E.2 Objective of the trial

E.2.1

Main objective of the trial

The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate whether the addition of Bortezomib to the combination regimen Dexamethasone/Rituximab/Cyclophosphamide (B-DRC) improves PFS compared to DRC alone.

E.2.2

Secondary objectives of the trial

To compare the efficacy and safety of bortezomib in combination with DRC using other parameters of efficacy:
- Response rates (CR, VGPR, PR, MR) and overall response (ORR) four weeks after the end of induction therapy
- Best response
- Time to best response
- Time to first response
- Time to treatment failure
- Remission Duration
- Cause specific survival
- Overall survival

E.2.3

Trial contains a sub-study

E.3

Principal inclusion criteria

A) Clinicopathological diagnosis of WM as defined by consensus panel one of the Second International Workshop on WM. Pathological diagnosis has to occur before study inclusion and randomization. In addition, pathological specimens have to be sent to the national pathological reference center at study inclusion and randomization. The positivity for CD20 can be assumed from any previous bone marrow immunohistochemistry or flow cytometry analysis performed up to 6 months prior to enrollment. Inclusion in the study will be based on morphological and immunological criteria. Immunophenotyping will be performed in each center and saved locally. Flow cytometry of bone marrow and blood cells will include at least one double staining and assess the expression of the following antigens: surface immunoglobulin, CD19, CD20, CD5, CD10 and CD23. Patients are eligible if tumor cells express the following antigens: CD19, CD20, and if they are negative for CD5, CD10 and CD23 expression. Patients with tumor cells positive for CD5 and/or CD23 and morphologically similar to WM cells may be included after ruling out other low-grade B-cell malignancies.
B) Patients must have at least one of the following critera to initiate treatment as defined by “Consensus Panel Two” recommendations from the Second International Workshop on Waldenström Macroglobulinemia.
a) Recurrent fever, night sweats, weight loss, fatigue
b) Hyperviscosity
c) Lympadenopathy which is either symptomatic or bulky (≥5cm in maximum diameter)
d) Symptomatic hepatomegaly and/or splenomegaly
e) Symptomatic organomegaly and/or organ or tissue infiltration
f) Peripheral neuropathy due to WM
g) Symptomatic cryoglobulinemia
h) Cold agglutinin anemia
i) IgM related immune hemolytic anemia and/or thrombocytopenia
j) Nephropathy related to WM
k) Amyloidosis related to WM
l) Hemoglobin ≤10g/dL
m) Platelet count <100x109/L
n) Serum monoclonal protein >5g/dL, even with no overt clinical symptoms
C) Cumulative illness rating scale (CIRS) score less than 6 (see annex).
D) World Health Organization (WHO)/ECOG performance status 0 to 2.
E) Other criteria
a) Age ≥ 18 years
b) Life expectancy >3 months.
c) Baseline platelet count ≥50x109/L (if not due to BM infiltration by the lymphoma), absolute neutrophil count ≥0.75x109/L.
d) Meet the following pretreatment laboratory criteria at the Screening visit conducted within 28 days of study enrollment:
- ASAT (SGOT): ≤3 times the upper limit of institutional laboratory normal value
- ALAT (SGPT): ≤3 times the upper limit of institutional laboratory normal value
- Total Bilirubin: ≤20 mg/L or 2 times the upper limit of institutional laboratory normal value, unless clearly related to the disease (except if due to Gilbert’s syndrome)
- Serum creatinine ≤ 2mg/dl
F) Premenopausal fertile females must agree to use a highly effective method of birth control for the duration of the therapy up to 6 months after end of therapy. A highly effective method of birth control is defined as those which result in a low failure rate (i.e. less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly such as implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some IUDs, sexual abstinence or vasectomised partner.
G) Men must agree not to father a child for the duration of therapy and 6 months after and must agree to advice a female partner to use a highly effective method of birth control.
H) Voluntary written informed consent before performance of any study-related procedure not part of normal medical care, with the understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the subject at any time without prejudice to future medical care.

E.4
