thalidomide and Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia

thalidomide has been researched along with Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia in 39 studies

Thalidomide: A piperidinyl isoindole originally introduced as a non-barbiturate hypnotic, but withdrawn from the market due to teratogenic effects. It has been reintroduced and used for a number of immunological and inflammatory disorders. Thalidomide displays immunosuppressive and anti-angiogenic activity. It inhibits release of TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR-ALPHA from monocytes, and modulates other cytokine action.
thalidomide : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of R- and S-thalidomide.
2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione : A dicarboximide that is isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione in which the hydrogen attached to the nitrogen is substituted by a 2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl group.

Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia: A lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by pleomorphic B-LYMPHOCYTES including PLASMA CELLS, with increased levels of monoclonal serum IMMUNOGLOBULIN M. There is lymphoplasmacytic cells infiltration into bone marrow and often other tissues, also known as lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. Clinical features include ANEMIA; HEMORRHAGES; and hyperviscosity.

Trial Outcomes

Objective Response Rate

Response determinations were made using modified consensus panel criteria from the Third International Workshop on WM, and response rates were determined on an evaluable basis. A complete response was defined as having resolution of all symptoms, normalization of serum IgM levels with complete disappearance of IgM paraprotein by immunofixation, and resolution of any adenopathy or splenomegaly. Patients achieving a partial response and a minor response were defined as achieving a more than or equal to 50% and more than or equal to 25% reduction in serum IgM levels, respectively. Patients with stable disease were defined as having less than 25% change in serum IgM levels, in the absence of new or increasing adenopathy or splenomegaly and/or other progressive signs or symptoms of WM. Progressive disease was defined as a greater than 25% increase in serum IgM level occurred from the lowest attained response value or progression of clinically significant disease-related symptom(s).

Major Response Rate

Major response rate is the number of participants who achieve at a PR or better. A PR or better will be defined as achieving a >50% reduction in serum IgM levels. (NCT00142168)
Timeframe: 34.3 months

Interventionparticipants (Number)

Overall Response

Overall response is the total number of participants who respond to therapy. Patients achieving a complete response (CR) will be defined as having achieved resolution of all symptoms, normalization of their serum IgM levels with complete disappearance of their IgM paraprotein by immunofixation, and resolution of any adenopathy or splenomegaly during any point while in this study and normal bone marrow biopsy. Patients achieving a partial response (PR) and a minor response (MR) will be defined as achieving a > 50% and > 25% reduction in serum IgM levels, respectively, during any point while in this study. Patients with stable disease (SD) will be defined as having < 25% change in serum IgM levels, in the absence of new or increasing adenopathy or splenomegaly and/or other progressive signs or symptoms of WMduring any point while in this study.
