Conditions: Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia

Summary: the purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ibrutinib based on overall response rate (orr) (partial response \[pr\] or better) by investigator assessment per the modified consensus response criteria from the sixth international workshop on waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (iwwm) (nccn 2019), in chinese participants with relapsed or refractory waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia.
