Study of Bendamustine and Ixazomib (MLN9708) Plus Dexamethasone in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Overview

This Phase I/II study is designed to first identify doses of MLN9708 and bendamustine that are associated with an acceptable adverse event profile when delivered together in 28-day cycles. Additionally, the study aims to assess the efficacy of the combination in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. Responders (stable disease or more), will continue to receive up to 8 cycles total in the absence of further progressive disease.

  5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status and/or other performance status 0, 1, or 2.
  6. Allogeneic transplanted patients can be enrolled only if they have no ongoing transplant related side effects or GVHD).
  7. Patients must be at least 2 weeks from major surgery, radiation therapy, participation in other investigational trials and have recovered from clinically significant toxicities of these prior treatments.
  8. Patients must meet the following clinical laboratory criteria:
    • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,000/mm3 and platelet count ≥ 75,000/mm3.

  12. Known GI disease or GI procedure that could interfere with the oral absorption or tolerance of ixazomib including difficulty swallowing.
  13. Diagnosed or treated for another malignancy where the expected survival is less than 2 years will be excluded.
  14. Patient has ≥ Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy, or Grade 1 with pain on clinical examination during the screening period.
  15. Participation in other clinical trials, including those with other investigational agents not included in this trial, within 2 weeks of the start of this trial and throughout the duration of this trial.
