Lenalidomide, Ibrutinib, and Rituximab in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma That Is Metastatic or Cannot Be Removed by Surgery

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide when given together with ibrutinib and rituximab in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma that has come back (relapsed), has not responded well to prior treatments (refractory), has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic), or cannot be removed by surgery. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, use substances made from living organisms that may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving lenalidomide together with ibrutinib and rituximab may kill more cancer cells.

Testing the Effectiveness of the Anti-cancer Drug, Mirdametinib, in Treating Relapsed, Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

This phase II trial tests the effect of mirdametinib in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Mirdametinib, a methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) inhibitor, works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This may help slow or stop the spread of cancer cells. Giving mirdametinib may be effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory CLL or SLL.

Acalabrutinib and Venetoclax With or Without Early Obinutuzumab for the Treatment of High Risk, Recurrent, or Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma

This phase II trial studies how well acalabrutinib and venetoclax with or without early obinutuzumab work for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma that is high risk, has come back (recurrent), or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Acalabrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Venetoclax may stop the growth cancer cells by blocking BCL-2 protein needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as obinutuzumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving acalabrutinib and venetoclax together with early obinutuzumab may improve clinical outcomes and control the disease.

Venetoclax and Ibrutinib in Treating Patients With Chronic or Small Lymphocytic Leukemia

This phase II trial studies how well venetoclax and ibrutinib work in treating patients with chronic or small lymphocytic leukemia. Venetoclax may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving venetoclax and ibrutinib may help control chronic or small lymphocytic leukemia.

B-Cell Activating Factor Receptor (BAFFR)-Based Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cells With Fludarabine and Cyclophosphamide Lymphodepletion for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory B-cell Hematologic Malignancies

This phase I trial tests safety, side effects and best dose of B-cell activating factor receptor (BAFFR)-based chimeric antigen receptor T-cells, with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide lymphodepletion, for the treatment of patients with B-cell hematologic malignancies that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). BAFFR-based chimeric antigen receptor T-cells is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. T cells are taken from a patient's blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein on the patient's cancer cells is added to the T cells in the laboratory. The special receptor is called a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). Large numbers of the CAR T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. Giving chemotherapy, such as fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, helps ill cancer cells in the body and helps prepare the body to receive the BAFFR based chimeric antigen receptor T-cells. Giving BAFFR based chimeric antigen receptor T-cells with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide for lymphodepletion may work better for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell hematologic malignancies.

Intermittent Duvelisib Dosing in Treating Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma

This phase II trial studies how well duvelisib on an intermittent (irregular) dosing schedule works in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma. Duvelisib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving duvelisib on an intermittent schedule may result in similar effectiveness with less amount of severe side effects.

A Phase I/II Study to Evaluate the Safety of Cellular Immunotherapy Using Autologous T Cells Engineered to Express a CD20-Specific Chimeric Antigen Receptor for Patients With Relapsed or Refractory B Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas

The purpose of this research is to find the best dose of genetically modified T-cells, to study the safety of this treatment, and to see how well it works in treating patients with B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or did not respond to previous treatment (refractory).

Anti-CD19/20/22 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells (TriCAR19.20.22 T Cells) for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects and best dose of anti-CD19/20/22 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells (TriCAR19.20.22 T cells) and how well they work in treating patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). CAR T-cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. T cells are taken from a patient's blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein, such as CD19, CD20 and CD22, on the patient's cancer cells is added to the T cells in the laboratory. The special receptor is called a CAR. Large numbers of the CAR T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. Giving TriCAR19.20.22 T cells may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma, ALL and CLL.

Pevonedistat and Ibrutinib in Treating Participants With Relapsed or Refractory CLL or Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of pevonedistat when given together with ibrutinib in participants with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back or has stopped responding to other treatments. Pevonedistat and ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Sonrotoclax, Rituximab, and Zanubrutinib in Treating Participants With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma, and Mantle Cell Lymphoma

This phase II trial studies the side effects of an escalated ramp-up of sonrotoclax following initial debulking with zanubrutinib or rituximab in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) that is newly diagnosed, has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to a protein called CD20, which is found on B-cells, and may kill tumor cells. Zanubrutinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking a protein called Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), which is needed for tumor cell growth. Sonrotoclax works by blocking a protein called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2). This protein helps certain types of blood tumor cells to survive and grow. When sonrotoclax blocks Bcl-2 it slows down or stops the growth of tumor cells and helps them die. Giving an increased dose of sonrotoclax over a shorter period of time in combination with zanubrutinib or rituximab may be safe and tolerable in treating patients with newly diagnosed, relapsed or refractory CLL, SLL, and MCL.

