Study Summary

This trial study looks at the effects of ixazomib citrate on patients with multiple myeloma who have had a relapse, but are still responsive to bortezomib. Ixazomib citrate may prevent cancer cell growth by blocking some of the enzymes necessary for cell growth.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with relapsed multiple myeloma who are not resistant to bortezomib. They should have recovered from previous treatments, have adequate organ function, and no severe concurrent illnesses. Those with certain infections or a recent history of other cancers (except nonmelanoma skin cancer) are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests ixazomib citrate's effectiveness in treating relapsed multiple myeloma when it's not refractory to bortezomib. It includes dexamethasone, cyclophosphamide, daratumumab, and lab biomarker analysis to see if the drug can halt cancer cell growth by blocking key enzymes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include fatigue, digestive issues like diarrhea or nausea, blood disorders such as low platelet counts or anemia, nerve damage that could cause pain or numbness (peripheral neuropathy), and increased risk of infection due to immune system suppression.

Trial Design

5Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Arm E (ixazomib citrate, cyclophosphamide, daratumumab)Experimental Treatment5 Interventions
Patients receive ixazomib citrate PO on days 1, 8, and 15, cyclophosphamide PO (cycles 1-12 only) on days 1, 8, 15, 22, and daratumumab IV on days 1, 8, 15, 22 (cycles 1-2), days 1 and 15 (cycles 3-6), and day 1 in all subsequent cycles. Patients also receive dexamethasone IV or PO on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group II: Arm D (ixazomib citrate, dexamethasone, and cyclophosphamide)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Patients receive ixazomib citrate PO on days 1, 8, and 15 and cyclophosphamide PO (cycles 1-18 only) and dexamethasone PO on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group III: Arm C (higher-dose ixazomib citrate and dexamethasone)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients receive higher doses of ixazomib citrate PO on days 1, 8, and 15 and dexamethasone PO on days 1, 8, and 15. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group IV: Arm B (ixazomib citrate and dexamethasone)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients receive ixazomib citrate PO on days 1, 8, and 15 and dexamethasone PO on days 1, 8, and 15. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group V: Arm A (ixazomib citrate and dexamethasone, closed to accrual)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients receive ixazomib citrate PO on days 1, 8, and 15. Patients with lack of minor response by the end of the second cycle or lack of partial response by the end of the fourth cycle also receive dexamethasone PO on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
