1 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This phase II trial studies how well ibrutinib and rituximab work in treating patients with mantle cell lymphoma that has come back or has not responded to treatment or older patients with newly diagnosed mantle cell lymphoma. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may find cancer cells and help kill them. Giving ibrutinib and rituximab may be an effective treatment for mantle cell lymphoma.
