Clinical trial for Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma
Official title Testing the Combination of Venetoclax and Rituximab, in Comparison to the Usual Treatment (Ibrutinib Plus Rituximab or Zanubrutinib Alone) for Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia/Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04840602
What this study is testing
What is Ibrutinib?
Ibrutinib is an investigational oral medication being studied for the treatment of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. It is designed to block the enzyme BTK, which is involved in cancer cell growth.
Also referred to as BTK Inhibitor PCI-32765.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The study compares how well the new drug combination controls the disease versus the standard treatments. It looks at whether the combo can stop cancer cells from growing and surviving.
- Who it's for
- It is looking for adults who have not yet received any treatment for Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia or lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive the study drugs and may have regular blood tests, scans, and clinic visits to monitor safety and effectiveness. The treatment schedule and specific tests are determined by the study team.
- Time commitment
- The trial lasts about 12 to 18 months, with scheduled visits every few weeks to months for medication, monitoring, and follow‑up.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
