BACKGROUND: * Primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. * The outcome for patients with this diagnosis is significantly worse than for that of systemic DLBCL. Most treatment approaches in the past have included high dose methotrexate and radiation treatment. * Most PCNSLs appear to be of activated B-cell (ABC) origin. * Ibrutinib is an inhibitor of Bruton s tyrosine kinase (BTK) and effective for systemic DLBCL of ABC origin. * We propose doing a study in which ibrutinib is combined with a novel chemotherapy platform called dose adjusted temozolomide, etoposide, doxil, dexamethasone, ibrutinib, rituximab (TEDDI-R). OBJECTIVE: \- Identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ibrutinib or the dose that achieves adequate CSF concentrations, whichever comes first, when ibrutinib is given with TEDDI-R. ELIGIBILITY: * Relapsed/refractory PCNSL. * Age greater than or equal to 18 years. * No pregnant or breast-feeding women. * Adequate organ function (defined in protocol). STUDY DESIGN: * This is a phase 1 study of 40 patients. * The study will have two components. 1. Phase 1: MTD of ibrutinib will be identified or the dose at which ibrutinib achieves a concentration of less than or equal to 100 nM in the CSF, when given in combination with TEDDI-R immuno-chemotherapy, whichever comes first. 2. Expansion cohort: Safety and tolerability of the regimen in relapsed/refractory or previously untreated PCNSL (DLBCL type) will be assessed at the final ibrutinib dose with TEDDI-R in 10 patients. Secondary objectives will be PFS and OS.

Most treatment approaches in the past have included high dose methotrexate and radiation treatment. * Most PCNSLs appear to be of activated B-cell (ABC) origin * Ibrutinib is an inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) and effective for systemic DLBCL of ABC origin. * We propose doing a study in which ibrutinib is combined with a novel chemotherapy platform called temozolomide, etoposide, doxil, dexamethasone, ibrutinib, rituximab (TEDDI-R). Objective: * To identify the dose of ibrutinib with anti-fungal prophylaxis that can be safely administered to achieve an ibrutinib median CSF CMAX of 1.98 nM (Range 0.69 to 11.1) * To assess the safety, feasibility, and complete response (CR) rate of the TEDDI-R in untreated PCNSL (DLBCL type) patients. Eligibility: * Relapsed/refractory or untreated PCNSL * Age \>= 18 years. * No pregnant or nursing individuals. * Adequate organ function (defined in protocol). Study Design: * This is a phase 1 study of 93 patients. * The study will have three components. * Phase 1: MTD of ibrutinib will be identified or the dose at which ibrutinib achieves a concentration of \>= 100 nM in the CSF, when given in combination with TEDDI-R immuno-chemotherapy, whichever comes first. * Expansion cohort: Safety and tolerability of the regimen in relapsed/refractory PCNSL (DLBCL type) will be assessed at the final ibrutinib dose with TEDDI-R in 10 patients. Secondary objectives will be PFS and OS. * Revised Study Design: new ibrutinib dose levels are being added together with anti-fungal prophylaxis to determine the dose of ibrutinib that may be safely given with the chemotherapy platform. * A second expansion cohort of untreated PCNSL (DLBCL type) will be added: Safety, feasibility, and complete response rate of the regimen in untreated PCNSL (DLBCL type) will be assessed at the final ibrutinib dose with TEDDI-R in 15 patients. Secondary objectives will be PFS and OS. * A new dosing schedule will be tested in up to 10 relapsed or refractory patients and 15 patients with untreated PCNSL. Secondary objectives will be PFS and OS.
