Lenalidomide and Obinutuzumab in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma

This phase II trial studies how well lenalidomide and obinutuzumab work in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as lenalidomide, 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. Monoclonal antibodies, such as obinutuzumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving lenalidomide and obinutuzumab may work better in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma.
