Waldenström Macroglobulinemia: Targeted Agents Taking Center Stage.

Author: CastilloJorge J, SarosiekShayna

Journal ArticleAn article published in an academic or professional journal that reports original research or scholarly analysis.
ReviewAn article that critically examines existing research on a particular topic and summarizes the current state of knowledge in the field.

Overview

This review discusses the use of targeted agents, particularly Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors, to treat Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM). BTK inhibitors, such as ibrutinib and zanubrutinib, have demonstrated rapid, deep, and durable responses in WM patients, comparable to chemoimmunotherapy. While the review highlights the benefits of these agents, it also discusses their potential adverse events, such as bleeding and cardiac arrhythmias. The review also explores the potential of other targeted agents, including BCL2 antagonists and non-covalent BTK inhibitors.
