Brief Summary

This phase II trial studies how well ibrutinib, fludarabine phosphate, cyclophosphamide, and obinutuzumab work in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as obinutuzumab, may induce changes in the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving ibrutinib, fludarabine phosphate, cyclophosphamide, and obinutuzumab together may work better in treating chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Conditions

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia; Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Efficacy of the combination of ibrutinib, fludarabine phosphate, cyclophosphamide, and obinutuzumab defined as achievement of complete remission/complete remission with incomplete marrow recovery and bone marrow minimal residual disease-negative status

  Simon's optimal two-stage design will be employed. The proportion of patients achieving complete remission/complete remission with incomplete marrow recovery and bone marrow minimal residual disease-negative will be estimated along with the 95% confidence interval.

  After 84 days (3 cycles) of ibrutinib, fludarabine phosphate, cyclophosphamide, obinutuzumab

Secondary Outcomes (7)

• Bone marrow minimal residual disease-negative status

  After 3 cycles of ibrutinib, fludarabine phosphate, cyclophosphamide, obinutuzumab

• Incidence of treatment emergent toxicities using a Bayesian design by Thall, Simon and Estey assessed by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.03

  From the prior chemotherapy cycle to up to 84 days

• Progression-free survival

  Up to 6 years

• Overall survival

  Up to 6 years

• Long-term incidence rate of secondary myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia

  Up to 6 years

You may qualify if:

• Patients with a diagnosis of CLL/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), with mutated (\> 2% deviation from germ line) IGHV gene, who meet criteria to initiate first-line treatment per International Workshop on CLL Working Group (IWCLL) 2008 guidelines
• Patients must not have received prior CLL-directed therapy
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =\< 2
• Absolute neutrophil count \> 500 uL
• Platelet count \> 50,000/uL
• Serum total bilirubin =\< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or =\< 3 x ULN for patients with Gilbert's disease
• Estimated creatinine clearance \>= 30 mL/min (calculated or measured by 24 hour urine collection)
• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) =\< 2.5 x ULN
• Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine beta human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-hCG) pregnancy test result within 14 days prior to the first dose of study drugs and must agree to use an effective contraception method during the study and for 30 days following the last dose of study drug; women of non-childbearing potential are those who are postmenopausal greater than 1 year or who have had a bilateral tubal ligation or hysterectomy; men who have partners of childbearing potential must agree to use an effective contraceptive method during the study and for 30 days following the last dose of study drug
• Free of prior malignancies for 3 years with exception of patients diagnosed with basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or carcinoma "in situ" of the cervix or breast, who are eligible even if they are currently treated or have been treated and/or diagnosed in the past 2 years prior to study enrollment; if patients have another malignancy that was treated within the last 2 years, such patients can be enrolled, after consultation with the principal investigator, if the likelihood of requiring systemic therapy for this other malignancy within 2 years is less than 10%, as determined by an expert in that particular malignancy at MD Anderson Cancer Center
• Patients or their legally authorized representative must provide written informed consent
• Prothrombin time (PT)/international normalization ratio (INR) \< 1.5 x ULN
• Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) \< 1.5 x ULN
• Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) \< 1.5 x ULN

You may not qualify if:

• Major surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, biologic therapy, immunotherapy, experimental therapy within 3 weeks prior to the first dose of the study drugs and/or monoclonal antibody =\< 6 weeks prior to first administration of study treatment
