First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
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 cancer cells survive, causing them to die.
