Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          1. Men and women ≥ 18 years of age with a confirmed diagnosis of CLL/SLL, which has
             relapsed after, or been refractory to, ≥ 2 previous treatments for CLL/SLL.

          2. Must have measurable CLL/SLL defined as ≥ 1 lymph node ≥ 2 cm as measured in the
             longest diameter.

          3. Active disease meeting ≥ 1 of the following IWCLL 2008 criteria for requiring
             treatment:

               1. Evidence of progressive marrow failure as manifested by the development of, or
                  worsening of, anemia (hemoglobin < 10 g/dL) and/or thrombocytopenia (platelets <
                  100,000/μL).

               2. Massive (i.e., ≥ 6 cm below the left costal margin), progressive, or symptomatic
                  splenomegaly.

               3. Massive nodes (i.e., ≥ 10 cm in the longest diameter), progressive, or
                  symptomatic lymphadenopathy.

               4. Progressive lymphocytosis with an increase of > 50% over a 2-month period or a
                  lymphocyte doubling time (LDT) of < 6 months. LDT may be obtained by linear
                  regression extrapolation of absolute lymphocyte counts (ALC) obtained at
                  intervals of 2 weeks over an observation period of 2 to 3 months. In subjects
                  with initial blood lymphocyte counts of < 30 X 109/L (30,000/μL), LDT should not
                  be used as a single parameter to define indication for treatment. In addition,
                  factors contributing to lymphocytosis or lymphadenopathy other than CLL (e.g.,
                  infections) should be excluded.

               5. Autoimmune anemia and/or thrombocytopenia that is poorly responsive to standard
                  therapy.

               6. Constitutional symptoms documented in the subject's chart with supportive
                  objective measures, as appropriate, defined as ≥ 1 of the following
                  disease-related symptoms or signs:

             i. Unintentional weight loss ≥ 10% within the previous 6 months before Screening.

             ii. Fevers higher than 100.5°F or 38.0°C for 2 or more weeks before Screening without
             evidence of infection.

             iii. Night sweats for > 1 month before Screening without evidence of infection.

          4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of ≤ 2.

          5. Agreement to use highly effective methods of contraception during the study and for 2
             days after the last dose of study drug if sexually active and able to bear or beget
             children (see Section 3.7.9 for list of highly effective methods of contraception).

          6. Willing and able to participate in all required evaluations and procedures in this
             study protocol including swallowing capsules without difficulty.

          7. Ability to understand the purpose and risks of the study and provide signed and dated
             informed consent and authorization to use protected health information (in accordance
             with national and local subject privacy regulations).

          8. Removed at Amendment 11.
