Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer treatment drug, PCI-32765, to see if it can treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma in elderly people and people with 17p deletion.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma. It's specifically for those over 65, or at least 18 with a genetic abnormality called 17p deletion. Participants must be able to swallow capsules and agree to use contraception if they can have children.
What is being tested?
The trial tests PCI-32765, a new drug for treating CLL/SLL in older patients and those with the 17p deletion who often don't do well on standard treatments. Patients take daily capsules for six cycles and may continue if beneficial without severe side effects.
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly listed, potential side effects of PCI-32765 could include typical reactions to cancer medications such as nausea, fatigue, blood count changes, liver or kidney function issues based on exclusion criteria related to organ functions.
