Optimizing Post-allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Outcomes for Lymphoma Using Ibrutinib

This phase II trial studies how well ibrutinib works in treating patients after a donor stem
cell transplant for lymphoma that is not responding to treatment or has come back. Ibrutinib
may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To study the use of ibrutinib starting between day 60 and day 90 after allogeneic
hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) until 12 months post hematopoietic cell transplant to
improve the progression-free survival (PFS) at 12 months post hematopoietic cell transplant
by 25% compared to historical controls.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To increase the incidence of successful outcome (defined as lack of requirement of second
line therapy for acute graft-versus-host disease, lack of National Institutes of Health [NIH]
severe chronic graft-versus-host disease, lack of progression or relapse of chronic
lymphocytic leukemia/mantle cell lymphoma [MCL], lack of death from disease or non-relapse
causes) to at least 60% at 1 year post hematopoietic cell transplant. (Cohort A) II. To study
the safety and tolerability of ibrutinib post hematopoietic cell transplant in patients with
non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and Hodgkin lymphoma. (Cohort A and B combined) III. To study the
incidence of grade 3-4 acute graft-versus-host disease in the first 6 months post
hematopoietic cell transplant in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma.
(Cohort A and B combined) IV. To study the incidence of second line therapy (systemic only)
for acute graft-versus-host disease in the first 6 months post hematopoietic cell transplant
in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma. (Cohort A and B combined) V. To
study the incidence of recurrent acute graft-versus-host disease in the first 6 months post
hematopoietic cell transplant in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma.
(Cohort A and B combined) VI. To study the incidence and severity of chronic
graft-versus-host disease in the first 12 months post hematopoietic cell transplant in
patients with not-Hodgkin lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma. (Cohort A and B combined) VII. To
study the incidence of lung involvement with graft-versus-host disease in the first 12 months
post hematopoietic cell transplant in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Hodgkin
lymphoma. (Cohort A and B combined) VIII. To study the incidence of sclerotic skin chronic
graft-versus-host disease in the first 12 months post hematopoietic cell transplant in
patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma. (Cohort A and B combined) IX. To
study the incidence of infectious deaths not related to graft-versus-host disease in patients
with non-Hodgkin and Hodgkin lymphoma. (Cohort A and B combined)

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To study the association of minimal residual disease (MRD) as detected by immunoglobulin
heavy chain (IgH) sequencing prior to starting ibrutinib and compare to post ibrutinib at
month 6, 9 and 12 after HCT. (Cohort A)

II. To study the impact of onset of new acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease on minimal
residual disease. (Cohort A)

III. To study the association of T-cell clonality by T cell receptor (TCR) Vb sequencing
prior to starting ibrutinib and compare to post ibrutinib at month 6, 9 and 12 after
hematopoietic cell transplant. (Cohort A)

IV. To study the impact of onset of new acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease on T cell
receptor sequencing. (Cohort A)

V. To study the association of B cell receptor signaling pathways and immune function with
response by single cell mass cytometry prior to starting ibrutinib and compare to post
ibrutinib at month 6, 9 and 12 after hematopoietic cell transplant. (Cohort A)

VI. To study the association of single cell mass cytometry that investigates B cell receptor
signaling and its association with new acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease on B-cell
receptor (BCR) signaling. (Cohort A)

OUTLINE:

Beginning between 60-90 days post donor stem cell transplant, patients receive ibrutinib
orally (PO) once daily (QD) until 1 year post donor stem cell transplant in the absence of
disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of treatment, patients are followed up for 1 year.
