Summary
This study tests a daily pill called PCI-32765 for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who are over 65 or have a specific genetic change (17p deletion). These groups often don't respond well to standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink or control the cancer with fewer side effects. Participants take the drug for 28-day cycles and continue if it helps.
