NCT ID NCT07169331

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tests the drug zanubrutinib (Brukinsa) in 18 Chinese adults who have Waldenström macroglobulinemia but have not yet received any treatment. The goal is to see how well the drug controls the disease and to check for side effects. Participants take zanubrutinib by mouth, and the study will measure tumor shrinkage and response rates.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
zanubrutinib (Brukinsa)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could confirm zanubrutinib as a safe and effective first treatment for Chinese patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia, helping control the disease.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-arm study with only 18 participants, so results may not apply broadly. As a phase 4 trial, the drug is already approved, but side effects or lack of strong response are still possible.
