Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patients ≥ 18 years
  • Confirmed diagnosis of WM (according to consensus panel / WHO criteria) with measurable IgM paraprotein
  • Previously untreated disease at any stage requiring therapy at the discretion of the treating physician. Suggested criteria for initiating treatment include:
  • haematological suppression to Hb \<10g/dl, or neutrophils \<1.5x109/l or platelets \<150x109/l
  • clinical evidence of hyperviscosity
  • bulky lymphadenopathy and/or bulky splenomegaly
  • presence of B symptoms
  • No previous chemotherapy (prior plasma exchange and steroids are permissible)
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status grade 0 - 2
  • Life expectancy of greater than 6 months
  • Written informed consent
  • Willing to comply with the contraceptive requirements of the trial
  • Negative serum or urine pregnancy test for women of childbearing potential (WOCBP)

Exclusion

  • Prior therapy for WM
  • Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma with no detectable serum IgM paraprotein
  • CNS involvement with WM
  • Autoimmune cytopenias
  • Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to randomisation
  • Clinically significant cardiac disease including the following:
  • Myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to randomisation
  • Unstable angina within 3 months prior to randomisation
  • New York Heart Association class III or IV congestive heart failure
  • History of clinically significant arrhythmias (e.g. sustained ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, torsades de pointes)
  • QTcF \> 480 msecs based on Fredericia's formula or Bazette's formula
  • History of Mobitz II second degree or third degree heart block without a permanent pacemaker in place
  • Uncontrolled hypertension as indicated by a minimum of 2 consecutive blood pressure measurements showing systolic blood pressure \> 170 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure \> 105 mm Hg
  • Cardiac event within 6 months of screening (e.g. coronary artery stent) requiring dual antiplatelet treatment
  • History of stroke or intracranial haemorrhage within 6 months prior to randomisation
  • Requires anticoagulation with warfarin or equivalent vitamin K antagonists (direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) allowed)
  • History of severe bleeding disorders considered not to be disease related (Haemophilia A, B or von Willebrand's disease)
  • Requires ongoing treatment with a strong CYP3A inhibitor or inducer
  • Known infection with HIV, or serologic status reflecting active hepatitis B or C infection as follows:
  • Presence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). In addition, if negative for HBsAg but HBcAb positive (regardless of HBsAb status), a HB DNA test will be performed and if positive the patient will be excluded
  • Presence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody. Patients with presence of HCV antibody are eligible if HCV RNA is undetectable
  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding or males expecting to conceive or father children at any point from the start of treatment until the end of the "at risk period"
  • Renal failure (creatinine clearance \<30 ml/min as estimated by the Cockroft-Gault equation)
  • Patients with chronic liver disease with hepatic impairment Child-Pugh class B or C
  • Known history of anaphylaxis following exposure to rat or mouse derived CDR-grafted humanised monoclonal antibodies.
  • Inability to swallow oral medication
  • Disease significantly affecting gastrointestinal function and/or inhibiting small intestine absorption (e.g. malabsorption syndrome, resection of the small bowel, poorly controlled inflammatory bowel disease)
  • Active systemic infection requiring treatment
  • Concomitant treatment with another investigational agent
  • Any life-threatening illness, medical condition, organ system dysfunction, need for profound anticoagulation, or bleeding disorder, which, in the investigator's opinion, could compromise the patient's safety, or put the study at risk
  • Unwilling or unable to take PCP prophylaxis (e.g. cotrimoxazole)
  • History of prior malignancy, with the exception of the following:
  • Malignancy treated with curative intent and with no evidence of active disease present for more than 3 years prior to screening and felt to be at low risk for recurrence by treating physician
  • Adequately treated non-melanomatous skin cancer or lentigo maligna melanoma, superficial bladder cancer, carcinoma in situ of the cervix or breast or localized Gleason score 6 prostate cancer without current evidence of disease.
