Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Ibrutinib + Rituximab

Participants will receive ibrutinib 420 milligram (mg) orally, once daily, from Day 1 of Week 1 until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity in combination with rituximab 375 milligram per square meter (mg/m^2) intravenously (IV) on Day 1 of Weeks 1 to 4 and Weeks 17 to 20.

Drug: Ibrutinib
Ibrutinib 420 mg will be administered orally.
Other Names:
  • PCI-32765
  • Drug: Rituximab
    Rituximab 375 mg/m^2 will be administered intravenously.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Overall Response Rate (ORR) - Assessed by Independent Review Committee (IRC) [Up to 3.7 years]

      The ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with complete response (CR), very good partial response (VGPR) or partial response (PR) by IRC assessment.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) [Up to 3.7 years]

      PFS is defined as duration from the date of initial dose of ibrutinib to the date of disease progression or death, whichever occurs first.

    2. Pharmacokinetics (PK) of Ibrutinib and its Metabolite PCI-45227 [Day 1 of Week 4]

      Plasma concentration of ibrutinib and its metabolite PCI-45227 will be reported.

    3. Prognostic Biomarkers Relative to Disease and/or Treatment [Predose (Week 1)]

      Blood samples will be collected for biomarker analysis that may include myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MYD88), and C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR-4), thought to be prognostic of disease and/or treatment.

    4. Number of Participants with Adverse Events [Up to 3.7 years]

      An adverse event is any untoward medical event that occurs in a participant administered an investigational product, and it does not necessarily indicate only events with clear causal relationship with the relevant investigational product
