Myelodysplastic Syndrome Clinical Trial
Ibrutinib and Lenalidomide in Treating Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome
Summary
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ibrutinib when giving together with lenalidomide in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as lenalidomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving ibrutinib and lenalidomide may work better in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome.
Full Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
To determine the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) for ibrutinib in combination with lenalidomide in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
To do an early assessment of the activity of the combination of ibrutinib and lenalidomide in patients with MDS.
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
To examine the pharmacodynamic and biological effects of the combination of ibrutinib and lenalidomide in MDS.

Karnofsky performance status (KPS) performance status of 60% or greater
Ability to understand and willingness to sign an informed consent form
Ability to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements
Female subjects who are of non-reproductive potential (i.e., post-menopausal by history - no menses for >= 1 year; OR history of hysterectomy; OR history of bilateral tubal ligation; OR history of bilateral oophorectomy); or, female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test upon study entry
Male and female subjects who agree to use highly effective methods of birth control (e.g., condoms, implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some intrauterine devices [IUDs], sexual abstinence, or sterilized partner) during the period of therapy and for 30 days after the last dose of study drug
Females of reproductive potential must adhere to the scheduled pregnancy testing as required in the Revlimid Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS) program
All study participants must be registered into the mandatory Revlimid REMS program, and be willing and able to comply with the requirements of the REMS program
Eligibility of patients receiving any medications or substances known to affect or with the potential to affect the activity or pharmacokinetics of ibrutinib or ability to adhere to the Revlimid REMS program will be determined following review of their case by the principal investigator
Exclusion Criteria:
Anticancer therapy including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, hormonal or any investigational therapy within 14 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to first dose of study drug; hydroxyurea is permitted up to the day before initiation of study treatment
Prior allogeneic (allo)-hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) less than three months from the time of enrollment
Acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) or active chronic GVHD greater than grade 1
Concurrent systemic immunosuppressant therapy (e.g., cyclosporine A, tacrolimus, etc., or chronic administration [> 14 days] of > 60 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent) within 28 days of the first dose of study drug
History of allergy to or intolerance of ibrutinib or lenalidomide
Vaccinated with live, attenuated vaccines within 4 weeks of first dose of study drug
Recent culture-documented infection requiring systemic intravenous treatment that was completed =< 7 days before the first dose of study drug or any uncontrolled active systemic infection; fever of unknown origin is not an exclusion criterion, as this may be disease-related
Unresolved toxicities from prior anti-cancer therapy, defined as having not resolved to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Event (CTCAE, version 4.03), grade 2 or less, or to the levels dictated in the inclusion/exclusion criteria with the exception of alopecia
Known bleeding disorders (e.g., von Willebrand's disease) or hemophilia
History of stroke or intracranial hemorrhage within 3 months prior to enrollment
Active infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) or hepatitis B virus (HBV); subjects who are positive for hepatitis B core antibody, hepatitis B surface antigen, or hepatitis C antibody must have a negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) result before enrollment; those who are PCR positive will be excluded; subjects with HIV must have a CD4 count at or above the institutional lower limit of normal and not taking prohibited CYP3A strong inhibitors
Major surgery within 4 weeks of first dose of study drug
Any life-threatening illness, medical condition, or organ system dysfunction, including but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, active autoimmune disorder, or psychiatric illness/social situations that, in the investigator's opinion, could compromise the subject's safety or put the study outcomes at undue risk
History of other malignancies, except for malignancy surgically resected (or treated with other modalities) with curative intent, adequately treated in situ carcinoma of the breast or cervix uteri, basal cell carcinoma of the skin or localized squamous cell carcinoma of the skin
Concomitant use of warfarin or other vitamin K antagonists
