Study #2013-0703
Randomized Study of Ibrutinib versus Ibrutinib Plus Rituximab (I Versus Ir) in Patients with Relapsed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
MD Anderson Study Status
Not Accepting
Treatment Agent
Ibrutinib, Rituximab
Description
This phase II trial studies ibrutinib with or without rituximab in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia that has come back after treatment. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether ibrutinib is more effective with or without rituximab in treating chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
