Change in Leukemia Cell Death Primary · every three months, up to one year

Stable isotopic labeling with deuterated water (2\^H2O) to measure directly the effects of PCI-32765 (ibrutinib) on leukemia cell death in the peripheral blood of participants .

Percentage of Recently Born Leukemia Cells Mobilized Into the Blood by PCI-32765 Treatment Secondary · every three months, up to one year

Measurement of the fraction of recently born versus older leukemia cells in the peripheral blood of participants before and during PCI-32765 therapy, to determine the effects of PCI-32765 (ibrutinib) therapy on the birth rates of the leukemia cells.

Sponsor's own description

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.
