Study Summary

This trial is testing how well lenalidomide alone or with ixazomib citrate and dexamethasone works in treating patients with multiple myeloma that remains after a donor stem cell transplant.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for multiple myeloma patients with residual disease after a donor stem cell transplant. They must have been on lenalidomide maintenance for 3-4 months, have measurable residual disease, and proper organ function. Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to effective contraception methods. Exclusions include uncontrolled conditions like heart issues or diabetes, recent infections or surgeries, other cancer treatments within 30 days, certain drug allergies, severe neuropathy, CNS involvement, and QTc >470 msec.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares the effectiveness of lenalidomide alone versus in combination with ixazomib citrate and dexamethasone in treating remaining multiple myeloma post-transplant. Lenalidomide may boost the immune system's ability to kill cancer cells; ixazomib could interfere with cancer cell growth; dexamethasone aims to stop cancer spread.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune system complications due to lenalidomide; gastrointestinal issues from ixazomib citrate affecting absorption or tolerance; blood sugar changes from dexamethasone use; fatigue; infection risk increase due to weakened immunity.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

How many participants are currently in this clinical research study?

"This clinical trial has already concluded its recruitment process. Initially posted on March 2nd 2015, the last edit was made to this study's page on October 5th 2021. However, there are currently 822 trials open for enrolment related to multiple myeloma and 714 studies accepting participants for Ixazomib Citrate treatments."

Answered by AI

What medical purposes is Ixazomib Citrate commonly employed to treat?

"Ixazomib Citrate has been proven successful in treating ophthalmia, sympathetic disorders, those with a history of at least two systemic chemotherapy regimens, and branch retinal vein occlusion."

Answered by AI

Is recruitment currently open for this experiment?

"Sadly, this experiment is no longer enrolling participants. Initially posted on March 2nd 2015, the study was most recently updated October 5th 2021. For those seeking alternatives there are 822 clinical trials actively recruiting patients with multiple myeloma and 714 studies accepting applicants for Ixazomib Citrate treatments."

Answered by AI

Has the FDA granted authorization to Ixazomib Citrate?

"Our team at Power believes that Ixazomib Citrate carries a level of safety rated as 2. This is because this medication has only successfully passed Phase 2 trials, which indicate the presence of some evidence for its security, but no proof regarding its efficacy yet."

Answered by AI

Are there any related investigations that have utilized Ixazomib Citrate?

"Currently, there are 714 trials dedicated to Ixazomib Citrate; 168 of those studies have progressed into the third phase. Although the majority of these research projects are conducted in Joliet, Illinois, a total of 25 980 sites around the world offer patients this treatment."
