Ibrutinib + Ixazomib for Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia
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.

- I do not have any uncontrolled heart or blood pressure problems.My condition is confirmed Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, whether new, relapsed, or refractory.I have signs of disease like specific proteins in my blood, swollen lymph nodes, or more than 10% of my bone marrow is affected.I can take care of myself but might not be able to do heavy physical work.I have moderate to severe nerve damage in my hands or feet, or mild nerve damage with pain.I have an active hepatitis B or C infection, or I am HIV positive.I am currently being treated with ibrutinib and strong CYP3A inhibitors.Your hemoglobin level needs to be 9.0 grams per deciliter or higher in a blood test taken within 14 days before enrolling in the study.I haven't had major surgery or a biopsy in the last 14 days and don't expect to need one soon.I had radiotherapy less than 2 weeks ago, or less than a week ago for a small area.I haven't taken any strong medication or St. John's wort in the last 14 days.I haven't had any cancer treatment or joined other clinical trials in the last 28 days.I am currently breastfeeding.I don't have GI issues that affect medicine absorption.Your absolute neutrophil count is at least 1000 per cubic millimeter of blood.I have not been treated with ixazomib but may have had bortezomib if my disease did not resist it.My condition involves the central nervous system.I haven't needed antibiotics for a serious infection in the last week.I have had cancer before, but it was either early stage, treated non-melanoma skin cancer, in situ cancer, or I've been cancer-free for 2 years.I am willing to use effective birth control or practice true abstinence.My kidney function, measured by creatinine clearance, is adequate.My platelet count is at least 75,000 and was tested within the last 14 days without transfusions.I still have mild side effects from my previous WM treatment.Your bilirubin level must be within a certain range, unless you have Gilbert's syndrome, in which case a different bilirubin level is allowed.Women who can have children must have a recent negative pregnancy test before joining the study.My liver is not working well (Child-Pugh B or C).My liver function tests are within normal limits.I am willing to go back to the hospital where I enrolled for my check-ups.

Frequently Asked Questions
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."
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."
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)."
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."
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."
