Official Title: Combination of Ibrutinib and Bortezomib Followed by Ibrutinib Maintenance to Treat Patients With Relapsed and Refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma; a Multicenter Phase I/II Tri
Brief Summary: Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) remains an incurable disease with frequent relapses and no standard therapeutic options in case of relapse. Prolongation of remissions or induction of longer remissions is therefore crucial. Recently, a synergistic increase in the proteasomal inhibition of ibrutinib in both bortezomib-sensitive and refractory MCL cells was shown. These findings, along with the reported single agent activities of both drugs and the non-overlapping toxicities, are the rationale to combine ibrutinib and bortezomib in MCL in this trial
