• Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must use one reliable form of contraception or have complete abstinence from heterosexual intercourse during the following time periods related to this study: 1) while participating in the study; and 2) for at least 90 days after discontinuation from the study. FCBP must be referred to a qualified provider of contraceptive methods if needed. FCBP must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening.

• Men must agree to use a latex condom during treatment and for up to 90 days after the last dose of ibrutinib or venetoclax during sexual contact with a FCBP

• Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

• Exclusion Criteria

• Participants who exhibit any of the following conditions at screening will not be eligible for admission into the study:

• Participants who have one or more prior systemic therapies for WM.

• Participants who are receiving any other investigational agents.

• Participants with known CNS lymphoma.

• Participants with known history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C (HCV) requiring active treatment. Note: Participants with serologic evidence of prior vaccination to HBV (i.e., HBs Ag-, and anti-HBs+ and anti-HBC-) and positive anti-HBc from IVIG may participate.

• Vaccinated with live, attenuated vaccines within 4 weeks of first dose of study drug.

• Recent infection requiring systemic treatment that was completed ≤ 14 days before the first dose of the study drug.

• Known bleeding disorders (e.g., congenital von Willebrand's disease or hemophilia)

• History of stroke or intracranial hemorrhage within 6 months prior to enrollment.

• Major surgery within 4 weeks of first dose of study drug.

• Malabsorption syndrome or other condition that precludes enteral route of administration.

• Female participants who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant while enrolled in this study or within 90 days of last dose of study drug.

• Male participants who plan to father a child while enrolled in this study or within 90 days after the last dose of study drug

• Participants with known history of alcohol or drug abuse.

• Participants with inability to swallow pills.

• On any active therapy for other malignancies with the exception of topical therapies for basal cell or squamous cell cancers of the skin.

• Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.

• Participants with a history of non-compliance to medical regimens.

• Participants who are unwilling or unable to comply with the protocol.
