Zanubrutinib Plus BR in Newly Diagnosed Symptomatic WM
- Conditions
- Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT05914662
- Brief Summary
This study aims to evaluate the long-term efficacy of BTK inhibitor Zanubrutinib combined bendamustine and rituximab (ZBR) for time-limited treatment of Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, The combination therapy is expected to improve the remission depth, prolong the remission time, and improve the progression-free survival and overall survival of newly diagnosed WM patients. On the one hand, the patients have to bear a long-term economic burden, which is often difficult for some patients to adhere to for a long time. On the other hand, in the course of long-term treatment of BTKi, drug resistance and intolerable side effects are prone to occur. At the same time, it can prevent the disease rebound after the withdrawal of BTKi, so as to achieve the phased withdrawal of WM
- Detailed Description
WM not only has the characteristics of lymphoma, such as lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, and tumor cells expressing CD20, but also has the characteristics of myeloma, such as secreting monoclonal IgM, and tumor cells expressing plasma cell differentiation marker CD38, etc. Clinical studies have also shown that BR regimen and BTK inhibitor zanubrutinib are effective for WM.
This study aims to evaluate the long-term efficacy of BTK inhibitor Zanubrutinib combined bendamustine and rituximab (ZBR) for time-limited treatment of Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, The combination therapy is expected to improve the remission depth, prolong the remission time, and improve the progression-free survival and overall survival of newly diagnosed WM patients. On the one hand, the patients have to bear a long-term economic burden, which is often difficult for some patients to adhere to for a long time. On the other hand, in the course of long-term treatment of BTKi, drug resistance and intolerable side effects are prone to occur. At the same time, it can prevent the disease rebound after the withdrawal of BTKi, so as to achieve the phased withdrawal of WM. This prospective phase II study was designed to evaluate the rate of deep response in newly diagnosed symptomatic WM. Eligible patients received ZBR for 6 cycles followed by zanubrutinib monotherapy for an additional 6 months.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Best combined complete response (CR) and very good partial response (VGPR) up to the end of 12 cycles of treatment(each cycle is 28 days) To evaluate the efficacy of zanubrutinib plus bendamustine and rituximab (ZBR) regimen in the treatment of newly diagnosed WM patients, mainly the best deep response rate, namely the best deep response rate (VGPR and above).
