Serum monoclonal protein ≥ 0.5 g/dL
≥200 mg of monoclonal protein in the urine on 24 hour electrophoresis
Serum immunoglobulin free light chain (FLC): involved FLC ≥ 10 mg/dL (≥ 100 mg/L) AND abnormal serum immunoglobulin kappa to lambda free light chain ratio.
At least 1 prior therapy with demonstrated disease progression following the most recent line of treatment.

Progression of disease within 60 days of completion of last therapeutic regimen or the failure to achieve minimal response while on last treatment (according to IMWG).

• Patients should not have progressed on lenalidomide at a dose of more than 10mg

No prior treatment with ibrutinib or any other protein kinase inhibitory drug or drug targeting the b-cell receptor (BCR) signal transduction pathway.
Patients with prior daratumumab and allogeneic stem cell transplant are included.
PT/INR <1.5 x ULN and PTT (aPTT) <1.5 x ULN, except if on anticoagulation for medical reasons in which case INR should be ≤ 3

Adequate hematologic function independent of transfusion and growth factor support for at least 7 days prior to registration, with the exception of pegylated G-CSF (pegfilgrastim) and darbopoeitin which require at least 14 days prior to screen and enrollment defined as:

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1000/mm3 independent of growth factor support.
Transfusion independent platelet counts ≥75,000/mm3 (or ≥50,000/mm3 if bone marrow involvement is ≥50%).
Hemoglobin level ≥ 8 g/dL, independent of transfusion support.

Biochemical values must be within the following limits within 7 days prior to registration

Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN).
Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN (unless bilirubin rise is due to Gilbert's syndrome or of non-hepatic origin).
Serum creatinine ≤ 2 x ULN or GFR > 30 ml/min based on either the estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (Crockcoft Gault) or measured GFR from 24-hour urine sample. Study participants with GFR 30-50 ml/min will be treated according to manufacturer's instruction with lenalidomide 10mg rather than 25 mg.
Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent form (ICF).
Ability to adhere with the study visit schedule and other protocol procedures.
A negative pregnancy test will be required for all women of child bearing potential within 7 days prior to registration. Breast feeding is not permitted.

Fertility requirements

Female patients with child bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at least 7 days before starting treatment drugs.
Male subject must use an effective barrier method of contraception during the study and for 3 months following the last dose if sexually active with a female of childbearing potential.
Female patients must be either post-menopausal, free from menses ≥ 2yrs, surgically sterilized, willing to use two adequate barrier methods of contraception to prevent pregnancy, or agree to abstain from sexual activity starting from screening and for 90 days after lenalidomide treatment
Female patients of childbearing potential must agree to comply with the fertility and pregnancy test requirements dictated by the Rev-Assist program.
Willingness to provide blood and tissue samples for correlative research purposes

Exclusion Criteria:

Prior history of: Polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M-protein, and skin changes (POEMS) syndrome, osteosclerotic myeloma, Crow-Fukase syndrome, primary amyloidosis or plasma cell leukemia.
Radiotherapy within 21 days of registration. However, if the radiation portal was localized to single lesion or fracture site and covered by ≤ 5% of the bone marrow reserve (by investigator estimate), the subject may be enrolled irrespective of the end date of radiotherapy.

Prior chemotherapy:

Anthracyclines ≤ 21 days prior to registration.
High dose corticosteroids, immune modulatory drugs (thalidomide or lenalidomide), or proteasome inhibitors (bortezomib or carfilzomib) ≤ 14 days prior to registration.
No concomitant high dose corticosteroids (concurrent use of corticosteroids). EXCEPTION: Patients may be on chronic steroids (maximum dose 10 mg/day prednisone equivalent) if they are being given for disorders other than myeloma, i.e., adrenal insufficiency, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.
Currently active, clinically significant cardiovascular disease such as uncontrolled or symptomatic arrhythmias or Class 3 or 4 congestive heart failure as defined by the New York Heart Association Functional Classification; or a history of myocardial infarction, unstable angina, or acute coronary syndrome within 6 months prior to registration or baseline QTcF of > 470.
Unable to swallow capsules or disease significantly affecting gastrointestinal function, such as malabsorption syndrome, resection of the stomach or small bowel, or complete bowel obstruction.

History of prior malignancy, with the exception of the following:

Malignancy treated with curative intent and with no known active disease present for more than 3 years prior to registration and felt to be at low risk for recurrence by treating physician;
Adequately treated non melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna without current evidence of disease; or
Adequately treated breast or cervical carcinoma in situ without current evidence of disease.
Peripheral neuropathy Grade > 2 on clinical examination within 14 days prior to registration.
