4. uncontrolled or history of symptomatic arrhythmias (ie. sustained ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, Torsades de Pointes),
5. congestive heart failure or NYHA class ≥ 3,
6. myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to enrollment;
* (2) History of significant cerebrovascular events including stroke or intracranial hemorrhage within 6 months prior to enrollment
* (3) History of interstitial lung disease or non-infectious pneumonitis (excluding radiation induced), or severe/ debilitating pulmonary disease prior to enrollment
14. History of other active malignancies within 2 years prior to enrollment, with the exception of adequately treated in-situ carcinoma of cervix; localized basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of skin; or previous malignancy confined and treated locally (surgery or other modality) with curative intent.

16. Male patients are eligible if vasectomized or if they agree to the use of barrier contraception with highly effective methods during the study treatment period and for ≥ 90 days after the last dose of zanubrutinib or tislelizumab.
17. Major surgery within 4 weeks of the first dose of study drug
18. Vaccination with a live vaccine within 28 days prior to the first dose of study drug
19. Patient requires treatment with warfarin or other vitamin K antagonists
20. Severe or debilitating pulmonary disease (dyspnea at rest, significant shortness of breath, congestive obstructive pulmonary disease).
21. History of interstitial lung disease or noninfectious pneumonitis, except for those induced by radiation therapy.
22. Active and symptomatic fungal, bacterial, and/or viral infection; human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 seropositive status.
23. Any illness or condition that in the opinion of the investigator may affect safety of treatment or evaluation of any study endpoint.

Subjects with Sjögren's syndrome and psoriasis controlled with topical medication and subjects with positive serology, such as antinuclear antibodies or antithyroid antibodies should be evaluated for the presence of target organ involvement and potential need for systemic treatment but should otherwise be eligible.
25. A condition requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (\> 20 mg daily prednisone or equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days of study drug administration, except for primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) and secondary central nervous system lymphoma (SCNSL).
