Trial Information

A Phase IIA Trial Testing the Efficacy of Bortezomib (Velcade(R)) in Patients With Advanced Waldenström Macroglobulinemia


Open, prospective, multicenter, non controlled phase IIA trial

Primary objectives Evaluation of the efficacy and safety of Velcade in monotherapy for
patients with advanced stage Waldenström Macroglobulinemia.

Secondary objectives Evaluation of the activity of the association of High Dose
Dexamethasone (HD DXM) with Velcade for patients resistant to Velcade Alone For all patients

- Overall survival

- Safety

- Quality of life

- Duration of response

sample size: With type I error alpha of 5% and type II error beta of 20% and a two-sided
test, the number of patients needed in this study is 34 Number of centers: 28 Centers
participating to the French cooperative group CLL/WM
