Phase 1 Pharmacokinetic Study of Oral Ixazomib Plus Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone in Adult Asian Participants With Relapsed and/or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

A Phase 1 Pharmacokinetic and Tolerability Study of Oral MLN9708 Plus Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone in Adult Asian Patients With Relapsed and/or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

The purpose of this Phase 1 study is to characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) and tolerability of oral ixazomib (MLN9708) when administered in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone in adult Asian participants with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma.

The drug being tested in this study was ixazomib. Ixazomib was tested to treat adult Asian people who had relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma.

The study enrolled 43 patients. Participants were enrolled to receive:

• Ixazomib 4 mg + Lenalidomide 25 mg + Dexamethasone 40 mg.

All participants were asked to take ixazomib capsules orally on Days 1, 8, and 15; lenalidomide capsules, orally, on Days 1 through 21; and dexamethasone tablets, orally, on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of a 28-day treatment cycle until progressive disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity (up to 20 cycles).

This multi-center trial was conducted in Singapore, Hong Kong and South Korea. The overall time to participate in this study was up to 577 days. Participants made multiple visits to the clinic, and were contacted 30 days after last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.
