Rituximab is an important therapeutic for Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM). Polymorphisms in FcgammaRIIIA (CD16) receptor expression modulate human immunoglobulin G1 binding and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, may therefore influence responses to rituximab.Sequence analysis of the entire coding region was undertaken 58 patients with WM whose outcomes after rituximab were known.Variations five codons identified. Two commonly observed (FcgammaRIIIA-48 FcgammaRIIIA-158)...
Abstract Purpose: Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM) is a B-cell disorder. Despite advances in the therapy, WM remains incurable. As such, novel therapeutic agents are needed for treatment of WM. Experimental Design: In this multicenter study, 27 patients with received up to eight cycles bortezomib at 1.3 mg/m2 on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. All but one patient had relapsed/or refractory disease. Results: Following median serum IgM levels declined from 4,660 2,092 mg/dL (P < 0.0001). The...
We report the long-term findings and final analysis of a pivotal multicenter trial ibrutinib monotherapy in previously treated patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM).Sixty-three symptomatic median prior therapies two (range, one to nine therapies), whom 40% were refractory their previous therapy, received at 420 mg/d. Dose reduction was permitted for toxicity.The follow-up 59 months, overall major response rates 90.5% 79.4%, respectively. At best response, serum immunoglobulin M...
BCL2 is overexpressed and confers prosurvival signaling in malignant lymphoplasmacytic cells Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM). Venetoclax a potent antagonist triggers vitro apoptosis of WM cells. The activity venetoclax remains to be clarified.We performed multicenter, prospective phase II study patients with previously treated (NCT02677324). was dose-escalated from 200 mg maximum dose 800 daily for up 2 years.Thirty-two were evaluable, including 16 exposed Bruton tyrosine kinase...
Abstract Herein, we present the final report of a single-center, prospective phase II study evaluating ibrutinib 420 mg once daily in 30 treatment-naive patients with Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM). The is registered ClinicalTrials.Gov (NCT02604511). With median follow-up 50 months, overall, major, and VGPR response rates were 100%, 87%, 30%. rate was numerically but not significantly lower than without CXCR4 mutations (14% vs. 44%; p = 0.09). time to minor 0.9 major 1.9 though longer...
Chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR T) are groundbreaking therapies but may cause significant toxicities including cytokine release syndrome (CRS), immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity (ICANS), and cytopenias. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is often used to mitigate neutropenia after CAR T, there no consensus recommended strategy due hypothesized, largely unknown risks of exacerbating toxicities. To investigate the impact G-CSF, we retrospectively analyzed 197...
Abstract Purpose: Thalidomide and its more potent immunomodulatory derivative lenalidomide enhance rituximab-mediated antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. We therefore evaluated rituximab in symptomatic Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM) patients naive to either agent. Experimental Design: Intended therapy consisted of 48 weeks (25 mg/d for 3 then 1 week off) along with (375 mg/m2/wk) dosed on 2 5 13 16. Sixteen were enrolled, 12 whom previously untreated. Results: Unexpectedly,...
