A Phase 1/2 interventional study of Venetoclax and Ibrutinib in Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma, sponsored by National Cancer Institute (NCI). Recruiting at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 120 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-22.
Sponsored by National Cancer Institute (NCI) · Phase 1/2, Interventional, and Treatment
Background:
B-cell lymphoma is a cancer of white blood cells found in the lymph nodes. It affects the system that fights infections and disease. Researchers want to learn how certain drugs work together to treat B-cell lymphomas. The drugs are venetoclax, ibrutinib, prednisone, obinutuzumab, and lenalidomide (ViPOR).
Objective:
To study the safety of ViPOR for people with B-cell lymphoma.
Eligibility:
People ages 18 and older with B-cell lymphoma whose cancer has returned or not improved after treatment
Design:
Participants will be screened with:
Participants will have a bone marrow aspiration before treatment.
Participants may have tumor samples taken.
Participants will get ViPOR in 21-day cycles. For up to 6 cycles:
Participants will keep a drug diary.
Participants will have a physical exam and blood and urine tests at least once per cycle. They will have scans 4 times over 6 cycles.
Participants will have a visit about 1 month after their last dose of study drug. They will then have visits every few months for 3 years, and once a year for years 4 and 5. Visits include a physical exam, blood tests, and scans....
Background:
Combination chemotherapy with Rituximab has been the mainstay of treatment for CD20-positive B-cell lymphomas
Significant advances have been made in curing aggressive B-cell lymphomas with chemoimmunotherapy but indolent lymphomas and relapsed/refractory aggressive lymphomas remain mostly incurable with chemotherapy alone
Targeted therapies aimed at disrupting key survival pathways in lymphoid malignancies are emerging and showing significant activity in NHL in both the relapsed and first-line settings
Mechanistically-based combinations of targeted agents are likely to benefit patients who cannot tolerate or who relapse after or are refractory to standard chemoimmunotherapy
ViPOR targets major survival pathways in B-cell lymphomas including BCL-2 (apoptosis); BTK (B-cell receptor signaling and NFKB); Cereblon (NFKB) and CD20.
Objectives:
Phase 1b: To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the safety and toxicity profile of the combination of Venetoclax, Ibrutinib, Prednisone, Obinutuzumab and Revlimid(R) (ViPOR) in relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies
Phase 2: To determine the overall response rate (ORR) and complete response (CR) rate of ViPOR in relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies
Eligibility:
Women and men greater than or equal 18 years of age
ECOG performance status of less than or equal to 2
Histologically or cytologically confirmed relapsed and/or refractory B-cell lymphoma, excluding CLL/SLL. NOTE: untreated and relapsed and/or refractory MCL are included in the phase 2 MCL expansion.
Adequate organ function unless dysfunction secondary to lymphoma effect
Design:
Open-label, single-center, non-randomized phase 1b/2 study
Phase 1b: Standard 3 + 3 design will be used to determine the MTD of dose-escalated venetoclax with fixed dose ibrutinib, prednisone, obinutuzumab and Revlimid(R) (ViPOR) in relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies
Phase 2: Expansion cohorts of aggressive and indolent non-MCL patients and MCL patients will be treated at the MTD to determine the ORR and CR rate in these subtypes.
Maximum 6 cycles of combination targeted therapy every 21 days
To explore all dose levels in both non-MCL and MCL patient cohorts in the phase 1b study, and to assess the ORR and CR rate in aggressive and indolent non-MCL and MCL patient cohorts in a phase 2 dose expansion at the MTD, the accrual ceiling will be set at 155 patients.
Phase1b
Aggressive B-cell lymphoma: includes DLBCL and subtypes, transformed lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, as well as High-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and/or BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangement(s).
-Indolent B-cell lymphoma:
CLL/SLL is excluded given alternative dosing of FDA-approved venetoclax for relapsed 17p CLL and increased risk of TLS with CLL/SLL compared to other non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
Phase 2
Relapsed and/or refractory disease on at least 1 prior treatment regimen, as follows:
Adequate organ and marrow function as defined below unless dysfunction is secondary to lymphoma:
Cr Cl will be calculated with the use of the 24-hour creatinine clearance or modified Cockcroft-Gault equation (eCCR; with the use of ideal body mass [IBM] instead of mass):
(140 - Age) x IBM (kg) x [0.85 if female]/ 72 x serum creatinine (mg/dL)
*RBC transfusions and use of G-CSF will be allowed in order to meet eligibility parameters.
For women of childbearing potential:
For men:
Pre-Treatment/During Treatment:
--All Drugs- Women- begins 28 days prior to treatment; Men- Begins on day 1
Post-Treatment:
Revlimid- Women-28 days; Men- 28 days
EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
The following restrictions apply to current or prior anti-cancer treatment, prior to the first dose of study drug:
Not recovered (i.e., less than or equal to Grade 1 or baseline) from adverse events due to previously administered anti-cancer treatment, surgery, or procedure. NOTE: Exceptions to this include events not considered to place the subject at unacceptable risk of participation in the opinion of the PI (e.g., alopecia).
NOTE: Moderate CYP3A inhibitors and inducers should be used with caution and an alternative medication used, whenever possible.
Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to the following that may limit interpretation of results or that could increase risk to the patient at the discretion of the investigator:
Clinically significant history of liver disease, including viral or other hepatitis, current alcohol abuse, or cirrhosis; as well as active infection with HBV or HCV:
--Patients who are positive for HCV antibody must be negative for HCV by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to be eligible for study participation
History of other active malignancy that could affect compliance with the protocol or interpretation of results
