a clinical trial of buparlisib and ibrutinib in lymphoma

Conditions: Lymphoma; Mantle Cell Lymphoma; Follicular Lymphoma; Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma

Summary: the purpose of this study is to find out if the combination of buparlisib and ibrutinib will lead to better treatment results in patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma, (fl) mantle cell lymphoma (mcl) or diffuse large b-cell lymphoma (dlbcl). the investigators are using buparlisib and ibrutinib because both drugs seem to block different proteins that allow cancer cells to keep growing. blocking these proteins may help by making the cancer cells undergo cell death, which will stop uncontrolled tumor growth.
