Summary

This trial will test a new drug combo for people with B-cell NHL or CLL. The new drug, TGR-1202, will be given at different doses to see what is safe and works best. Pembrolizumab will also be given along with TGR-1202.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with relapsed/refractory B-cell NHL or CLL who've had at least one prior standard therapy can join. They must have measurable disease, be able to consent, and have good organ function and performance status. Women of childbearing potential must use birth control, as should men.
What is being tested?
The trial tests TGR-1202 in two doses (600mg or 800mg daily) for six weeks followed by pembrolizumab every three weeks for eight cycles. The study uses a '3+3 design' to find the safest dose that shows benefits while minimizing early toxicities.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to immune system activation such as inflammation in various organs, infusion-related reactions, fatigue, liver enzyme elevation, blood count changes and increased risk of infections.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: TGR-1202 and pembrolizumabExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
All patients will receive TGR-1202 and pembrolizumab. Patients will start receiving TGR-1202 daily for 6 weeks (2 cycles). Pembrolizumab will be given every 3 weeks for 8 cycles. If the daily dose of TGR-1202 (dose level 1) is tolerated in the first cohort the dose will be increased which is the only and final dose escalation. If TGR-1202 is not tolerated the dose will be decreased.
