Lead Sponsor:

Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, China

Conditions:

Waldenström Macroglobulinemia (WM)

Eligibility:

All Genders

18-75 years

Phase:

Brief Summary

This is a two-part, non-randomized, open-label Phase I clinical study. The research consists of: 1. A 3+3 dose-escalation phase to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and Recommended Phase II ...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Inclusion Criteria
  • Patient fully understands the study, voluntarily participates, and signs the Informed Consent Form (ICF).
  • Patient of any gender, aged ≥18 years and ≤75 years.
  • Patient must meet diagnostic criteria for Waldenström Macroglobulinemia (WM) and be MYD88 L265P mutation positive.
  • Patient has documented baseline IgM levels and disease assessment parameters (including liver, spleen, lymph nodes; if extramedullary lesions exist, include assessment of other extramedullary sites) prior to ibrutinib use, to facilitate subsequent efficacy evaluation.
  • ECOG performance status score of 0-1.
  • Patient has received ≥12 cycles of ibrutinib monotherapy, achieved a treatment response (but not Complete Response (CR) ), and is currently on a treatment plateau.
  • Patient has maintained good treatment tolerance (experienced no Grade ≥3 adverse reactions during ibrutinib therapy) and is still receiving ibrutinib.
  • Patient has no prior treatment with Bendamustine combined with Rituximab (BR) regimen.
  • Laboratory values:
  • Neutrophils ≥1.0 × 10⁹/L
  • Platelets ≥50 × 10⁹/L
  • Hemoglobin ≥70 g/L
  • Total bilirubin ≤2 × Upper Limit of Normal (ULN)
  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) / Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤3 × ULN
  • Creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥30 mL/min (calculated by Cockcroft-Gault formula).
  • Patient has an estimated life expectancy ≥6 months.
  • Exclusion Criteria
  • Diagnosis or treatment for a malignancy other than B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (B-NHL) within the past year (including active Central Nervous System lymphoma). Received other anti-tumor therapies (including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, hormonal therapy, anti-tumor Chinese herbs with activity) within 4 weeks prior to study drug administration (excluding ibrutinib) or participated in other clinical trials receiving investigational drugs.
  • Clinical evidence of transformation to large cell lymphoma.
  • Non-lymphoma related liver or kidney impairment:
  • ALT \>3 × ULN
  • AST \>3 × ULN
  • Total bilirubin (TBIL) \>2 × ULN
  • Serum creatinine clearance \<30 mL/min.
  • Other severe medical conditions that could interfere with the study (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, gastric ulcer, other severe cardiopulmonary diseases), as determined by the investigator.
  • Cardiac function or disease meeting any of the following:
  • Long QTc syndrome or QTc interval \>480 ms;
  • Complete left bundle branch block, second- or third-degree atrioventricular block;
  • Severe, uncontrolled arrhythmias requiring drug therapy;
  • New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification ≥ Class III;
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \<50%;
  • History within 6 months prior to enrollment: myocardial infarction, unstable angina, severe unstable ventricular arrhythmias, or any other arrhythmia requiring treatment; history of clinically significant pericardial disease; or ECG evidence of acute ischemia or active conduction system abnormalities.
  • Known history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection, or active Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection, or any uncontrolled active systemic infection requiring intravenous antibiotics.
  • Note: Active HBV infection is defined as meeting ALL THREE criteria: a. HBV DNA quantification ≥2000 IU/mL; b. ALT ≥2 × ULN; c. Hepatitis not attributable to other causes (e.g., disease itself, drugs). Patients initially diagnosed with active HBV infection who convert to inactive HBV status after anti-HBV therapy may be enrolled provided they receive adequate anti-HBV prophylaxis.
  • Major surgery within 14 days prior to enrollment (excluding lymph node biopsy) or anticipated need for major surgery during the study.
  • History or current diagnosis of another malignancy (except adequately controlled non-melanoma skin basal cell carcinoma, carcinoma in situ of the breast/cervix, and other malignancies effectively controlled without treatment for the past five years).
  • Pregnant or lactating women, or women of childbearing potential not using contraception.
  • Hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or their components.
  • Malabsorption syndrome, disease significantly affecting gastrointestinal function, gastrectomy, extensive small bowel resection potentially affecting absorption, symptomatic inflammatory bowel disease, partial or complete bowel obstruction, or gastric restriction/bariatric surgery (e.g., gastric bypass).
  • History of stroke or intracranial hemorrhage within 6 months prior to the first dose of study drug.
  • History of bleeding diathesis (e.g., hemophilia, von Willebrand disease).
  • Requirement for or ongoing anticoagulation therapy with warfarin or equivalent vitamin K antagonists (e.g., phenprocoumon) within 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug.
  • Diagnosis of gastrointestinal ulcer by endoscopy within 3 months prior to the first dose of study drug.
