Dr Dimopolous presents results at EHA 23 from the iNNOVATE trial of rituximab with or without oral BTK-inhibitor ibrutinib to Waldenströms Macroglobulinemia.

He outlines the study design, with patients randomised 1:1 to receive ibrutinib or placebo orally until disease progression, and the improved progression-free survival of those patients receiving the added therapy.

No unexpected toxicities were reported in the trial, and response rates exceed those of patients receiving rituximab based therapy alone.
