Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Overall Response Rate (ORR) According to the Modified Sixth International Workshop on Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia (IWWM) Criteria
Up to 1 year 11 months

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.

1 year progression free survival

Frequently asked questions about Ibrutinib/ Bortezomib/ Rituximab

What is Ibrutinib used for?

Ibrutinib is an investigational small molecule being studied for use in DLBCL, lymphocytic leukemia, graft vs host disease, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, B-cell lymphoma, and mantle cell lymphoma. It is currently in Phase 1 clinical development.

What does Ibrutinib target?

Ibrutinib is a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor. It is being studied in oncology for conditions including DLBCL, lymphocytic leukemia, graft vs host disease, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, B-cell lymphoma, and mantle cell lymphoma.

Who makes Ibrutinib?

Ibrutinib is being developed by Johnson & Johnson, which trades under the ticker JNJ. The drug is currently in Phase 1 clinical trials for multiple oncology indications.

What phase is Ibrutinib in?

Ibrutinib is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by the FDA. It is being studied for DLBCL, lymphocytic leukemia, graft vs host disease, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, B-cell lymphoma, and mantle cell lymphoma.

What clinical trials is Ibrutinib in?

Ibrutinib has completed several Phase 1 trials, including NCT02390609, NCT02556892, NCT02638116, and NCT02877225. These studies evaluated bioavailability, drug interactions, and bioequivalence in healthy adults and patients with lymphocytic leukemia.

Is Ibrutinib the same as Ibrutinib Oral Tablet?

Ibrutinib is also known as Ibrutinib Oral Tablet and Ibrutinib / Bortezomib / Rituximab. These names refer to the same drug or combination being studied in clinical trials.
