6.Life expectancy of greater than 6 months
7.Written informed consent
8.Willing to comply with the contraceptive requirements of the trial
9.Negative serum or urine pregnancy test for women of childbearing potential (WOCBP)
Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range: 0
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 74
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 74

Exclusion Criteria

1. Prior therapy for WM
2. Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma with no detectable serum IgM paraprotein
3. CNS involvement with WM
4. Autoimmune cytopenias
5. Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to randomisation
6. Clinically significant cardiac disease including the following:
o Myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to randomisation
o Unstable angina within 3 months prior to randomisation
o New York Heart Association class III or IV congestive heart failure
o History of clinically significant arrhythmias (e.g. sustained ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, torsades de pointes)
o QTcF > 480 msecs based on Fredericia’s formula
o History of Mobitz II second degree or third degree heart block without a permanent pacemaker in place
o Uncontrolled hypertension as indicated by a minimum of 2 consecutive blood pressure measurements showing systolic blood pressure > 170 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure > 105 mm Hg
o Cardiac event within 6 months of screening (e.g. coronary artery stent) requiring dual antiplatelet treatment
7. History of stroke or intracranial haemorrhage within 6 months prior to randomisation
8. Requires anticoagulation with warfarin or equivalent vitamin K antagonists (direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) allowed)
9. History of severe bleeding disorders considered not to be disease related (Haemophilia A, B or von Willebrand’s disease)
10. Requires ongoing treatment with a strong CYP3A inhibitor or inducer
11. Known infection with HIV, or serologic status reflecting active hepatitis B or C infection as follows:
o Presence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). In addition, if negative for HBsAg but HBcAb positive (regardless of HBsAb status), a HB DNA test will be performed and if positive the patient will be excluded
o Presence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody. Patients with presence of HCV antibody are eligible if HCV RNA is undetectable
12. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding or males expecting to conceive or father children at any point from the start of treatment until the end of the at risk period
13. Renal failure (creatinine clearance <30 ml/min as estimated by the Cockroft-Gault equation)
14. Patients with chronic liver disease with hepatic impairment Child-Pugh class B or C
15. Known history of anaphylaxis to any of the IMPs or its excipients, in addition to murine derived monoclonal antibodies
16. Received live vaccine six weeks prior to first dose of study therapy
17. Inability to swallow oral medication
18. Disease significantly affecting gastrointestinal function and/or inhibiting small intestine absorption (e.g. malabsorption syndrome, resection of the small bowel, poorly controlled inflammatory bowel disease)
19. Active systemic infection requiring treatment
20. Concomitant treatment with another investigational agent
21. Any life-threatening illness, medical condition, organ system dysfunction, need for profound anticoagulation, or bleeding disorder, which, in the investigator’s opinion, could compromise the patient’s safety, or put the study at risk
22. Unwilling or unable to take PJP prophylaxis (e.g. cotrimoxazole)
23. History of prior malignancy, with the exception of the following:
o Malignancy treated with curative intent and with no evidence of active disease present for more than 3 years prior to screening and felt to be at low risk for recurrence by treating physician
o Adequately treated non-melanomatous skin cancer or lentigo maligna melanoma, superficial bladder cancer, ca
