Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematologic malignancy with an estimated annual incidence of nearly 35,000 cases. While still considered an incurable disease, new treatments have improved outcomes dramatically over the last two decades. Around the turn of the millennium, classical cytotoxic chemotherapy and radiation were the only available treatment modalities and median OS was estimated at 2-3 years. Currently, there are now 17 FDA-approved anti-myeloma agents and median OS is approaching 10 years. More recently, next generation cellular and immune therapies are demonstrating unprecedented efficacy in highly refractory patients with otherwise a very short life expectancy. In this study, the starting dose of ixazomib will be reduced to 3mg, as this is the first FDA-recommended dose recommendation (from 4mg). The starting dose of mezigdomide will be 0.6mg. Frequent toxicity and AE monitoring as outlined in this trial (weekly in C1, every 2 weeks in C2-C4) asserts maximization of patient safety. Dexamethasone (DEX) will be dosed at 40mg weekly in patients < 75 years old and 20mg for patients > 76 years old. Additionally, the staring dose of DEX may be reduced to 20mg in any patient, per study provider discretion, based on several factors such frailty, prior adverse side effects or existing comorbidities.

Study Type
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies. |

Trial ID:
This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries. |
NCT06050512 |
Phase
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use. |
