概要
METHODS
All 3 patients underwent bone marrow biopsy showing WM, with MYD88 L265P mutated and CXCR4S338X wild type, and were started on ibrutinib 420 mg/die. Patients were assessed at baseline, at 3-6-9 months, and at 12 months in 2 patients with a longer follow-up, using Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment (INCAT) Disability Score, INCAT sensory sum score, and Medical Research Council sum score. The modified International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale was performed in 2 patients, whereas it was not used in the patient with Parkinson disease as a major comorbidity. Responders were considered the patients improving by at least one point in 2 clinical scales.
