This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of ixazomib citrate (ixazomib) when given together with rituximab and to see how well they work after stem cell transplant in treating patients with mantle cell lymphoma that are no longer showing signs or symptoms of cancer. Ixazomib may stop the growth of cancer cell by blocking enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving ixazomib together with rituximab after transplant may help prevent the cancer from coming back.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the recommended phase II dose and assess the safety of ixazomib when administered as post-transplant maintenance in mantle cell lymphoma and to evaluate the safety of rituximab in combination with the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of ixazomib. (Phase I) II. To assess preliminary evidence of efficacy of ixazomib in combination with rituximab when administered as post-transplant maintenance in mantle cell lymphoma. (Phase II) SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate for preliminary evidence of efficacy of ixazomib (+/- rituximab) maintenance therapy in patients with mantle cell lymphoma undergoing autologous stem cell transplant in first partial or complete remission. (Phase I) II. To evaluate for preliminary evidence of efficacy of ixazomib (+/- rituximab) maintenance therapy in patients with mantle cell lymphoma who have a complex karyotype and other high-risk cytogenetic or clinical markers. (Phase I) III. To evaluate toxicities associated with prolonged administration of ixazomib maintenance therapy in patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). (Phase I) IV. To evaluate the rate of minimal residual disease (MRD) in patients who have completed an autologous transplant for mantle cell lymphoma and to assess the impact of MRD on outcomes for patients receiving maintenance therapy. (Phase I) V. To evaluate efficacy of ixazomib with rituximab maintenance therapy in patients with MCL who undergo autologous stem cell transplantation in first remission who have a complex karyotype and/or additional high risk cytogenetic or clinical features at diagnosis. (Phase II) VI. To further evaluate safety and toxicity of prolonged administration of ixazomib. (Phase II) VII. To evaluate long-term disease-related and survival outcomes for patients with MCL who receive post-transplant maintenance therapy with ixazomib with rituximab. (Phase II) VIII. To evaluate the rate of minimal residual disease (MRD) in patients who have completed an autologous transplant for mantle cell lymphoma and to assess the impact of MRD on outcomes for patients receiving maintenance therapy. (Phase II) TERTIARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the prognostic value of pre-transplant positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in mantle cell lymphoma. II. To evaluate the ability of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array to identify high-risk cytogenetic features in patients with MCL. III. To evaluate the impact of ixazomib maintenance (+/- rituximab) on immunoglobulin levels for patients completing autologous stem cell transplantation for mantle cell lymphoma. OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of ixazomib followed by a phase II study. Beginning between 70-180 days after stem cell transplant, patients receive ixazomib orally (PO) on days 1, 8, and 15, and rituximab intravenously (IV) (or subcutaneously \[SC\] after first dose if deemed appropriate) on day 1 of courses 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 10 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for up to 2 years.

Recommended phase 2 dose of ixazomib, defined as the dose where 1 or fewer of 6 treated patients experience a dose limiting toxicity graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03 (Phase I)
Time frame: 28 days
Progression-free survival (PFS), defined as the percentage of patients who have received at least one dose of study therapy who are alive and free of disease progression or relapse at 1-year post autologous stem cell transplant (Phase II)
Determined using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Time frame: 1 year
Conversion rate from MRD positive to MRD negative during therapy (Phase I & II)
Time frame: Up to 10 months (10 courses of treatment)
Incidence of adverse events graded according to CTCAE version 4.03 (Phase I & II)
Adverse events will be tabulated across all patients who received any treatment with a focus on severe (grade 3-5) adverse events and toxicities as well as commonly encountered lower grade adverse events. All adverse events will be reported in tabular form, and as, possible, identification of adverse events possibly, probably, or definitely related to study therapy will be noted.
Time frame: Up to 30 days after administration of the last dose of study treatment
Median OS (Phase II)
The relationship between cytogenetic variables and OS will be explored using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Time frame: Up to 2 years
Median PFS (Phase II)
The relationship between cytogenetic variables and PFS will be explored using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Time frame: Up to 2 years
Overall survival (OS) (Phase II)
The relationship between cytogenetic variables and OS will be explored using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Time frame: 1 year
PFS for all patients and for those patients with a complex karyotype and other high-risk clinical or cytogenetic features (Phase I)
The relationship between cytogenetic variables and PFS will be explored using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Time frame: 1 year
PFS for patients with a complex karyotype and other high risk clinical or cytogenetic features (Phase II)
The relationship between cytogenetic variables and PFS will be explored using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Time frame: 1 year
Rate of MRD positivity (Phase I & II)
Time frame: Baseline
Rate of patients maintaining MRD negativity from study entry to completion of therapy (Phase I & II)
Time frame: Up to 10 months (10 courses of treatment)
