Summary
This study tested the drug carfilzomib in 7 people with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia, a rare blood cancer, that had come back after previous treatment. The goal was to see if the drug could shrink tumors and control the disease. Carfilzomib works by blocking a protein that cells need to survive, causing cancer cells to die.
