study of oral ixazomib in adult participants with relapsed and/or refractory (rr) multiple myeloma

Conditions: Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Summary: this study will determine the safety profile, tolerability, and maximum tolerated dose (mtd) and disease response of ixazomib administered orally in participants with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma.

the drug being tested in this study is ixazomib. ixazomib is being tested to treat people who have multiple myeloma. this study will look at the safety and efficacy of ixazomib and will enroll approximately 60 participants. participants will receive ixazomib by oral capsule twice weekly on days 1, 4, 8, and 11 of a 21-day cycle. the study will consist of a dose escalation phase to determine the mtd, followed by an expansion phase in which participants will be treated at the mtd. this multi-center trial will be conducted in the united states. the overall time to participate in this study is 8 years.
