Detailed Description
In Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) conventional chemotherapy induces only low complete remission (CR) rates and responses of short duration compared to other indolent lymphomas. Thus innovative approaches are needed which combine excellent activity and tolerability in patients with WM, who are mostly of advanced age. Today, chemotherapy in combination with the anti-cluster of differentiation (CD) 20 antibody rituximab is still the backbone of treatment in patients with WM and is recommended as first line in national and international treatment guidelines. With the approval of Ibrutinib by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) 2015 for patients with relapsed WM or for patients not eligible for chemotherapy with treatment naïve WM treatment landscape has changed in this lymphoma subtype and there is an urgent need to evaluate to which extent chemotherapy-free approaches add clinical benefit to the patient. The treatment in the "European Consortium for Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia" (ECWM)-2 trial will test, whether the chemotherapy-free approach, which is given orally (ibrutinib) and subcutaneously (bortezomib and rituximab from cycle 2 onwards) (B-RI) will approach the efficacy of chemotherapy containing treatment concepts, but avoids chemotherapy associated toxicity. From the perspective of single agent ibrutinib, this regimen tests whether ibrutinib can be further optimized by adding rituximab and bortezomib. The combination of rituximab and ibrutinib was tested in comparison to rituximab/placebo in a large international phase III trial on behalf of the European Consortium for Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia in relapsed and first line WM, and results were recently published: in this trial no unexpected toxicity of the combination ibrutinib/rituximab was reported. Furthermore, ibrutinib/rituximab was significantly superior to rituximab/placebo with regard to response rates and PFS. From the perspective of the established rituximab/bortezomib regimen, the combination of B-RI will evaluate whether adding ibrutinib to this combination will add any benefit for the patient.
To this end, the aim of the study is to assess the toxicity and efficacy of B-RI in an exploratory phase II trial.

Description
Inclusion Criteria
- Clinicopathological diagnosis of WM as defined by consensus panel one of the Second International Workshop on WM, diagnosed by a reference pathology center. Pathological diagnosis has to occur before study inclusion. In addition, pathological specimens have to be sent to the national pathological reference center at study inclusion. The positivity for Cluster of Differentiation (CD) 20 can be assumed from any previous bone marrow immunohistochemistry or flow cytometry analysis performed up to 6 months prior to enrollment. Inclusion in the study will be based on morphological and immunological criteria. Immunophenotyping will be performed in each center and saved locally. Flow cytometry of bone marrow and blood cells will include at least one double staining and assess the expression of the following antigens: surface immunoglobulin, CD19, CD20, CD5, CD10 and CD23. Patients are eligible if tumor cells express the following antigens: CD19, CD20, and if they are negative for CD5, CD10 and CD23 expression. Patients with tumor cells positive for CD5 and/or CD23 and morphologically similar to WM cells may be included after ruling out other low-grade B-cell malignancies.
Presence of at least one criterion for initiation of therapy, according to the 2nd Workshop on WM:
- Recurrent fever, night sweats, weight loss, fatigue (at least one of them)
- Hyperviscosity
- Lymphadenopathy which is either symptomatic or bulky (≥5 cm in maximum diameter)
- Symptomatic hepatomegaly and/or splenomegaly
- Symptomatic organomegaly and/or organ or tissue infiltration
- Peripheral neuropathy due to WM
- Symptomatic cryoglobulinemia
- Cold agglutinin anemia
- Immunoglobulin M (IgM) related immune hemolytic anemia and/or thrombocytopenia
- Nephropathy related to WM
- Amyloidosis related to WM
- Hemoglobin ≤10g/dL
- Platelet count <100x109/L
- Serum monoclonal protein >5g/dL, even with no overt clinical symptoms
- Low or absent IgG serum levels
- World Health Organization (WHO)/Eastern Co-operative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 to 2.
Other criteria:
- Age ≥ than 18 years
- Life expectancy >3 months.
- Baseline platelet count >100x10exponential (E)9/L if not due to bone marrow (BM) involvement by the lymphoma, independent of any transfusions
- absolute neutrophil count >1x10E9/L independent of growth factor support.
Meet the following pretreatment laboratory criteria at the Screening visit conducted within 28 days of study enrollment:
- aspartate aminotransferase (AST): <3 times the upper limit of institutional laboratory normal value
- alanine aminotransferase (ALAT): <3 times the upper limit of institutional laboratory normal value
- Total Bilirubin: < 1.5 times the upper limit of institutional laboratory normal value, unless clearly related to the disease (except if due to Gilbert's syndrome)

- Premenopausal fertile females must agree to use a highly effective method of birth control for the duration of the therapy up to 6 months after end of therapy. A highly effective method of birth control is defined as those which result in a low failure rate (i.e. less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly such as implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some intrauterine devices (IUDs), sexual abstinence or vasectomised partner.
