Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Diagnosis of CLL/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) or CLL-like monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (MBL) according to IWCLL guidelines. 2. Patients \>18 years old 3. Active AIHA (wAIHA or CAD) that i) is relapsed after previous treatment with corticosteroids (with or without rituximab), or ii) is steroid-resistant (failure to obtain hematologic response within 3 weeks on at least 1 mg/kg predniso(lo)ne), or iii) is steroid-dependent (need to continue on predniso(lo)ne at a dose of \>10 mg/day to maintain a response). AIHA is defined as: anemia (hemoglobin ≤10 g/dL; or hemoglobin \>10 g/dL dependent on transfusions to maintain this level of hemoglobin) and laboratory evidence of hemolysis (presence of 3 of 4 markers: increased reticulocyte count, increased indirect bilirubin, increased lactate dehydrogenase, decreased haptoglobin) and positive DAT (either IgG DAT, C3 DAT or both). 4.

Previous exposure to ibrutinib as CLL-directed therapy. 4. Other CLL/SLL- or AIHA-directed treatment at the time of enrollment in the study, other than corticosteroids. 5.
