New drug tested for Tough-to-Treat blood cancer

NCT ID NCT01198067

Summary

This early-phase study aimed to find the safest and most effective dose of the drug pomalidomide for patients with Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, a rare blood cancer that had returned or stopped responding to prior treatments. The trial enrolled 15 patients to carefully monitor side effects and see if the drug could help control the cancer. The main goal was to understand how much of the drug patients could tolerate, not to prove it was a cure.
