Excluded are those with recent surgeries or other treatments, certain infections (HIV/HBV/HCV), another cancer within 2 years (with exceptions), known allergies to similar drugs, or any previous ixazomib treatment.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a new drug combo: Ixazomib with Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone in patients with Smoldering Multiple Myeloma. It aims to see if this combination can help manage the condition before it progresses further.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include digestive issues, blood clots, nerve damage (neuropathy), rash or allergic reactions due to Lenalidomide; fatigue and low blood counts from Dexamethasone; and gastrointestinal symptoms from Ixazomib.
