BDR

back to top

BDR: Bortezomib, Dexamethasone, Rituximab

Regimen #1

Study Evidence
Treon et al. 2009 (WMCTG 05-180) Phase II

Treon et al. 2009 did not clearly indicate the schedule for bortezomib, but it is inferred that this is what was meant.

Supportive medications:

  • Valacyclovir (Valtrex) 1 g PO once per day or Acyclovir (Zovirax) 400 mg PO twice per day recommended for shingles prophylaxis
  • "The use of diphenhydramine, acetaminophen and, at the treating physician's discretion, corticosteroids and/or ranitidine or cimetidine was permitted for rituximab infusion prophylaxis. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, erythropoietin, and transfusions of packed RBCs or platelets were permitted to support patient's counts during therapy."
  • "The prophylactic use of plasmapheresis was recommended for patients demonstrating an IgM level of = 5,000 mg/dL before the administration of rituximab, given the potential for rituximab-mediated IgM flare and aggravation of hyperviscosity."

4 cycles followed by a 12-week pause and then 4 additional cycles spaced 12 weeks apart

The authors advise this approach "in hopes of reducing the incidence of peripheral neuropathy". The length of the initial cycles was not specified in the paper.

Regimen #2

Study Evidence
Dimopoulos et al. 2013 Phase II

Cycle 1

21-day cycle x 1, followed by:

Cycles 2 to 5

Cycles 2 and 5 only

Supportive medications:

35-day cycle x 4 cycles

Study Evidence
Furman et al. 2011 Phase II

This study used two dosing schemas; per the authors, "A higher dose of OFA appeared to be more effective in pts previously exposed to R or with baseline IgM = 4.0 g/dL. Further study of OFA in WM is warranted."

  • Ofatumumab (Arzerra) 300 mg IV once on week 1 and 1000 mg IV once per week on weeks 2 to 4 OR 300 mg IV once on week 1 and 2000 mg IV once per week on weeks 2 to 5

4-week or 5-week course
