Brief Summary
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of alisertib and bortezomib when given together with rituximab in treating patients with mantle cell lymphoma or B-cell low grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Alisertib and bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving alisertib and bortezomib together with rituximab may be a better treatment for relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma or B-cell low grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Recommended phase II dose of alisertib when combined with bortezomib and rituximab, defined as the highest dose level at which < 33% of the dose cohort experience a dose limiting toxicity (DLT)
Graded using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. Toxicities will be described by intensity at each dose level.
21 days
Recommended phase II dose of bortezomib when combined with alisertib and rituximab, defined as the highest dose level at which < 33% of the dose cohort experience a dose limiting toxicity (DLT)
Graded using the NCI CTCAE version 5.0. Toxicities will be described by intensity at each dose level.
21 days
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Overall response rate (ORR) (complete response and partial response)
Up to 30 days post-treatment
Progression free survival (PFS)
From time of study entry to the first documentation of tumor progression or death due to any cause, whichever comes first, assessed up to 30 days post-treatment
Duration of response (DOR)
From time of documentation of a response to treatment to the first documentation of documentation of tumor progression or death due to any cause whichever comes first, assessed up to 30 days post-treatment
Overall survival
From time of randomization to the date of death due to any cause, assessed up to 30 days post-treatment
Other Outcomes (1)
Aurora A expression measured from patient biopsy specimens
Up to day 8 (course 1)
Study Arms (1)
Treatment (alisertib, bortezomib, and rituximab)
EXPERIMENTALPatients receive alisertib PO BID on days 1-7; bortezomib SC on days 1, 8, and 15; and rituximab IV on day 1. Treatment repeats every 28 days\* in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Note: \*After 8 courses, treatment with rituximab repeats once every 3 courses (12 weeks) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients must have histologically confirmed relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma or low grade B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL); patients with evidence of transformation to a high grade histology will not be eligible
- Measurable or evaluable disease, as defined in 2008 Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma; baseline scans used for measurement should be obtained within 30 days of registration, and baseline bone marrow biopsy and/or aspiration should be obtained with 90 days of registration
- Patients may have received one or more lines of prior chemotherapy with/without rituximab (including high dose therapy plus stem cell transplant which is counted as one regimen); prior bortezomib is allowed; patients must not have received bortezomib in the past 6 months
- Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who are not receiving cytochrome p450 inhibitors, and who have a minimum of 300+ CD4+ cells/mm\^3, an undetectable viral load, and no history of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) indicator conditions
- Patients must be able to take oral medication and to maintain a fast as required for 2 hours before and 1 hour after MLN8237 administration
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0, 1, or 2 (Karnofsky \>= 60%)
- Leukocytes \>= 3,000/mcL (obtained within 30 days of registration)
- Absolute neutrophil count \>= 1,500/mcL (obtained within 30 days of registration)
- Platelets \>= 75,000/mcL or \>= 50,000/mcL with documented bone marrow involvement (obtained within 30 days of registration)
- Total bilirubin within normal institutional limits (may be elevated if direct bilirubin normal) (obtained within 30 days of registration)
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase \[SGPT\]) \< 3 X institutional upper limit of normal (obtained within 30 days of registration)
- Creatinine within normal institutional limits OR creatinine clearance \>= 60 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal (obtained within 30 days of registration)
- Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation; should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately; men treated on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and 4 months after completion of MLN8237 administration
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
You may not qualify if:
- Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 4 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C, 3 weeks for rituximab) prior to entering the study or those who have not recovered from adverse events due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier
- Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents
- Patients with known brain metastases should be excluded from this clinical trial
- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to MLN8237, bortezomib or rituximab
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements

- HIV-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy which include cytochrome p450 inhibitors are ineligible; patients with CD4 counts less than 300 CD4+ cells/mm\^3 and or a high viral load are ineligible
- Grade 2 or greater neuropathy
- The following agents are not permitted while patients are taking MLN8237, and should be discontinued at prior to registration if patients are taking them:
