Study Summary

This trial is testing the combination of venetoclax, ixazomib citrate, and dexamethasone to treat patients with multiple myeloma that has returned.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with relapsed multiple myeloma who've had at least one prior treatment including a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory drug. They must be willing to use birth control, provide consent, have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks, and meet specific health criteria like certain blood cell counts. Pregnant women, those with recent major surgery or other cancers within the last two years (except certain skin cancers), and individuals on strong CYP3A inhibitors are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the combination of Venetoclax, Ixazomib Citrate, and Dexamethasone in patients whose multiple myeloma has returned. It aims to find the safest dose that works best by blocking enzymes cancer cells need to grow while also killing or stopping them from dividing.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, risk of infection due to low blood cell counts, possible liver issues indicated by changes in blood tests results. There may also be risks related to bone marrow suppression leading to anemia or bleeding problems.
