Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare hematological disorder with an annual incidence of about 3 per million. Its clinical manifestations are diverse and non - specific, and approximately 30% of patients are asymptomatic, making early diagnosis challenging. This paper reports a 73-year-old female who was admitted to the hospital due to atrial fibrillation.

As the treatment paradigm for Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) continues to evolve, the debate surrounding the prioritization of depth of response versus disease control as therapeutic goals gains significant relevance. However, the impact of depth of response from fixed-duration therapy on overall survival (OS) was unclear. This multicenter study evaluated the prognostic impact of depth of response using a landmark survival analysis.

BTK inhibitor have shown promising outcomes, yet achieving deep remission (VGPR or CR) remains challenging and time-limited therapy with proteasome-inhibition has not been reported. We conducted a phase 2 clinical trial (NCT04463953) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combining zanubrutinib, ixazomib and dexamethasone (ZID) in newly diagnosed WM patients.

Over the past decade, Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) has emerged as a pivotal therapeutic target for B-cell malignancies and autoimmune diseases, given its essential role in B-cell development and function. Dysregulation of BTK signalling is implicated in a range of hematologic cancers, including Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia (WM), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). The development of BTK inhibitors (BTKIs), starting with ibrutinib, has revolutionized the treatment of these malignancies by inhibiting B-cell receptor (BCR) signalling and inducing apoptosis in malignant B-cells.

Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) have shown prominent clinical efficacy in patients with B cell malignancies, such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia, mantle cell lymphoma, diffuse large B cell lymphoma, and Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. Nevertheless, numerous factors contribute to BTKi resistance, encompassing genetic mutations, chromosomal aberrations, dysregulation of protein expression, tumor microenvironment, and metabolic reprogramming. Accordingly, potential therapeutic strategies have been explored to surmount BTKi resistance, including noncovalent BTKi, BTK proteolysis-targeting chimeras, and combination therapies.
