A Phase II Trial of Ibrutinib in Newly Diagnosed Mantle Cell Lymphoma With Low-Risk Disease

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if ibrutinib can help to control mantle
cell lymphoma (MCL). The safety of this drug will also be studied.

Study Drug Administration:

Each study cycle is 28 days.

If participant is found to be eligible to take part in this study, participant will take
ibrutinib by mouth 1 time per day at the same time every day with 1 cup (about 8 ounces) of
water.

If participant misses a dose, participant can take it up to 6 hours after the time
participant would have taken it. If it is later than 6 hours, participant should skip the
dose and take participant's next dose at participant's usual time the next day.

Participant should return any unused study drug to all study visits.

Study Visits:

On Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of Cycle 1, participant's vital signs will be taken.

On Day 1 of every cycle:

- Participant will have a physical exam.

- Blood (about 2 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests. If participant can become
pregnant, this blood will also be used for a pregnancy test.

- Blood (about 2 teaspoons) will be drawn for biomarker testing. (Cycles 3 and 7 only)

On Day 1 of Cycle 3 and Cycle 7:

- Blood (about 2 teaspoons) will be drawn for biomarker testing.

- Participant will have a bone marrow biopsy and aspirate for biomarker testing.

Every other cycle starting in Cycle 3 and up to Cycle 8 (Cycles 3, 5, and 7) and then every 4
cycles after that starting in Cycle 9 (Cycles 9, 13, 17, and 21), participant will have a CT
scan to check the status of the disease.

At any time your doctor thinks it is needed, participant may have any of the following
procedures to check the status of the disease:

- PET/CT scan

- bone marrow biopsy

- colonoscopy/GI endoscopy with a core biopsy

If participant can become pregnant, and the doctor thinks it is needed, blood (about 1
teaspoon) or urine will be collected for a pregnancy test at any time while participant is on
study.

Length of Study:

Participant may continue taking the study drug for up to 3 years. Participant will no longer
be able to take the study drug if the disease gets worse, if intolerable side effects occur,
or if participant is unable to follow study directions.

Participation on the study will be over after the last follow-up phone call.

End-of-Treatment Visit:

Within 30 days after participant's last dose of the study drug:

- Participant will have a physical exam.

- Participant will have an EKG.

- Blood (about 2 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests and to check the status of the
disease. If participant is able to become pregnant, this blood sample will also be used
for a pregnancy test.

- Participant will have a PET/CT scan and chest x-ray to check the status of the disease.

- If the doctor thinks it is needed, participant may have an endoscopy with a biopsy; a
colonoscopy with a biopsy; and/or a bone marrow biopsy.

Long Term Follow Up Period:

Every 2 months for the first 6 months after the End-of-Treatment visit, then every 2-4 months
for 2 years, and then 4-6 months after 2 years, a member of the study staff will call
participant to ask about participant's health. These phone calls will take about 5 minutes
each time.

Participant's study data and results may be used by Pharmacyclics, its affiliates and its
collaborators (such as Janssen Biotech, Inc.) for research related to cancer.

This is an investigational study. Ibrutinib is FDA approved and commercially available for
the treatment of several types of cancer. Its use in treating MCL is investigational. The
study doctor can explain how the study drug is designed to work.

Up to 30 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Confirmed diagnosis of MCL with CD20 and cyclin D1 positivity in tissue biopsy.
Patients must have never received any prior therapy for their disease. Patients have
been observed for 3 - 6 months with no progression as per imaging assessments.

2. Low risk disease (without the following risk factors: Blastoid variant histology,
Pleomorphic variant histology, Ki-67 >/= 50%, High-risk MCL International Prognostic
Index (MIPI), Bulky tumors >3 cm, Presence of B symptoms)

3. Understand and voluntarily sign an institutional review board (IRB)-approved informed
consent form.

4. Age >/= 18 years at the time of signing the informed consent.

5. Patients should in general have bi-dimensional measurable disease with their biggest
tumor less than or equal to 3 cm. [bone marrow or gastrointestinal (GI) only
involvement is acceptable].

6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 2 or less

7. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1000/mm^3, platelet count >100,000/mm^3. Patients
who have bone marrow infiltration by MCL are eligible if their ANC is >/= than 500 or
their platelet level is >/= than 50,000 /mm^3. Platelet transfusions are allowed.

8. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) and
alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) < 3 x upper
limit of normal or < 5 x upper limit of normal if hepatic metastases are present.
Serum bilirubin <1.5 mg/dl and creatinine (Cr) Clearance >/= 30 mL/min.

9. Disease free of prior malignancies of equal to or greater than 6 months with exception
of currently treated basal cell, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma "in
situ" of the cervix or breast, or other malignancies in remission (including prostate
cancer patients in remission from radiation therapy, surgery or brachytherapy), not
actively being treated. Patients must be willing to receive transfusions of blood
products.

10. Willing and able to participate in all study related procedures and therapy including
swallowing capsules without difficulty and having a screening core biopsy.

11. Female subjects who are of non-reproductive potential (ie, post-menopausal by history

diabetes mellitus, active/symptomatic coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD), renal failure, splenomegaly, leukemic features, active
