Study of Ibrutinib in Relapsed and Refractory T-cell Lymphoma

Inclusion Criteria:

Pathology confirmed relapsed or refractory T-cell lymphoma (PTCL and stage >IBCTCL) at treating institution
Relapse or progression after at least 1 systemic therapy
Age ≥18 years at the time of signing the informed consent form
Able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements
Previous systemic anti-cancer therapy must have been discontinued at least 3 weeks prior to treatment in this study. If there is progression of disease on that therapy and all adverse effects have resolved to Grade 1 or baseline, in which case 2 weeks is acceptable
Previous radiation, hormonal therapy, and surgery must have been discontinued at least 2 weeks prior to treatment in this study and adverse effects must have resolved. Lymph node or other diagnostic biopsy within 2 weeks is not considered exclusionary
Systemic corticosteroids are permissible in the following circumstances:
Short course systemic corticosteroids for disease control, improvement of performance status or non-cancer indication (≤ 7 days) must have been discontinued at least 7 days prior to study treatment.
Ongoing administration of a stable dose of corticosteroid therapy (previously received for ≥ 30 days) is permissible provided there is evidence of measurable disease and there will be no increase in steroid dose during the clinical trial
ECOG performance status of ≤ 2 at study entry
Patients who have undergone autologous stem cell transplant > 6 months prior are eligible
Patients who have undergone allogeneic stem cell transplant > 12 months, without active graft-versus-host-disease, and not on immunosuppression for prevention of graft-versus-host disease are eligible
Laboratory test results within these range:
Adequate hematologic function with screening laboratory assessment defined as:
Absolute neutrophil count >1,000 cells/mm3 (1.0 x 10^9/L)
Platelet count >75,000 cells/mm3 (75 x 10^9/L), if thrombocytopenia is due to bone marrow involvement platelet count must be ≥ 50,000 cells/mm3
Hemoglobin >8.0 g/dL
Adequate hepatic and renal function with screening laboratory assessment defined as:

Serum aspartate transaminase (AST) or alanine transaminase (ALT)

≤2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)

Creatinine <2.0 x ULN or Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate GFR [Cockcroft-Gault] > 30 mL/min.
Bilirubin <1.5 x ULN [unless bilirubin rise is due to Gilbert's syndrome (as defined by >80% unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia) or of nonhepatic origin]
Females of childbearing potential (FCBP)† must have a negative serum pregnancy test and agree to use appropriate methods of birth control

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients who have a standard curative option for their lymphoid malignancy at current state of disease are excluded. For eligibility on this trial, allogeneic stem cell transplantation is not considered a standard curative option
Concurrent systemic immunosuppressant therapy (eg, cyclosporine A, tacrolimus, etc.) within 28 days of the first dose of study drug
Recent infection requiring intravenous anti-infective treatment that was completed ≤14 days before the first dose of study drug
Known bleeding diathesis (eg, von Willebrand's disease) or hemophilia
Treatment with warfarin or other Vitamin K antagonists (eg, phenprocoumon)
Any life-threatening illness, medical condition, or organ system dysfunction that, in the opinion of the investigator, could compromise the subject's safety or put the study outcomes at undue risk
Unwilling or unable to participate in all required study evaluations and procedures.
Unable to understand the purpose and risks of the study and to provide a signed and dated informed consent form (ICF)
Currently active, clinically significant cardiovascular disease, such as uncontrolled arrhythmia 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 enrollment
Unable to swallow capsules, malabsorption syndrome, disease significantly affecting gastrointestinal function, resection of the stomach or small bowel, symptomatic inflammatory bowel disease or ulcerative colitis, or partial or complete bowel obstruction
Pregnant females (Lactating females must agree not to breast feed while taking ibrutinib
Prior use of ibrutinib
Known seropositive and requiring anti-viral therapy for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) defined by PCR.
Active concurrent malignancy requiring active therapy
Known central nervous system or meningeal involvement (in the absence of symptoms investigation into central nervous system involvement is not required)
Patients who require treatment with a strong cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A inhibitor
