A Clinical Trial of Buparlisib and Ibrutinib in Lymphoma

• Status: Active, not recruiting
• Trial end date: 2022-05-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out if the combination of buparlisib and ibrutinib will lead to better treatment results in patients with relapsed or refractory Follicular lymphoma, (FL) Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) or Diffuse Large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The investigators are using buparlisib and ibrutinib because both drugs seem to block different proteins that allow cancer cells to keep growing. Blocking these proteins may help by making the cancer cells undergo cell death, which will stop uncontrolled tumor growth.

• Patient has a concurrent active malignancy. Malignancies treated with a curative intent with an expected life expectancy ≥ 5 years or a non-competing life expectancy risk are eligible (i.e. adequately treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma, non-melanomatous skin cancer, early stage breast cancer, treated prostate cancer or any other cancer from which the patient has been disease free for >/= 3 years).
