This is an interventional treatment trial for Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia

Eligibility Criteria

20 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Clinicopathological diagnosis of Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia (WM) in accordance with the consensus panel of the second International Workshop on Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia (IWWM)
  • Japanese participants with treatment naïve or relapsed/refractory WM

  • Hematology and biochemical values within protocol-defined limits
  • Female participants of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and agree to use highly effective methods of contraception while taking study drug. Women of childbearing potential must be practicing a highly effective, preferably user independent method of birth control during treatment with any drug in this study and for up to 12 months after the last dose of rituximab, 1 month after last dose of ibrutinib. Male participants must use an effective barrier method of contraception during the study and after receiving the last dose of ibrutinib, and for up to 12 months after last dose of rituximab if sexually active with a female of childbearing potential
  • Must sign an informed consent form (ICF) indicating that he or she understands the purpose of, and procedures required for, the study and is willing to participate in the study. Participants must be willing and able to adhere to the prohibitions and restrictions specified in this protocol
  • Must be willing and able to adhere to the lifestyle restrictions specified in this protocol

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Involvement of the central nervous system by WM
  • Prior exposure to ibrutinib or other Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) inhibitors
  • Rituximab treatment within the last 12 months before the first dose of study intervention
  • Received any WM-related therapy <=30 days prior to first administration of study treatment

  • Inability or difficulty swallowing capsules, malabsorption syndrome, or any disease or medical condition significantly affecting gastrointestinal function
  • Stroke or intracranial hemorrhage within 12 months prior to enrollment
  • Currently active, clinically significant cardiovascular disease
  • Requires treatment with a strong cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A inhibitor

  • Any contraindication to ibrutinib or rituximab including hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients of ibrutinib or rituximab per local prescribing information
  • Received an investigational intervention (including investigational vaccines) or used an invasive investigational medical device within 4 weeks before the planned first dose of study intervention or is currently enrolled in an investigational study
  • Any condition for which, in the opinion of the investigator, participation would not be in the best interest of the participant (eg [for example], compromise the wellbeing) or that could prevent, limit, or confound the protocol-specified assessments
  • Employee of the investigator or study site, with direct involvement in the proposed study or other studies under the direction of that investigator or study site, as well as family members of the employees or the investigator

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Ibrutinib + Rituximab

Arm Description

Participants will receive ibrutinib 420 milligram (mg) orally, once daily, from Day 1 of Week 1 until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity in combination with rituximab 375 milligram per square meter (mg/m^2) intravenously (IV) on Day 1 of Weeks 1 to 4 and Weeks 17 to 20.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Overall Response Rate (ORR) According to the Modified Sixth International Workshop on Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia (IWWM) Criteria
ORR is defined as the percentage of participants achieving a best overall response of confirmed complete response (CR), very good partial response (VGPR) or partial response (PR) according to the modified sixth IWWM criteria (National Comprehensive Cancer Network [NCCN] version 2, 2019), as assessed by the Independent Review Committee (IRC). CR: Immunoglobulin M (IgM) in normal range, disappearance of monoclonal protein by immunofixation, no histologic evidence of bone marrow involvement, resolution of any adenopathy/organomegaly (if present at baseline) along with no signs or symptoms attributable to Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia (WM); VGPR and PR: greater than or equal to (>=) 90 percent (%) (for VGPR) and >=50% (for PR) reduction of serum IgM, decrease in adenopathy/organomegaly (if present at baseline) on physical examination or computerized tomography (CT) scan, no new symptoms or signs of active disease.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Progression Free Survival (PFS)
PFS was defined as duration from the date of initial dose of ibrutinib to the date of first documented evidence of disease progression or death, whichever occurred first regardless of the use of subsequent antineoplastic therapy prior to documented disease progression or death.
Plasma Concentrations of Ibrutinib
Plasma concentrations of ibrutinib were reported.
Plasma Concentrations of PCI-45227
Plasma concentrations of PCI-45227 were reported.
Number of Participants With Myeloid Differentiation Primary Response Gene 88 (MYD88) Biomarker
Number of participants with MYD88 biomarker were reported.
Number of Participants With C-X-C Chemokine Receptor Type 4 (CXCR-4) Biomarker
Number of participants with CXCR-4 biomarker were reported.
Number of Participants With Treatment- Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
An adverse event was defined as any untoward medical event that occurred in a participant administered an investigational product, and it does not necessarily indicate only events with clear causal relationship with the relevant investigational product. TEAEs were defined as any AE that occurred at or after the initial administration of study intervention through the day of last dose plus 30 days.
