Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Number of patients who become transfusion-free after Bortezomib therapy. [ Time Frame: After 3 months from study entry. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Cumulative proportion of patients transfusion-free at three months after Bortezomib therapy.

  • Number of patients who have never been transfused with a >2g hemoglobin rise compared to baseline. [ Time Frame: After 3 months from study entry. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Number of CTC grade 3 and 4 adverse events. [ Time Frame: After 12 months from study entry. ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Evaluation of the incidence of CTC grade 3 and 4 adverse events during and after treatment.

  • Duration in months of transfusion independence. [ Time Frame: At 12 months from study entry. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Effect of treatment on the underlying clonal B cell disorder. [ Time Frame: At 3 months from study entry. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Study Start Date: October 2012
Estimated Study Completion Date: March 2014

Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Bortezomib therapy
A single course of Bortezomib will be given at the dose of 1,3 mg/sqm iv on days 1, 4, 8, 11. Prophylaxis of HZ reactivation will be given with oral acyclovir at the dosage of 400 mg twice daily for one month after the end of Bortezomib.
Drug: Bortezomib

Detailed Description:

Based on its activity in MM, single agent Bortezomib was tested in phase II trials in lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, the disorder most frequently associated with CAD, and achieved 40-80% responses. These striking clinical responses indicate that proteasome activity is critical for the survival of immunoglobulin-secreting cells. The resolution of transfusion requirement in two patients with refractory CAD associated with IgMk monoclonal gammopathy has been reported after treatment with a short course of Bortezomib. It may be interesting to test the efficacy of Bortezomib in a larger series of patients with refractory CAD, idiopathic or associated with an otherwise asymptomatic B cell clonal disorder, and to evaluate the duration of clinical benefit.

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with chronic cold agglutinin disorder requiring or with a hemoglobin concentration below 10g/L determined at least monthly during the two months before entering the trial;
  • Failure of at least one previous treatment attempt;
  • Hemoglobin level assessment;
  • Cold agglutinin (CA) titer at 4°C of 64 or higher;
  • Written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Presence of a concomitant lymphoproliferative disorder requiring specific treatment for reasons other than cold agglutinin related hemolytic anemia;
  • Preexisting peripheral neuropathy;
  • Known hypersensitivity to Bortezomib;
  • Non-cooperative behaviour or non-compliance;
  • Psychiatric diseases or conditions that might impair the ability to give informed consent;
  • Patients who are pregnant (women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test). Post-menopausal women must be amenorrhoic for at least 24 months to be considered of non-childbearing potential. Male and female patients must agree to employ an effective barrier method of birth control throughout the study and for up to 3 months following discontinuation of study drug.
