A 74-Year-Old Man With Waldenstr öm Macroglobulinemia and Progressive Dyspnea
Chest. 2024 Feb;165(2):e39-e43. doi: 10.1016/j.chest.2023.08.004.ABSTRACTA 74-year-old man presented to our department with progressive dyspnea on exertion over the last year. The patient did not report any other symptoms. He had previously smoked with a 60 pack-year history. He worked in an office and did not report any environmental, occupational, or domestic exposures. His history included asymptomatic Waldenström's macroglobulinemia that was diagnosed 18 months before respiratory symptoms. He was not receiving any treatment and was monitored regularly by the hematology department.PMID:38336442 | DOI:10.1016/j.chest.20...

Russell body duodenitis: a rare condition
Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2024 Feb 2. doi: 10.17235/reed.2024.10270/2024. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRussell bodies are accumulations of immunoglobulins within hyperstimulated plasma cells of the intestinal mucosa associated with chronic inflammation of benign progression, but may be confused with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, MALT lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or "signet-ring" cells, among others. There are few cases of gastric involvement, but duodenal involvement is even rarer with less than 10 published cases. Endoscopic examination with quality biopsies and anatomopathologic analysis with immunohistochemistry are essential t...

Waldenstr öm Macroglobulinemia/Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma, Version 2.2024, NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology
J Natl Compr Canc Netw. 2024 Jan;22(1D):e240001. doi: 10.6004/jnccn.2024.0001.ABSTRACTThe treatment of Waldenström macroglobulinemia/lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (WM/LPL) has evolved to include several new options. The NCCN Guidelines for WM/LPL provide a framework on which to base decisions regarding diagnosis, treatment, assessment of response to treatment, and follow-up of both newly diagnosed and previously treated WM/LPL.PMID:38244272 | DOI:10.6004/jnccn.2024.0001 (Source: Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network : JNCCN)

Phase I study of the Syk inhibitor sovleplenib in relapsed or refractory mature B-cell tumors
Haematologica. 2024 Jan 18. doi: 10.3324/haematol.2022.282401. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSovleplenib (HMPL-523) is a selective spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) inhibitor with antitumor activity in preclinical models of B-cell malignancy. We conducted a dose-escalation and dose-expansion phase I study of sovleplenib in patients with relapsed/refractory mature Bcell tumors. Dose escalation followed a 3+3 design; patients received oral sovleplenib (200-800 mg once daily [q.d.] or 200 mg twice daily [b.i.d.], 28-day cycles). During dose expansion, patients were enrolled into four cohorts per lymphoma classification and treated...

Ibrutinib Efficacy, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics in Chinese Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Waldenstr öm's Macroglobulinemia: A Multicenter, Single-Arm, Phase 4 Study
CONCLUSIONS: Ibrutinib demonstrated durable responses in Chinese patients with r/r WM. Treatment was well tolerated with no new safety signals compared with the pivotal global studies. Ibrutinib exposure was also comparable between Chinese and non-Chinese patients.TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT04042376.PMID:38079089 | DOI:10.1007/s12325-023-02720-w (Source: Adv Data)

Waldenstr öm Macroglobulinemia: Targeted Agents Taking Center Stage
AbstractWith the worldwide approval of the oral covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors ibrutinib and zanubrutinib for treating patients with Waldenstr öm macroglobulinemia (WM), targeted agents have certainly taken center stage in the therapeutic landscape of WM. This review discusses the biological and clinical data supporting current and up-and-coming targeted agents in WM. Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors induce fast, deep, and durable respon ses in patients with WM, comparable to chemoimmunotherapy; however, there is a glaring absence of comparative studies between these regimens. The high response and prog...
