First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding acalabrutinib to standard rituximab therapy is safe and effective for people with nerve damage (neuropathy) linked to two blood conditions: IgM MGUS or Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia. The 12 participants receive both drugs to see if the combination reduces harmful IgM antibodies and improves nerve symptoms. The goal is better disease control without a cure, as ongoing management is still needed.
