Dasatinib In Waldenström Macroglobulinemia
Dasatinib In Waldenström Macroglobulinemia
This is Phase I pilot, single center study designed to explore the safety of Dasatinib in
 symptomatic Waldenström Macroglobulinemia participants who are progressing on ibrutinib
 therapy with BTK Cys481 or PLCG2 mutations
This research study is a Pilot Study, which is the first time investigators are examining
 this drug in patients with Waldenström Macroglobulinemia who have progressed on ibrutinib.

 Patients who fulfill eligibility criteria will be entered into the trial to receive Dasatinib

 After the screening procedures confirm participation in the research study:

 The participant will be given a study drug-dosing calendar for each treatment cycle. In this
 research study, the investigators are planning to give Dasatinib, which is a targeted therapy
 intended to treat cancer by binding to the target protein called BTK.

 -  BTK is believed to be an important target for treatment of patients with specific gene
 mutations. Some patients who have disease progression after taking ibrutinib have these
 gene mutations.

 -  Making treatment decisions based on genetic testing is investigational, and the FDA has
 not approved this genetic testing.

 The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved Dasatinib for Waldenström
 Macroglobulinemia but it has been approved for other uses.

 Dasatinib is produced by Bristol-Myers Squibb.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Participants must meet the following criteria on screening examination to be eligible
 to participate. Screening evaluations including consent, physical exam, and laboratory
 assessments will be done within 30 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1. Bone marrow biopsy &
 aspirate, and CT C/A/P will be done within 90 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1.

 -  Clinicopathological diagnosis of Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia

 -  Known tumor expression of mutated MYD88 performed by a CLIA certified laboratory.

 -  Participants must have a BTKCys481 and/or PLCγ2 mutation. Genomic alterations must be
 confirmed via sequencing performed at NeoGenomics Laboratories

 -  At least one previous therapy, with ibrutinib as the most recent treatment.
 Participants may remain on ibrutinib therapy during screening. A 1 day washout before
 starting dasatinib is required.

 the Second International Workshop on WM [26]. One or more of the following:

 -  Constitutional symptoms

 -  Progressive or symptomatic lymphadenopathy or splenomegaly

 -  Hemoglobin <10 g/dL

 -  Platelet count <100 k/uL

 -  Measurable disease, defined as presence of immunoglobulin M (IgM) paraprotein with a
 minimum serum IgM level of > 2 times the upper limit normal.

 -  ECOG performance status ≤2 (Karnofsky ≥60%, see Appendix A)

 -  Women of childbearing potential: Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must agree
 to use two reliable forms of contraception simultaneously or have or will have
 complete abstinence from heterosexual intercourse during the following time periods
 related to this study: 1) while participating in the study; and 2) for at least 28
 days after discontinuation from the study. FCBP must be referred to a qualified
 provider of contraceptive methods if needed.

 -  Men must agree to use a latex condom during sexual contact with a female of
 childbearing potential (FCBP) even if they have had a successful vasectomy.

 -  Participants must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below:

 -  Absolute neutrophil count ≥500/ uL (Growth factor not permitted)
