Study Summary

This trial looks at how well ibrutinib works in treating patients with follicular 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.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with relapsed or unresponsive follicular lymphoma, who've had at least one prior treatment. They must have measurable disease, acceptable blood counts and organ function, and be willing to provide samples for research. Pregnant women, those on certain drugs like CYP3A4/5 inhibitors or steroids, HIV-positive patients on antiretroviral therapy, individuals with active hepatitis B/C or other serious health issues are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests Ibrutinib's effectiveness in treating follicular lymphoma that has returned after treatment or hasn't responded to previous treatments. It involves taking Ibrutinib pills which may block enzymes that cancer cells need to grow.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Ibrutinib can cause side effects such as diarrhea, bleeding problems, high blood pressure, infections due to low white blood cell count, fatigue and muscle aches. Some people might also experience heart rhythm problems.
