Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of pomalidomide in treating patients with Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Pomalidomide may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of pomalidomide in patients with relapsed or refractory Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the safety and toxicity profile of pomalidomide in patients with relapsed or refractory Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia.

II. To evaluate the efficacy of pomalidomide in patients with relapsed or refractory Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive pomalidomide orally (PO) on days 1-28 or 1-21. Courses repeat every 21 or 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months.
