Primary Eligibility:

    Phase I

    • Histologically confirmed B- and T-cell lymphoid malignancies
      • Refractory or progressive disease
      • At least one prior chemotherapy regimen
      • No prior allogeneic or autologous stem cell transplant
      • No prior or concurrent diagnosis of the following:
        • Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease
        • Burkitt’s-like lymphoma
        • Lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia
        • Multiple myeloma
        • HIV-associated lymphoma

    Phase II

    • One of the following histologically confirmed lymphoid malignancies:
      • Arm A
        • Follicular lymphoma
      • Arm B
        • Mantle cell lymphoma
        • Peripheral T-cell lymphoma
        • Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma including mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome
        • Other indolent B-cell lymphoma such as marginal zone lymphoma
      • Arm C
        • Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
    • Measurable disease
    • Archived diagnostic tissue available for assessment of Bcl-2 family protein expression

    Phase I and Phase II

    • ≥ 18 years of age
    • No HIV
    • Subjects receiving SSRI must be on a stable dose for 21 days before starting study drug
    • Males and females of reproductive potential must agree to use an effective contraceptive method
    • ECOG Performance Status 0–1
    • Adequate bone marrow, renal, and hepatic function
    • No history of cancer-related CNS disease, lymphoid or non-lymphoid
    • No underlying, predisposing condition of bleeding or current signs of bleeding
    • No anticoagulation therapy or any drugs that affect platelet function with the exception of low-dose anticoagulation medications that are used to maintain the patency of a central venous catheter

    Treatment Plan:

      This is a multicenter, phase I, dose escalation study followed by an open-label, phase II study (phase II pending approval).

      Phase I

      • Patients receive oral ABT-263 once daily starting with a 7-day lead-in period at a lower dose, then begin continuous daily dosing
      • Courses repeat every 21 days for up to 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
      • Blood samples are acquired periodically during study treatment; samples are examined for pharmacokinetics and proteomics
      • After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 21 and 30 days

      Phase II

      • Patients receive oral ABT-263 at the maximum tolerated dose determined in phase I
