Study Summary

This trial looks at the side effects of two drugs, ibrutinib and ixazomib, when given together to treat Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia. Enzyme inhibitors, such as ibrutinib and ixazomib, may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, whether newly diagnosed, relapsed or treatment-resistant. Participants must be able to give consent, provide blood and bone marrow samples, have certain minimum blood counts and organ function levels, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, use effective contraception if of childbearing potential, and have no major surgery planned.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness and side effects of combining two enzyme inhibitors: Ibrutinib citrate and Ixazomib citrate in treating Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia. It includes laboratory biomarker analysis along with pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic studies to understand how these drugs work together against cancer cells.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include digestive issues due to interference with oral absorption; heart problems like uncontrolled hypertension or arrhythmias; liver dysfunction; nerve pain or neuropathy; increased risk of infection; allergic reactions to medication components; fatigue from anemia or low platelet count.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is enrollment for this experiment currently open to volunteers?

"As elucidated on clinicaltrials.gov, this research is not currently enrolling candidates. The investigation began recruitment on July 5th 2018 and was most recently amended October 7th 2022. Despite the fact that it's no longer seeking participants, there are 305 other trials which presently require volunteers."

Answered by AI

How extensive is the scope of this experiment in terms of participant numbers?

"This clinical trial has concluded its recruitment period; the first posting was on July 5th 2018 and there have been no updates since October 7th 2022. There are currently 83 trials looking for participants with Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia and 222 studies searching for candidates to partake in a Pharmacokinetic Study."

Answered by AI

What health conditions are most frequently addressed through pharmacokinetic study?

"Pharmacokinetic Study can be employed to treat patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia, and Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)."

Answered by AI

What risks might be associated with a Pharmacokinetic Study?

"Data suggests that the pharmacokinetic study is relatively safe, scoring a 2 on our scale. This rating reflects the fact that there have been some studies testing safety but none assessing efficacy yet."

Answered by AI

Have any other studies explored the Pharmacokinetic Study?

"The Pharmacokinetic Study was first conducted at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center in Rockville, Maryland back in 2011. Subsequently, there have been 711 completed studies and 222 active clinical trials occurring around Jacksonville, Florida."
