinib and venetoclax in treating participants with mantle cell lymphoma that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Venetoclax may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Giving ibrutinib and venetoclax may work better in treating participants with mantle cell lymphoma.
Inclusion Criteria
- Willingness and ability to provide written informed consent and to comply with the study protocol as judged by the investigator
- Pathologically confirmed mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) which is relapsed or refractory to at least one chemotherapy containing regimen * Presence of cyclin D1 expression and/or t(11;14) by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) or cytogenetics is required

Exclusion Criteria
- Active second malignancy requiring treatment or that would interfere with assessment of response of the lymphoma per investigator’s discretion
- Known central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma
- Prior or concomitant treatments: * Prior treatment with ibrutinib * The following cancer treatments: ** Chemotherapy or biological therapy within 14 days prior to start of treatment ** Immunological therapy, radiation therapy, or hormonal therapy within 7 days prior to start of treatment ** Major surgery within 15 days prior to start of treatment ** Subjects who have unresolved toxicity (>= grade 2) from prior anti-cancer therapy, unless that event is thought to be due to disease progression * Any investigational agent, including small molecule agents, within 30 days prior to start of study treatment * Any of the following with 7 days prior to start of study treatment: ** B-cell receptor pathway inhibitor; ** CYP3A inhibitors (such as fluconazole, ketoconazole, and clarithromycin); ** Potent CYP3A inducers (e.g., rifampin, phenytoin, carbamazepine or St. John's wort); ** Warfarin or requires the use of warfarin (due to potential drug-drug interactions that may potentially increase the exposure of warfarin and complications of this effect); ** Antiretroviral medications ** Antibiotics, antifungals, or antivirals to treat an active infection (prophylactic antibiotics allowed) * Subjects who are unable or unwilling to discontinue use of prohibited medications, including medications with CYP450 interactions * Subject has received prior treatment with allogeneic stem cell transplant or solid organ transplant (except for cornea) for any indication
- Subject meets one of the following criteria: * Evidence of active tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) during screening * A measurable lymph node with diameter >= 10 cm, or * A measurable lymph node with diameter >= 5 cm and an absolute lymphocyte count (including atypical lymphocytes and circulating lymphoma cells) >= 25 x 10^9/L
- Subject has malabsorption syndrome or other condition which may affect an enteral route of administration
- Subject has known contraindication or allergy to both xanthine oxidase inhibitors and rasburicase
- Significant history of uncontrolled cardiac disease defined as uncontrolled arrhythmias, unstable angina, myocardial infarction within the last 4 months, and uncontrolled congestive heart failure or any class 2 - 4 New York Heart Association classification cardiac disease

- A serious uncontrolled medical disorder that in the opinion of the investigator would impair the ability of the subject to receive protocol therapy

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the optimal dose level for the combination of ibrutinib and venetoclax (ABT-199) in subjects with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To estimate the safety of optimal dose level for the combination of ibrutinib and ABT-199 for the treatment of relapsed or refractory MCL.
II. To obtain a preliminary estimate of the overall response rate (complete response [CR]+partial response [PR]), complete response rate, and progression-free and overall survival (PFS and OS) in subjects treated at optimal dose level for the combination of ibrutinib and ABT-199.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate pharmacokinetic parameters for ibrutinib and ABT-199 when used concurrently for the treatment of relapsed or refractory MCL.
II. To analyze the molecular profile for subjects who progress while on treatment of relapsed or refractory MCL with the combination of ibrutinib and ABT-199, at any dose.
OUTLINE:
Participants receive venetoclax orally (PO) once daily (QD) and ibrutinib PO QD. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unaccepted toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up at 30-35 days, every 3 months for 1 year, and then every 12 weeks for up to 3 years.
