Breaking News from the WM Front (2019 Ed Forum)
Explains why CR is so uncommon in WM, even with targeted therapy, what are the WM-centric toxicities with commonly used therapies, how pro-survival signaling of WM cells is driven by mutated MYD88 in WM, how CXCR4 mutations permit ongoing pro-survival signaling of Wm cells by CXCL12 and makes CXCR4 resistant to ibrutinib and the impact of CXCR4 on WM response and progression free survival (PFS). Reviews studies with ibrutinib, venetoclax, a combination of both drugs, zanubrutinib, acalabrutinib, and incorporating other novel treatments to eradicate residual or resistant disease. Also explains what the knowledge gaps are for developing more effective treatments for patients with WM without MYD88 mutations. Bing Neel Syndrome, and WM-related P/N also.

Genomic & Treatment Advances in Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia
Zachary Hunter, PhD, Guang Yang, PhD, Steve Treon, MD, PhD – Dana Farber Cancer Institute, 2018 Ed Forum
Three researchers discuss how MYD88 and CXCR4 mutations are common in WM with MYD88 activating BTK and HCK in WM cells, both targets of ibrutinib. Ibrutinib produces high response rates and durable responses in relapsed and refractory WM. No complete responses. Mutated CXCR4, aberrant IRAK and BCL2 signaling contribute to intrinsic resistance against ibrutinib. Multiple BTK mutations are common with acquired ibrutinib resistance and trigger ERK1/2 survival signaling. Novel strategies to overcome intrinsic and acquired resistance to ibrutinib, including targeting CXCR4, ERK, IRAK, and BCL2 signaling.

Dr. Treon on the Evolution of BTK Inhibitors in Waldenström Macroglobulinemia
July 14, 2020: Dr. Treon discusses the role of BTK inhibitors in WM. The advent of BTK inhibitors has led to tremendous progress in the treatment of patients with WM.. BTK inhibitors were developed as a result of identifying MYD88 mutations, which are present in more than 95% of patients with WM.. MYD88 activates BTK through the hematopoietic cell kinase protein. BTK inhibitors include ibrutinib (Imbruvica), acalabrutinib (Calquence), and zanubrutinib (Brukinsa). Additionally, Japanese studies have shown that a fourth BTK inhibitor, tirabrutinib (Velexbru), has shown activity in this patient population. Moreover, the agents have all demonstrated high overall response rates in the 90% range in patients with treatment-naïve, relapsed/refractory, or heavily pretreated WM, concludes Treon.

EMN 2018 | WGS: advancing Waldenström’s diagnosis, prognosis & treatment
The discovery of mutational events in cancer are crucial to the development of efficacious targeted therapies. Here, Steven Treon, MD, PhD, of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA, passionately discusses the genomic advances in Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia (WM), owing to the discovery of the MYD88 and CXCR4 mutations. Dr Treon highlights how these mutations have enabled better understanding of the different forms and metastatic progression of WM, aiding the development of targeted therapies that are revolutionizing the meaning of progression-free survival. This interview was recorded at the 1st European Myeloma Network (EMN) Meeting, in Turin, Italy.
