Study Summary

This trial is studying the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide when given with ibrutinib and rituximab to treat patients with CLL or SLL that has come back, is refractory, has spread, or cannot be removed by surgery.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma that's returned, spread, or can't be surgically removed. Eligible participants must not have severe allergies to the drugs being tested, no recent heart issues or strokes, and should not be pregnant. They need functioning major organs and cannot have used certain treatments recently.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests a combination of lenalidomide with ibrutinib and rituximab to see how well they work together against cancer cells. It's in phase I to determine side effects and the best dose. The study includes collecting biospecimens, bone marrow biopsies, imaging tests like CT scans and MRIs.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune system reactions leading to inflammation in various organs, fatigue, blood disorders such as anemia or clotting problems, increased risk of infections due to lowered immunity from rituximab therapy.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (lenalidomide, ibrutinib, rituximab)Experimental Treatment8 Interventions
Patients receive rituximab IV on day 1 (up to 6 cycles), lenalidomide PO QD on days 1-21 (up to 12 cycles), and ibrutinib PO QD on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo ECG on screening and CT scan or MRI, bone marrow biopsy and blood sample collection throughout the study.