Acalabrutinib in Combination With Venetoclax for the Treatment of Refractory or Recurrent Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma, The AVENUE-2 Trial

This phase II trial is to evaluate the effects of acalabrutinib in combination with venetoclax in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma that does not respond to treatment (refractory) or that has come back (recurrent). Acalabrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as venetoclax, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Given acalabrutinib and venetoclax may kill more cancer cells.

Ibrutinib With or Without Rituximab in Treating Patients With Relapsed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

This phase II trial studies ibrutinib with or without rituximab in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia that has come back after treatment. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether ibrutinib is more effective with or without rituximab in treating chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Nivolumab for Relapsed, Refractory, or Detectable Disease Post Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell Treatment in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies

This phase II trial studies how well nivolumab works for the treatment of hematological malignancies that have come back (relapsed), does not respond (refractory), or is detectable after CAR T cell therapy. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

Q702 for the Treatment of Patients With Hematologic Malignancies

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of Q702 in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. Q702 is in a class of medications called immunomodulatory agents. It works by helping the immune system kill cancer cells and by helping the bone marrow to produce normal blood cells. Giving Q702 may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with hematologic malignancies.

Cellular Immunotherapy Following Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Recurrent Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, or B-Cell Prolymphocytic Leukemia

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of cellular immunotherapy following chemotherapy in treating patients with non-Hodgkin lymphomas, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, or B-cell prolymphocytic leukemia that has come back. Placing a modified gene into white blood cells may help the body build an immune response to kill cancer cells.

Modified Immune Cells (CD19/CD20 CAR-T Cells) in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory B-Cell Lymphoma or Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of CD19/CD20 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells when given together with chemotherapy, and to see how effective they are in treating patients with non-Hodgkin's B-cell lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia that has come back (recurrent) or has not responded to treatment (refractory). In CAR-T cell therapy, a patient's white blood cells (T cells) are changed in the laboratory to produce an engineered receptor that allows the T cell to recognize and respond to CD19 and CD20 proteins. CD19 and CD20 are commonly found on non-Hodgkin?s B-cell lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells. Chemotherapy drugs such as fludarabine phosphate and cyclophosphamide can control cancer cells by killing them, by preventing their growth, or by stopping them from spreading. Combining CD19/CD20 CAR-T cells and chemotherapy may help treat patients with recurrent or refractory B-cell lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

CD19-Directed CAR-T Cell Therapy for the Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory B Cell Malignancies

This phase I trial studies the effects of CD-19 directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy for the treatment of patients with B cell malignancies that have come back (recurrent) or have not responded to treatment (refractory). CD-19 CAR-T cells use some of a patient's own immune cells, called T cells, to kill cancer. T cells fight infections and, in some cases, can also kill cancer cells. Some T cells are removed from the blood, and then laboratory, researchers will put a new gene into the T cells. This gene allows the T cells to recognize and possibly treat cancer. The new modified T cells are called the IC19/1563 treatment. IC19/1563 may help treat patients with relapsed/refractory B cell malignancies.

Genetically Engineered Cells (Anti-CD19/CD20/CD22 CAR T-cells) for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Lymphoid Malignancies

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects and best infusion dose of genetically engineered cells called anti-CD19/CD20/CD22 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells following a short course of chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine in treating patients with lymphoid cancers (malignancies) that have come back (recurrent) or do not respond to treatment (refractory). Lymphoid malignancies eligible for this trial are: non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and B-prolymphocytic leukemia (B-PLL). T-cells (a type of white blood cell) form part of the body's immune system. CAR-T is a type of cell therapy that is used with gene-based therapies. CAR T-cells are made by taking a patient's own T-cells and genetically modifying them with a virus so that they are recognized by a group of proteins called CD19/CD20/CD22 which are found on the surface of cancer cells. Anti-CD19/CD20/CD22 CAR T-cells can recognize CD19/CD20/CD22, bind to the cancer cells and kill them. Giving combination chemotherapy helps prepare the body before CAR T-cell therapy. Giving CAR-T after cyclophosphamide and fludarabine may kill more tumor cells.
