Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn how PCI-32765 (ibrutinib) may affect the life cycle of blood-cancer cells. Cancer cells will be "labeled" with heavy water to learn about their birth rates and death rates.

Ibrutinib is a type of drug called a kinase inhibitor. Kinases are proteins inside cells that help cells live and grow. The study drug is designed to inhibit or "block" the activity of a type of kinase that helps blood-cancer cells live and grow. By blocking the activity of this specific kinase, it is possible that the study drug may kill the cancer cells or stop them from growing.

Heavy water (2H2O) is a special type of water that is designed to help researchers learn how quickly cancer cells in the body reproduce.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Heavy Water (2H2O)

50 ml 70% 2H2O 3 times a day for the first 5 days followed by 60 ml daily for a total of 4 weeks. After the 5-day loading period, a 60 ml maintenance dose of 2H2O will be drunk at bedtime. At end of the 4th week, subjects stop drinking 2H2O (washout phase) and be followed from 6-12 weeks until beginning treatment with PCI-32765.

DRUG

PCI-32765

420 mg orally once daily.
