Study Summary
This trial is testing a new drug, TAK-079, for people with multiple myeloma who have already tried other treatments. The goal is to find the best dose of the new drug to give people, and to see how well it works and how safe it is.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with newly diagnosed Multiple Myeloma who have measurable disease, can take blood clot prevention meds if on lenalidomide, and have a life expectancy over 3 months. They must not have had prior MM therapy (except certain cases), recent major surgery or radiation, other clinical trials within 4 weeks, severe allergies to study drugs, active infections or certain other cancers.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests the safety and optimal dose of TAK-079 combined with standard myeloma treatments like Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone. It also offers continued access to TAK-079 for those previously in related studies and assesses long-term safety.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include allergic reactions to the drug components, potential impact on organ function due to the disease's nature or treatment complications. Specific side effects of TAK-079 are not listed but may be similar to those of immunotherapies such as fatigue or infusion-related reactions.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment Phase: TAK-079 and VRdExperimental Treatment5 Interventions
TAK-079 subcutaneously, once weekly for 8 weeks, then once every 2 weeks for 16 weeks, and then once every 4 weeks thereafter, along with bortezomib, subcutaneously, once on Days 1, 8, and 15, for a maximum of 8 cycles, lenalidomide, orally, once daily for 21 days, and dexamethasone, orally or intravenously, once on Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 in each 28-day treatment until PD or unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, death, or termination of the study by sponsor for up to 2 years. The dosage of dexamethasone can be reduced for participants who are >75 years, have poorly controlled diabetes, or had prior intolerance to or AE from corticosteroid therapy.
Group II: Treatment Phase: TAK-079 and LenDexExperimental Treatment4 Interventions
TAK-079, subcutaneously, once weekly for 8 weeks, then once every 2 weeks for 16 weeks, and then once every 4 weeks thereafter, along with lenalidomide, orally, once daily for 21 days and dexamethasone, orally or intravenously, once on Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 in each 28-day treatment until progressive disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, death, or termination of the study by sponsor for up to 2 years. The dosage of dexamethasone can be reduced for participants who are greater than (>) 75 years, have poorly controlled diabetes, or had prior intolerance to or AE from corticosteroid therapy.
Group III: Safety Extension Phase: TAK-079 and, if applicable, backbone therapy (LenDex, VRd, or PomDex)Experimental Treatment5 Interventions
TAK-079 dosing and, if applicable, backbone therapy will be administered as per the schedule outlined in the parent study.

Eligibility Criteria:
This trial includes the following eligibility criteria:- Your heart's electrical activity, as shown on a test called an ECG, should not have a specific measurement (QTcF) higher than 470 milliseconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.
What detrimental effects might be linked to the use of TAK-079?
"The safety of TAK-079 is rated as a 1, due to the fact that this early stage clinical trial only has minimal evidence demonstrating its efficacy and security."
Answered by AI
Are new participants being recruited for this experiment presently?
"Unfortunately, recruitment for this trial ended on July 27th 2022. There are currently 807 clinical trials that are actively searching for patients with multiple myeloma and 752 studies recruiting participants to take part in TAK-079 research."
Answered by AI
What conditions is TAK-079 commonly prescribed to treat?
"TAK-079 is commonly prescribed for ophthalmia and sympathetic. Additionally, it may prove beneficial when treating conditions such as prior systemic chemotherapy regimens, branch retinal vein occlusion, or macular edema."
Answered by AI
Are there any reports of prior experiments with TAK-079?
"TAK-079 was first investigated in 2002 at Manitoba Blood & Marrow Transplant Program CancerCare Manitoba. Since then, a total of 1640 studies have been completed with 752 active research trials; many are being conducted from Houston, Texas."
Answered by AI
To what extent is this research being conducted across various facilities?
"Nine different medical centres are participating in this clinical trial, such as MD Anderson Cancer Center located in Houston, Good Samaritan Hospital of Cincinnati and Oregon Health & Science University situated in Portland. Additionally, 6 other sites are also involved."
Answered by AI
How many volunteers are participating in this medical experiment?
"At this moment, the trial is not looking for more participants. It was first posted on July 29th 2019 and last updated on July 27th 2022, so it has closed its recruitment phase. If you're interested in similar studies, 807 trials related to multiple myeloma are open now whilst 752 are recruiting patients with TAK-079 medication."
