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.
