Waldenstrms Macroglobulinemia Wm

The purpose of the project is to set up a national, prospective, longitudinal, multicenter registry platform to document uniform data on characteristics, molecular diagnostics, treatment and course of disease, to collect patient-reported outcomes and to establish a decentralized biobank for patients with hematological malignancies in Germany.

Current retrospective studies have demonstrated that achieving deep remission following treatment for Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) correlates with prolonged survival. While the bendamustine-rituximab (BR) regimen or single-agent zanubrutinib are currently recommended as first-line therapies, neither achieves optimal deep remission. Additionally, prolonged zanubrutinib monotherapy may lead to cumulative adverse effects. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the bendamustine-rituximab-zanubrutinib combination regimen as a first-line treatment option for MYD88-mutated WM patients.
