EU CTIS ID: 2024-511929-60-00
What this study is testing
explore the efficacy of Carfilzomib in combination with Ibrutinib compared to Ibrutinib alone in patients with treatment naïve or relapsed WM
- Therapeutic exploratory (Phase II)
A plain-language read of the study's public EU CTIS listing. The study team confirms the details.
Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- Proven clinicopathological diagnosis of WM as defined by consensus panel one of the Second International Workshop on WM (IWWM)[66]
- Each patient must sign an informed consent form in a fluent language of the patient indicating that he or she understands the purpose of and procedures required for the study and are willing to participate in the study. Patients must be willing and able to adhere to the prohibitions and restrictions specified in this protocol.
- De novo or relapsed / refractory WM independent of the genotype
- Patients must have at least one of the following criteria to start study treatment as partly defined by consensus panel criteria from the Seventh IWWM[5
- World Health Organization (WHO) / ECOG performance status ≤ 2.
- Left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 40% as assessed by transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE).
You likely can't join if
- Previous treatments with following substances: o Prior exposure to Ibrutinib or other BTK inhibitors. o Prior exposure to Carfilzomib. Prior exposure to other proteasome inhibitors is allowed if the patients were not refractory, that is, had a remission (at least minor response) duration of ≥ 6 months. Prior plasmapheresis and short-term administration of corticosteroids ≤ 6 weeks administered at a dose equivalent to ≤ 20 mg/day of prednisone is also allowed.
- Glucocorticoid therapy within 14 days prior to randomization that exceeds a cumulative dose of 160 mg of Dexamethasone or equivalent dose of other corticosteroids.
- Focal radiation therapy within 7 days prior to randomization. Radiation therapy to an extended field involving a significant volume of bone marrow within 21 days prior to randomization (i.e. prior radiation must have been to less than 30% of the bone marrow
- Contraindication to any of the required concomitant drugs or supportive treatments, including hypersensitivity to antiviral drugs.
- Hypersensitivity to the active substances or to any of the excipients of the investigational medicinal products.
- Active infection within 14 days prior to randomization requiring systemic antibiotics, antiviral (except antiviral therapy directed at hepatitis B) or antifungal agents. Such infection must be fully resolved prior to randomization.
