Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the very good partial response (VGPR) or better rate in participants with Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM). The names of the study drugs involved in this study are as follows: zanubrutinib, bendamustine, and rituximab.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia, a type of cancer that affects white blood cells and can cause anemia, thickened blood, and other issues. The study is seeking participants who have not been treated before.
What is being tested?
The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a combination treatment using zanubrutinib, bendamustine, and rituximab in achieving a very good partial response or better in patients with WM.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include nausea, fatigue, low blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, allergic reactions during infusion treatments, and possibly others.
