What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved partial response (PR) or better (VGPR) per the modified consensus response criteria from sixth International Workshop on Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia (IWWM) (National Comprehensive Cancer Network [NCCN], 2019). PR: greater than or equal to (>=) 50 percent (%) reduction of serum immunoglobulin M (IgM) from baseline, with reduction in lymphadenopathy/splenomegaly if present at baseline. Very Good Partial Response (VGPR): >=90% reduction of serum IgM from baseline or normal serum IgM values, with reduction in lymphadenopathy/splenomegaly if present at baseline.

    Measured: From start of the treatment (Day 1) up to 49.3 months

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Clinical Response Rate (CRR)

    CRR was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved minor response (MR) or better according to the modified sixth IWWM (NCCN 2019) criteria as assessed by the investigator. MR: >=25% but less than (<) 50% reduction of serum IgM from baseline.

    Measured: From start of the treatment (Day 1) up to 49.3 months

  2. Very Good Partial Response (VGPR) or Better Response Rate

    VGPR or better response rate was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved VGPR or better according to the modified sixth IWWM (NCCN 2019) criteria as assessed by the investigator. VGPR: >=90% reduction of serum IgM from baseline or normal serum IgM values, with reduction in lymphadenopathy/splenomegaly if present at baseline.

    Measured: From start of the treatment (Day 1) up to 49.3 months

  3. Duration of Response (DOR)

    DOR: duration from date of initial documentation of response (PR/better) to date of first documented progressive disease(PD), death or date of censoring if applicable, for responders (PR/better), as assessed by investigator. VGPR/PR: >=90% reduction or normal serum IgM values (for VGPR) and >=50% (for PR) reduction of serum IgM, with reduction in lymphadenopathy/splenomegaly if present at baseline. PD(at least 1): >=25% IgM increase in serum IgM with >=500 milligrams per deciliters(mg/dL) increase from nadir(lowest serum IgM value at any time from baseline), confirmation needed if IgM was sole PD criterion; new lymph nodes >1.5 centimeters(cm), >=50% increase in nadir in sum of product of diameters; 50% increase in longest diameter of previously identified node >1cm in short axis; new splenomegaly; new extranodal disease; new/recurrent bone marrow involvement; new symptomatic disease(pleural effusion/Bing Neel syndrome/amyloidosis/light chain deposition/paraprotein mediated disorder).

    Measured: From the date of first documented response up to date of first documented PD or death (Day 1 up to 49.3 months)

  4. Time to Response (TTR)

    TTR was defined as the time from the date of first dose to the date of initial documentation of a response (PR or better) for responders. PR: >=50% reduction of serum IgM from baseline, with reduction in lymphadenopathy/splenomegaly if present at baseline. VGPR: >=90% reduction of serum IgM from baseline or normal serum IgM values, with reduction in lymphadenopathy/splenomegaly if present at baseline.

    Measured: From start of the treatment up to first documentation of PR or better (Day 1 up to 49.3 months)

  5. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as duration from the date of first dose to the date of disease progression or death, whichever occurs first, assessed according to the modified sixth IWWM (NCCN 2019) criteria. PD (at least 1 of the following): >=25% IgM increase in serum IgM with >=500 mg/dL increase from nadir (lowest serum IgM value at any time from baseline), confirmation needed if IgM was sole PD criterion; new lymph nodes >1.5 cm, >=50% increase in nadir in sum of product of diameters; 50% increase in longest diameter of previously identified node >1 cm in short axis; new splenomegaly; new extranodal disease; new/recurrent bone marrow involvement; new symptomatic disease (pleural effusion, Bing Neel syndrome, amyloidosis, light chain deposition, paraprotein mediated disorder).

    Measured: From day of first dose (Day 1) until PD or death (up to 49.3 months)

  6. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall survival was measured from the date of first dose to the date of the participant's death from any cause.

    Measured: From day of first dose (Day 1) until death due to any cause (up to 49.3 months)

  7. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Grade 3 or Higher TEAEs

    An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the intervention. TEAEs were defined as AEs occurring after the first dose of study drugs and within 30 days following the last dose of study drug or initiation of subsequent antineoplastic treatment, whichever occurred earlier. TEAEs were graded based on National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) Version 4.03 as Grade 1= Mild; Grade 2= Moderate; Grade 3= Severe; Grade 4= Life-threatening and Grade 5= Death. Number of participants with TEAEs and Grade 3 or higher TEAEs (included serious and non-serious events) were reported in this outcome measure.

    Measured: From start of the treatment (Day 1) up to 30 days after last dose or initiation of subsequent antineoplastic treatment, whichever occurred first (Day 1 up to 45.9 months)

  8. Plasma Concentration of Ibrutinib

    Plasma concentrations of ibrutinib were reported.

    Measured: Pre-dose on Day 1 of Weeks 1, 5 and 9

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ibrutinib in people with Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC at 6 sites in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 22 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Apr 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall Response Rate (ORR) (time frame: From start of the treatment (Day 1) up to 49.3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04042376, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 May 2025.
