Brief Summary:
Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia (lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, WM) remains incurable with limited therapeutic options and notably absent FDA approved therapy with any WM indication. Therefore, there is a need to identify new therapeutic agents for WM patients both in the upfront and relapsed/refractory setting. The purpose of this research study is to assess the efficacy of perifosine in patients with relapsed or refractory WM.
Detailed Description:
Perifosine is a drug that in particular inhibits Akt thought to be important for initiation and progression of malignancies, specifically in lymphomas. In laboratory experiments of WM and lymphoma cell lines, perifosine has shown to have cytotoxic and anti-proliferative activity as a single agent. This drug has been used in clinical research studies of other types of cancers including soft tissue sarcomas, head and neck cancers and prostate cancer. This study uses a two-stage design to evaluate efficacy of perifosine based on overall response (OR). The null and alternative OR rates are 20% and 40%. If 4 or more patients enrolled in the stage one cohort (n=17 patients) achieve OR than accrual will proceed to stage two (n=20 patients). If fewer than 10 ORs are observed then the regimen will be considered ineffective.
