Patent Claims:	1. A method for treating lymphoma or leukemia in a human patient, the method comprising orally administering once daily GDC-0199 to the patient in dosing cycles comprising escalating doses, wherein the escalating doses comprise a dose of 100 mg of GDC-0199 per day, followed by orally administering to the patient a dose of 200 mg of GDC-0199 per day, followed by orally administering to the patient a dose of 400 mg of GDC-0199 per day. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein each dosing cycle is one day. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein a starting dose of the escalating doses is administered for one dosing cycle and an ending dose of the escalating doses is administered in multiple dosing cycles. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the method is continued until disease progression. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the GDC-0199 is administered in combination with obinutuzumab. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein an effective amount of the obinutuzumab is administered to the patient in combination with the GDC-0199 once in a 28 day cycle for 6 to 7 dosing cycles. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the effective amount of the obinutuzumab is 1000 mg. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the patient is administered 100 mg of GDC-0199 per day for one day, followed by 200 mg of GDC-0199 per day for one day, followed by 400 mg of GDC-0199 per day. 9. A method for treating lymphoma or leukemia in a human patient, the method comprising orally administering once daily GDC-0199 in escalating doses to the patient, wherein the escalating doses comprise a dose of 100 mg of GDC-0199 per day, followed by orally administering to the patient a dose of 200 mg of GDC-0199 per day. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the method comprises administering three differing doses of GDC-0199. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the method comprises administering GDC-0199 in multiple dosing cycles and wherein a different dose of GDC-0199 is orally administered once daily to the patient in each of the first three dosing cycles. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein each dosing cycle is one day. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein a starting dose of the escalating doses is administered for one dosing cycle and an ending dose of the escalating doses is administered in multiple dosing cycles. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the method is continued until disease progression. 15. The method of claim 9, wherein the GDC-0199 is administered in combination with obinutuzumab. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein an effective amount of the obinutuzumab is administered to the patient in combination with the GDC-0199 once in a 28 day cycle for 6 to 7 dosing cycles. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the effective amount of the obinutuzumab is 1000 mg. 18. The method of claim 9, wherein the patient is administered 100 mg of GDC-0199 per day for one day, followed by 200 mg of GDC-0199 per day for one day. 19. A method for treating lymphoma or leukemia in a human patient, the method comprising orally administrating once daily GDC-0199 in escalating doses to the patient, wherein the escalating doses comprise a daily dose of 100 mg of GDC-0199. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein the method comprises administering three differing doses of GDC-0199. 21. The method of claim 20, wherein the dose of 100 mg of GDC-0199 is a starting dose of the escalating doses. 22. The method of claim 20, wherein the method comprises administering GDC-0199 in multiple dosing cycles and wherein a different dose of GDC-0199 is orally administered once daily to the patient in each of the first three dosing cycles. 23. The method of claim 22, wherein each dosing cycle is one day. 24. The method of claim 20, wherein a starting dose of the escalating doses is administered for one dosing cycle and an ending dose of the escalating doses is administered in multiple dosing cycles. 25. The method of claim 24, wherein the method is continued until disease progression. 26. The method of claim 19, wherein the GDC-0199 is administered in combination with cytarabine. 27. The method of claim 19, wherein the GDC-0199 is administered in combination with obinutuzumab. 28. The method of claim 27, wherein an effective amount of the obinutuzumab is administered to the patient in combination with the GDC-0199 once in a 28 day cycle for 6 to 7 dosing cycles. 29. The method of claim 28, wherein the effective amount of the obinutuzumab is 1000 mg.
