WALDENSTROM MACROGLOBULINEMIA

This phase 2 trial tested the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) alone or combined with idelalisib or ibrutinib in 65 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or low-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that had returned or stopped responding to treatment. The…

This early-phase study tested whether the oral antibiotic rifaximin can reduce abnormal proteins in people with monoclonal gammopathy, a condition that can lead to blood cancers. Fifty adults with different types of gammopathy took the drug to see if it lowered their immunoglobul…

This study tested different drug combinations to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in 174 people with blood cancers receiving stem cells from an unrelated donor. GVHD is a serious side effect where donor cells attack the patient's body. The goal was to find which drug regi…

This study tested the drug carfilzomib in 7 people with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia, a rare blood cancer, that had returned after previous treatment. The goal was to see if the drug could shrink tumors and control the cancer. Carfilzomib works by blocking a protein that helps…

This study tested a drug called zanubrutinib in 96 people with certain types of B-cell lymphoma (like chronic lymphocytic leukemia or mantle cell lymphoma) who had bad side effects from similar drugs like ibrutinib or acalabrutinib. The main goal was to see if zanubrutinib causes…

This study tested an oral drug called LOXO-305 (pirtobrutinib) in 803 people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, small lymphocytic lymphoma, or other non-Hodgkin lymphomas whose cancer had stopped responding to or could not tolerate standard treatments. The goal was to find the be…

This study tested the drug lenalidomide in 17 people with Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, a rare blood cancer, that had returned or stopped responding to prior treatments. The main goal was to find the safest dose by monitoring side effects. Researchers also looked at how many pat…

This early-stage trial tested a new drug called JNJ-75348780 in 147 people with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The drug is a bispecific antibody designed to help the immune system attack cancer cells. The main goals were to check safe…

This early-phase trial tested an experimental drug called BR101801 in 26 adults with advanced blood cancers like lymphoma and leukemia that had not responded to prior treatments. The main goals were to find a safe dose and check for side effects. The study is complete, but it is …

This study followed 16 people who had already received a special immune cell treatment (CLBR001 CAR-T) for various types of B-cell blood cancers like lymphoma and leukemia. The goal was to check for any new or long-term side effects that might appear months or years after treatme…

This completed study looked at whether the COVID-19 vaccine triggers a strong immune response in 146 people with multiple myeloma or Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia. Researchers measured antibody levels 28 days after the final vaccine dose. The goal was to see if these patients, …

This study looked at 300 people with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia or a related condition to see if blood or urine tests could detect key genetic mutations as accurately as bone marrow biopsies. The goal is to find a less invasive way to monitor the disease over time. Researche…
