Study Summary
This trial will test if ixazomib is more effective and has less side effects than bortezomib.
Who is the study for?
Adults with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, good liver function, and a life expectancy of at least 6 months can join. They must be able to perform daily activities with ease (ECOG status 0-1) and agree to use effective contraception methods or practice abstinence. Excluded are those with moderate-to-severe peripheral neuropathy, recent surgery or radiotherapy, active infections, known allergies to study drugs, GI issues affecting drug absorption, uncontrolled heart conditions, certain drug interactions within the last two weeks.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a combination of Ixazomib (a newer drug potentially better than bortezomib), Cyclophosphamide and Dexamethasone in patients who haven't been treated for multiple myeloma before. The aim is to find out if this regimen is more effective and has fewer side effects like nerve damage compared to current treatments.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include low blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems; nerve damage which might cause pain or numbness; liver issues; allergic reactions; gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea or diarrhea; fatigue; and potential interference with other medications.

Frequently Asked Questions
These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.
Are participants being enrolled in this clinical trial at the current time?
"This study is no longer recruiting patients. Although it was last updated on 7/21/2022, the trial was originally posted on 8/1/2015. There are presently 827 trials actively enrolling patients with multiple myeloma and 1349 trials for Ixazomib actively enrolling participants if you are seeking other studies to participate in."
Answered by AI
What conditions does Ixazomib typically help ameliorate?
"Ixazomib is used to treat synovitis, but it has also been found helpful in managing ophthalmia, sympathetic nerve disorders, and various types of cancer including those effecting the lungs and retina."
Answered by AI
Are there any other scientific papers that mention Ixazomib?
"There are 1349 clinical trials currently underway for the use of Ixazomib. 278 of these studies have reached Phase 3 testing. The majority of these trials originate from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; however, there are 42384 total locations running similar tests."
Answered by AI
Could you please give an overview of Ixazomib's safety profile?
"While there is some data suggesting Ixazomib's safety, it is still in Phase 2 of clinical trials and has not been proven effective yet. Consequently, our team at Power only rates its safety as a 2."
Answered by AI
How many patients are included in the scope of this experiment?
"Though this particular clinical trial is not seeking new participants at the moment, there are plenty of other research studies that might be a better fit. There are 827 trials actively recruiting patients with multiple myeloma and 1349 Ixazomib trials enrolling patients right now."
