                 patients of childbearing potential and non-sterile male patients (with partners of
                 childbearing potential) must agree to use highly effective methods of contraception
                 from registration on the study to 30 days after the last dose of ibrutinib and 12

                 by qPCR on two consecutive tests (whichever is later):
    
                   -  Total abstinence from sexual intercourse when this is in line with the preferred
                      and usual life style of the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar,
                      ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not
                      acceptable methods of contraception
    
                   -  Female sterilisation (have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or without
                      hysterectomy), total hysterectomy, or bilateral tubal ligation at least six weeks
                      prior to registration. In case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive
                      status of the woman has been confirmed by follow-up hormone level assessment
    
                   -  Male sterilisation (at least 6 months prior to screening). For female patients on
                      the study, the vasectomised male partner should be the sole partner for that
                      patient
    
                   -  Use of oral, (estrogen and progesterone), injected or implanted hormonal methods
                      of contraception or placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine
                      system (IUS), or other forms of hormonal contraception that have comparable
                      efficacy (failure rate <1%), for example hormone vaginal ring or transdermal
                      hormone contraception. In case of use of oral contraception women should have
                      been stable on the same pill for a minimum of 3 months before enrolment into this
                      study.
    
            Women are considered post-menopausal and not of child bearing potential if they have had 12
            months of natural (spontaneous) amenorrhea with an appropriate clinical profile (e.g. age
            appropriate history of vasomotor symptoms) or have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy
            (with or without hysterectomy), total hysterectomy or tubal ligation at least six weeks
            ago. In the case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has
            been confirmed by follow-up hormone level assessment is she considered not of child bearing
            potential.
    
            11. Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum (beta-human
            chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) or urine pregnancy test within 7 days of registration 12.
            Sexually active male patients must use a condom during intercourse and must agree to
            refrain from sperm donation, from registration on the study until 30 days after the last
            dose of ibrutinib or 12 months after Tisagenlecleucel infusion and until Tisagenlecleucel
            is no longer present by qPCR on two consecutive tests
