Official title: An Open-Label, Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Oral Combination of Ixazomib (MLN9708) With Cyclophosphamide and Dexamethasone in Patients With Newly Diagnosed or Relapsed and/or Refractory Multiple Myeloma Requiring Systemic Treatment
This is a phase 2, multicenter, open-label study in patients with Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma (NDMM) who have not received prior systemic treatment for multiple myeloma (MM) and who are ineligible for high-dose therapy (HDT)-stem cell transplantation (SCT) due to age (ie, ≥ 65 years) or comorbid disease(s) or with Relapsed and/or Refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM).
Read the detailed description
The investigational drug being tested in this study is called MLN9708 also known as Ixazomib. This study will look at disease response rates and safety in people who take ixazomib in addition to cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone. NDMM participants will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of two treatment groups and RRMM participants will be assigned to a third group:
- NDMM - ixazomib (MLN9708) 4.0 mg + cyclophosphamide 300 mg/m^2 + dexamethasone 40 mg
- NDMM - ixazomib (MLN9708) 4.0 mg + cyclophosphamide 400 mg/m^2 + dexamethasone 40 mg
- RRMM - ixazomib (MLN9708) 4.0 mg + cyclophosphamide 300 mg/m^2 + dexamethasone 40 mg
The study enrolled 148 participants. This multi-centre trial will be conducted in the United States, European Union, and Australia.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This is a phase 2, multicenter, open-label study in patients with Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma (NDMM) who have not received prior systemic treatment for multiple myeloma (MM) and who are ineligible for high-dose therapy (HDT)-stem cell transplantation (SCT) due to age (ie, ≥ 65 years) or comorbid disease(s) or with Relapsed and/or Refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM).
Detailed description
The investigational drug being tested in this study is called MLN9708 also known as Ixazomib. This study will look at disease response rates and safety in people who take ixazomib in addition to cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone. NDMM participants will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of two treatment groups and RRMM participants will be assigned to a third group:
- NDMM - ixazomib (MLN9708) 4.0 mg + cyclophosphamide 300 mg/m^2 + dexamethasone 40 mg
- NDMM - ixazomib (MLN9708) 4.0 mg + cyclophosphamide 400 mg/m^2 + dexamethasone 40 mg
- RRMM - ixazomib (MLN9708) 4.0 mg + cyclophosphamide 300 mg/m^2 + dexamethasone 40 mg
The study enrolled 148 participants. This multi-centre trial will be conducted in the United States, European Union, and Australia.

Key inclusion criteria (32 listed)
- Each participant with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be enrolled in the study:
- Adult male or female participants 18 years of age or older with a confirmed diagnosis of symptomatic multiple myeloma (MM) according to standard criteria.
- Participants for whom cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone treatment is appropriate and who are considered not eligible for high-dose therapy (HDT)-stem cell transplantation (SCT) for 1 or more of the following reasons:
- Each participant with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be enrolled in the study:
- Adult male or female participants 18 years or older with a confirmed diagnosis of symptomatic MM either currently or at the time of initial diagnosis, according to standard criteria, and relapsed and/or refractory disease after 1 to 3 lines of prior therapy. A participant is considered to have refractory disease if disease progression occurred during the treatment period or within 60 days of receiving the last dose of a given therapy. A line of therapy is defined as 1 or more cycles of a single-agent or combination therapy or a sequence of planned treatments such as induction therapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) and then maintenance therapy.
Key exclusion criteria (16 listed)
- Prior treatment for multiple myeloma with either standard of care treatment or investigational regimen (for participants with NDMM only).
- NOTE: Prior treatment with corticosteroids (maximum dose of corticosteroids should not exceed the equivalent of 160 mg of dexamethasone over 14 days. Localized radiation is permitted as long as it is below a therapeutic level and administered at least 14 days prior to the first dose of study treatment.
- Diagnosis of smoldering MM, Waldenström's macroglobulinemia, POEMS (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy, and skin changes) syndrome, plasma cell leukemia, primary amyloidosis, myelodysplastic syndrome, or myeloproliferative syndrome.
- Central nervous system involvement.
- Diagnosed or treated for another malignancy within 2 years before the first dose or previously diagnosed with another malignancy and have any evidence of residual disease. Participants with nonmelanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of any type are not excluded if they have undergone complete resection.
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening; this overview does not establish that a patient qualifies. Full inclusion and exclusion criteria.

- Individual participant dataSharing planned: Yes. Takeda makes patient-level, de-identified data sets and associated documents available after applicable marketing approvals and commercial availability have been received, an opportunity for the primary publication of the research has been allowed, and other criteria have been met as set forth in Takeda's Data Sharing Policy (see www.TakedaClinicalTrials.com/Approach for details). To obtain access, researchers must submit a legitimate academic research proposal for adjudication by an independent review panel, who will review the scientific merit of the research and the requestor's qualifications and conflict of interest that can result in potential bias. Once approved, qualified researchers who sign a data sharing agreement are provided access to these data in a secure research environment.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 32 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 24 sites in United States, Australia, Poland, Greece, Sweden. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Jul 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Combined Response Rate During the Induction Phase in Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma (NDMM) Participants (time frame: Day 1 of Cycles 1-13, 28-day cycles (Up to 1 year)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02046070, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Jul 2019.
