Study Summary

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ibrutinib in treating B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has returned or does not respond to treatment in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether it is safe for patients with HIV infection to receive ibrutinib while also taking anti-HIV drugs.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Known HIV infection and histologically confirmed B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma or B-celllymphoproliferative disease as follows, as defined by the World Health Organizationclassification:

  • Note: Patients with CLL, SLL, or mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) may only be enrolledin Stratum C

  • At least 14 days between ibrutinib initiation and last cancer therapy; any number ofprior cancer therapies is permitted; patients otherwise fit for blood or marrowtransplantation (BMT) should receive second-line chemotherapy before consideringenrollment

  • Serologic documentation of HIV infection at any time prior to study entry, asevidenced by positive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), positive Westernblot, or any other federally approved licensed HIV test; alternatively, thisdocumentation may include a record that another physician has documented that theparticipant has HIV infection based on prior ELISA and Western blot, or other approveddiagnostic tests

  • Participants must be on a stable antiretroviral regimen per current InternationalAcquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) Society guidelines as follows, with nointention of changing the regimen within 8 weeks after ibrutinib initiation:

  • Choice of regimen: The specific antiretroviral agents are at physiciandiscretion, and the use of investigational agents currently available on anexpanded-access basis is allowed; use of experimental antiretroviral agents orthose containing zidovudine (including Combivir and Trizivir) is prohibited

  • All subjects must be screened for hepatitis B and C infection; subjects must eitherhave no history of hepatitis B or C, or must meet the following criteria in order to eeligible:

  • Hepatitis B: Subjects infected with hepatitis B must receive anti-hepatitis Btherapy; per Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and AmericanAssociation for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) guidelines, subjects thatshow no immunity, defined by the lack of hepatitis B surface antibody, and showevidence of chronic infection (i.e. hepatitis B surface antigen positive [HBsAg+], hepatitis B core antibody positive [HB core AB +], hepatitis B surfaceantibody negative [HBsAB-]) must be on anti-hepatitis B therapy throughout thestudy in order to be eligible; the exact hepatitis B therapy is at the discretionof the infection disease specialist or investigator; all patients diagnosed withhepatitis B must also meet the liver function test criteria listed above and haveno evidence of cirrhosis; however, all patients who present with acute hepatitisB, or who show normal transaminases but are HBsAg+ and immunoglobulin M positive (IgM+) for hepatitis B core antigen, are ineligible

  • Hepatitis C: Subjects, who are hepatitis C antibody positive, with or without apositive hepatitis C ribonucleic acid (RNA) level, must meet the liver functiontest criteria listed above and have no evidence of cirrhosis; patients diagnosedwith hepatitis C less than 6 months before enrollment will be considered to haveacute hepatitis C and will be ineligible unless the hepatitis C viral load isundetectable

  • Must in the opinion of the investigator be capable of complying with this protocol

  • Patients may not begin protocol therapy within 7 days of major surgery or within 3days of minor surgery

  • Willingness of sexually active subjects to use adequate contraception; both men andwomen of child-bearing potential treated or enrolled on this study must agree to useadequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence)before study entry, for the duration of study participation, and 4 months aftercompletion of ibrutinib; men who only have sex with other men do not need to usecontraception specifically for this study; (should a woman become pregnant or suspectshe is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she shouldinform her treating physician immediately)

Study Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of single-agent ibrutinib in combination with antiretroviral therapy (ART) specifically with respect to ibrutinib metabolism in HIV-infected patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell neoplasms.

II. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ibrutinib in this setting.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To characterize ibrutinib pharmacokinetics in relation to ART-cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily A, polypeptide 4 (CYP3A4) interactions.

II. To describe toxicity in relation to plasma concentrations of ibrutinib and its main metabolite.

III. To estimate objective response rate, clinical benefit, times to tumor response and progression, and 6-month and 1-year progression-free and overall survival.

IV. To describe changes in HIV viral load, immunologic parameters, and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) copy numbers in plasma and in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in relation to ibrutinib therapy.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive ibrutinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days.
