prior to initiation of protocol treatment. 3. Prothrombin time (PT), partial thromboplastin time (PTT), and international
normalized ratio (INR) < 2 times the upper limit of normal. 4. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 times
the upper limit of normal. 5. Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal. 6. Creatinine clearance > 30 mL/min calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault formula

transplant within 6 months, prior to the first day of study treatment, prior to the

4. Prior allogenic stem cell transplant.
5. Participation in another clinical study with an investigational product during the 4
weeks prior to the first day of study treatment.
6. External beam radiation therapy to the CNS within 14 days of the first day of study
treatment.
7. Patient requires more than 8 mg of dexamethasone daily or the equivalent for control
of CNS symptoms at the time of initiation of study therapy. Patients must taper off
high dose corticosteroids for the control of CNS symptoms within 14 days after
starting on study therapy.
8. History of intracranial hemorrhage or clinically significant stroke within 6 months
prior to first day of study treatment. 9. History of significant gastrointestinal disease that would limit absorption of oral
medications.
10. Active concurrent malignancy requiring active therapy.
11. Prior therapy with a checkpoint inhibitor or BTK inhibitor.
12. Warfarin or any other Coumadin-derivative anticoagulant or vitamin K antagonists.
Patients must be off warfarin-derivative anticoagulants for at least seven days
prior to starting the study drug. Use of low molecular weight heparin and novel oral
anticoagulants (eg. rivaroxaban, apixaban) is permitted if required.
13. Concurrent use of a moderate or strong inhibitor or inducer of the P450 isoenzyme
CYP3A. Participants must be off P450/CYP3A inhibitors and inducers prior to starting
the study drug.
14. Receipt of live attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the first day of study
treatment. Note: Patients, if enrolled, should not receive live vaccine while
receiving IP and up to 30 days after the last day of study treatment.
15. Suspicion of or confirmed progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. 16. Active autoimmune disease (including autoimmune hemolytic anemia and immune
thrombocytopenia purpura) requiring systemic treatment within the past two years
(i.e. with the use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids, or
immunosuppressive drugs). The following are exceptions to this criterion:
1. Patients with vitiligo or alopecia. 2. Patients with hypothyroidism (e.g., due to Hashimoto syndrome) stable on
hormone replacement. 3. Any chronic skin condition that does not require systemic therapy. 4. Patients without active disease in the last 5 years may be included but only
after consultation with the study physician. 5. Patients with celiac disease controlled by diet alone. 6. Replacement therapy (e.g. thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroids
replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.)

would substantially increase the risk to benefit ratio of participating in the
study. This includes, but is not limited to, acute myocardial infarction in the past
6 months, unstable angina, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, significant active
infections, severely immunocompromised state, and congestive heart failure, New York
