About this study

Official title: Phase II Clinical Study of Zanubrutinib Combined With Bendamustine and Rituximab (ZBR) for Time-limited Treatment of Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia

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

Read the 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.

    Measured: Up to 3 years after the end of treatment

  4. Progression free survival(PFS)

    3-year PFS rate after treatment

    Measured: Up to 3 years after the end of treatment

  5. Duration of Response

    DOR is defined as the time from the first occurrence of overall response (CR, PR or MR) until disease progression or death due to any cause.

    Measured: Up to 3 years after the end of treatment

  6. Time to Next Treatment

    Defined as the amount of time from the start of trial until the patient requires a new form of treatment to treat their WM

  7. Safety of treatment regimens

    Defined as Treatment-related adverse reactions in patients receiving treatment under this study protocol

    Measured: Up to 3 years after the end of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Zanubrutinib, Bendamustine and Rituximab in people with Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia, run by Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, China at 1 site 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 22 inclusion and 11 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Shuhua Yi, Dr. (86-22-23909106, yishuhua@ihcams.ac.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Best combined complete response (CR) and very good partial response (VGPR) (time frame: up to the end of 12 cycles of treatment(each cycle is 28 days)). 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 NCT05914662, which also lists 11 linked publications.

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 28 Aug 2024.
