This is an open-labeled, single arm, Phase II, two staged study of combination of ibrutinib and rituximab in patients with autoimmune cytopenia and underlying CLL. In stage I (remission induction) patients will receive ibrutinib and rituximab for 6 months; in stage II (maintenance) - only ibrutinib until relapse, progression or unacceptable toxicity. A total of 50 patients will be enrolled into the trial. The results will be compared to historical control, efficacy of rituximab as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy in patients with AIC and underlying CLL.
