Teclistamab In Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy of teclistamab in participants with relapsed or refractory Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia who have received prior therapy. This study also aims to assess the safety and tolerability of teclistamab, how quickly and to what extent response is seen in participants, how strong any clinical benefit of teclistamab might be, and determine the response to teclistamab based on the combination of MY88 and CXCR4 mutations. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Will teclistamab be effective in treating Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia? * By targeting BCMA with teclistamab, will direct Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia tumor death occur? Participants will receive teclistamab for up to 9 cycles (cycle 1 is 14 days, cycles 2-5 are 28 days, and cycles 6-9 are 56 days) or until their disease progresses, another illness or change in their condition prevents them from further receiving the treatment, they experience unacceptable side effects, they demonstrate an inability or unwillingness to receive the medication regimen, or they decide to withdraw from the study. Participants will be followed for up to 3 years from the last treatment.

Questionnaire and Tissue Banking For Multiple Myeloma, Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia and Related Disorders

The purpose of this study is to obtain bone marrow and peripheral blood samples, along with clinical data from patients with Multiple Myeloma (MM), Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia (WM), Smoldering MM, and other lymphoplasmacytic lymphomas (LPL) including but not limited to MGUS and IgG or IgA LPL. These samples will become part of a tissue bank and will be used in ongoing studies to find out more about the causes and biology of MM, WM and LPL; to identify what factors result in normal cells becoming cancer; to determine how to improve treatment options; to study how the immune system identifies abnormal cells; and to evaluate the immune function in these diseases. The investigators will also study the tumor cells at the level of the participant's genes to develop treatment strategies as well as to better understand how biologic differences affect patient outcomes.

Bortezomib and Rituximab for Patients With Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia

The main goal of this clinical research study is to learn if Velcade ® (bortezomib) given with rituximab can help to control WM. This drug combination will allow researchers to collect your stem cells in case it is possible to transplant the stem cells as treatment if your WM gets worse. Researchers will also look at the safety and tolerability of this drug combination followed by treatment with other drug combinations.
