Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a randomized, Phase 2 study involving two arms evaluating the efficacy and safety of ixazomib alone and the combination of both ixazomib and lenalidomide as maintenance therapy for patients with multiple myeloma who have achieved at least partial response (PR) or better after receiving a bortezomib- and lenalidomide-containing combination front-line therapy.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma	Drug: Ixazomib Drug: Lenalidomide	Phase 2

Detailed Description

Patients who have achieved PR or better on a bortezomib- and lenalidomide-containing combination therapy will be randomized to receive maintenance therapy with 28-day cycles of either ixazomib alone or the combination of ixazomib and lenalidomide. If steroids were part of the patient's qualifying regimen, steroids will be administered using the same drug(s), schedule(s) and dose(s) as those of the last treatment cycle of the bortezomib-, lenalidomide- and steroid-containing regimen. Ixazomib will be administered per orem (PO) at 3 mg on days 1, 8 and 15 of 28-day cycles. Lenalidomide will be taken PO, once daily at the same dose as the last treatment on days 1 through 28 of the 28-day cycles. Patients will start the randomized maintenance therapy after receiving a minimum of 6 cycles of a bortezomib- and lenalidomide-containing combination treatment but may have received up to 8 cycles if they continued to show improvement in their response after the first 6 cycles. During cycle 1, patients will have clinical laboratory tests weekly (days 1, 8, 15 and 22) and MM disease assessments on day 22 to monitor for efficacy and potential toxicity. Beginning with cycle 2, patients will have clinical laboratory tests performed twice a month and MM disease assessments once a month. Patients will be treated until documentation of PD or if subject meets any of the treatment discontinuation criteria.

Female patients must be postmenopausal for at least 1 year before screening visit OR surgically sterile. If patient is female of childbeating potential (FCBP), patient must agree to practice two effective methods of contraception, at the same time, from the time of signing the informed consent form through 90 days after the last dose of study drug. FCBP must also adhere to the guidelines of any treatment-specific pregnancy prevention program AND agree to practice true abstinence when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. Periodic abstinence (e.g. calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.
Male patients, even if surgically sterilized (i.e., status post-vasectomy), must agree to one of the following:

To practice effective barrier contraception during the entire study treatment period and through 90 days after the last dose of study drug
To practice true abstinence when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients meeting any of the following exclusion criteria are not to be enrolled in the study:
