Response evaluation:
Throughout the treatment period, especially before "end of treatment (EOT) + 3 months (EVAL 2 ) evaluation":
* if a CR is suspected (negative IF), an unscheduled CT scan should be done followed by biological evaluations including BM biopsy (local laboratory) to confirm CR
* If a VGPR is suspected (≥90% reduction in serum M-protein (monoclonal IgM) level from baseline (but still detectable) and decreased lymphadenopathy/ splenomegaly (if present at baseline), an unscheduled CT scan should be done to confirm VGPR.
Evaluation 1 (EVAL 1): 1 month after the end of treatment This evaluation takes place 1 month after EOT either after completion of cycle 20 or after the last cycle in case of early discontinuation. This evaluation may detect M-protein rebound with or without other features of early progression.
Clinical assessments:

Evaluation in case of suspected CR At any time throughout the study, especially before "EOT evaluation" when a CR is suspected based on a negative immunofixation, an additional evaluation should be realized in order to confirm the CR.
This additional evaluation includes primarily:
* Repeated screening for cryoglobulinemia, in patients known to have significant cryoglobulinemia at screening.
* CT scan
Then, if both immunofixation and CT scan are consistent with CR, a biological assessment should be scheduled with:

This additional evaluation includes:
* Repeated screening for cryoglobulinemia, in patients known to have significant cryoglobulinemia at screening.
* CT scan: to confirm the reduction of deep-seated lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly (if present at baseline)
Evaluation in case of progression during treatment and follow-up period
* BM biopsy optional (local laboratory)
* BM aspirate, indicated according to study only in case of progression for :

Premature end of treatment (PEOT) A visit will be performed 4 weeks (EVAL 1) and 3 months (EVAL 2) after the last treatment day for patients who discontinue treatment prematurely and for patients withdrawing their consent (if possible),
In case of PEOT for disease progression, patients will be evaluated
End of study (EOS) The end of study becomes effective after the end of the last study visit of the last patient enrolled once the FU36 visit has been achieved. The end of study visit corresponds to the last follow-up visit (FU36). For patients withdrawing consent during the follow up period, no end of study visit is required.
Observational study For all patients if they consent, the survival data will be collected every year for an observational study, in the e-CRF (Survival date and/or event date) until death, for OS analysis.
