Ixazomib Plus Pomalidomide and Dexamethasone in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Participant gender:
All
Summary
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of ixazomib and to see how well it works when given together with pomalidomide and dexamethasone in treating patients with relapsed or relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. Ixazomib may stop the growth of cancer by interfering with proteasomes (the protein breakdown mechanism in the cells). Pomalidomide and dexamethasone can modify and regulate the immune system and may stop cancer cells from growing. Giving ixazomib with pomalidomide and dexamethasone may be an effective treatment for relapsed or relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- Voluntary written informed consent must be given before performance of any study
related procedure not part of standard medical care, with the understanding that
consent may be withdrawn by the patient at any time without prejudice to future
medical care

- Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy
test with a sensitivity of at least 25 mIU/mL within 10-14 days prior to and again
within 24 hours of starting pomalidomide or MLN9708 and must either commit to
continued abstinence from heterosexual intercourse or begin TWO acceptable methods of
birth control, one highly effective method and one additional effective method AT THE
SAME TIME, at least 28 days before she starts taking pomalidomide or MLN9708 through
90 days after the last dose of study drug; FCBP must also agree to ongoing pregnancy
testing; men must agree to use a latex condom during sexual contact with a FCBP even
if they have had a vasectomy from the time of signing the informed consent form
through 90 days after the last dose of study drug; all patients must be counseled at a
minimum of every 28 days about pregnancy precautions and risks of fetal exposure

- All patients enrolled into this trial, must be registered in and must comply with all
requirements of the POMALYST (pomalidomide) Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy
(REMS) program

- Patients must have a diagnosis of relapsed or relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma
with a minimum of one prior regimen and a maximum of 5 prior regimens

- Patients must have had therapy with a proteasome inhibitor and lenalidomide and be
refractory to lenalidomide according to the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG)
criteria definition of refractory disease (progressive disease on or within 60 days of
stopping lenalidomide)

- Patients must have measurable disease defined as one of the following:

- Serum M protein >= 0.5 g/dL

- Urine M protein >= 200 mg/24 hours

- Serum free light chain >= 10 mg/dL provided the free light chain (FLC) ratio is
abnormal

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0, 1, or 2

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1,000/mm^3

- Platelet count >= 75,000/uL for patients in whom < 50% of bone marrow nucleated cells
are plasma cells; or a platelet count >= 50,000/uL for patients in whom >= 50% of bone
marrow nucleated cells are plasma cells; platelet transfusions are not allowed within
3 days of last platelet assessment to confirm eligibility

- Total bilirubin =< 1.5 × the institutional upper limit of the normal range (IULN)

- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) =< 3 × IULN

- Calculated creatinine clearance >= 45 mL/min

Exclusion Criteria:

- Female patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding or have a positive serum pregnancy
test during the screening period

- Failure to have fully recovered (ie, =< grade 1 toxicity) from the reversible effects
of prior chemotherapy

- Prior therapy with a combination regimen containing pomalidomide except the 2 drug
combination of pomalidomide and dexamethasone

- Radiotherapy within 14 days before enrollment; if the involved field is small, 7 days
will be considered a sufficient interval between treatment and administration of the
MLN9708

days before study enrollment

- Evidence of current uncontrolled cardiovascular conditions, including uncontrolled
hypertension, uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmias, symptomatic congestive heart failure,
unstable angina, or myocardial infarction within the past 6 months
