Study Summary

This phase II trial studies the effects of venetoclax and rituximab in comparison to ibrutinib and rituximab or zanubrutinib in treating patients with previously untreated Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia/lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody. It binds to a protein called CD20, which is found on B cells (a type of white blood cell) and some types of cancer cells. This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Zanubrutinib, a type of tyrosine kinase inhibitor, blocks a protein called BTK, which may help keep cancer cells from growing. Giving venetoclax and rituximab may work better in treating patients with previously untreated Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia than ibrutinib with rituximab or zanubrutinib alone.

Primary Outcome

A Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test will be performed to compare the VGPR in the ibrutinib plus rituximab or zanubrutinib alone arm and the venetoclax plus rituximab arm accounting for the stratification factor of prior rituximab, and VGPR or better rate will be reported in each study arm with a binomial confidence interval.
