Brief summary: This study will assess the efficacy of daratumumab in combination with ixazomib and dexamethasone as second line treatment for relapsed Multiple Myeloma patients.

Detailed description: This is a Phase 2, single-arm study of daratumumab in combination with ixazomib and dexamethasone as second line treatment for relapsed Multiple Myeloma patients initially treated with lenalidomide-based regimens. Daratumumab is a human IgG1ĸ monoclonal antibody that binds with high affinity to a unique epitope on CD38, a transmembrane glycoprotein. It is a targeted immunotherapy that attacks tumor cells that overexpress CD38, in a variety of hematological malignancies including multiple myeloma. Ixazomib is an orally administered proteasome inhibitor with anti-myeloma activity.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Males and females at least 18 years of age.
2. Voluntary written informed consent before performance of any study-related procedure.
3. Relapsed patients with measurable disease parameters according to the IMWG:

   * IgG multiple myeloma: Serum M-protein level ≥1.0 g/dL or urine M-protein level ≥200 mg/24 hours, or
   * IgA, IgD, IgE, IgM multiple myeloma: Serum M-protein level ≥0.5 g/dL or urine M-protein level ≥200 mg/24 hours; or
   * Light chain multiple myeloma, for patients without measurable disease in the serum or urine: Serum immunoglobulin FLC ≥10 mg/dL and abnormal serum immunoglobulin kappa lambda FLC ratio.
4. Patients who have received one prior regimen for MM based on lenalidomide (induction followed by any planned high dose therapy or consolidation or maintenance would be considered as one regimen).
5. Patients must have documented evidence of PD based on the investigator's determination of response as defined by the modified IMWG criteria.
6. Willingness and ability to participate in study procedures.
7. Patient has a Karnofsky Performance Status ≥ 70.
8. For patients experiencing toxicities resulting from previous therapy, the toxicities must be resolved or stabilized to ≤ Grade 1.
9. Patients with adequate bone marrow reserve, as evidenced by:

   1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.0×10\^9/L.
   2. Platelet count ≥ 75×10\^9/L for patients in whom \< 50% of bone marrow nucleated cells are plasma cells and ≥ 50×10\^9/L for patients in whom ≥ 50% of bone marrow nucleated cells are plasma cells (transfusions are not permitted to reach this level).
10. All of the following results during Screening:

    1. Hemoglobin level ≥8 g/dL (≥ 4.65 mmol/L) (transfusions are not permitted to reach this level).
    2. Creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min by CKD-EPI.
    3. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level ≤ 2.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN).
    4. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level ≤ 2.5×ULN.
    5. Total bilirubin level ≤ 1.5×ULN, (except for Gilbert Syndrome: direct bilirubin ≤1.5×ULN).
    6. Serum calcium corrected for albumin ≤ 14.0 mg/dL (≤ 3.5 mmol/L), or free ionized calcium ≤ 6.5 mg/dL (≤ 1.6 mmol/L).

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Previous exposure to anti-CD38 antibodies or ixazomib.
2. Systemic treatment with or strong CYP3A inducers (rifampin, rifapentine, rifabutin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital), or use of St. John's wort within 14 days before C1D1.
3. Patient has received anti-myeloma treatment within 2 weeks or 5 pharmacokinetic half-lives of the treatment, whichever is longer, prior to C1D1. The only exception is emergency use of a short course of corticosteroids (equivalent of dexamethasone 40 mg/day for a maximum of 4 days) for palliative treatment before C1D1.
4. Previous allogenic stem cell transplant; or autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) within 12 weeks before C1D1.
5. Patient has received radiotherapy within 14 days of C1D1. Urgent localized radiotherapy for Spinal Cord Compression is allowed.

History of malignancy (other than MM) within 3 years before C1D1 (exceptions are squamous and basal cell carcinomas of the skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix or breast, or other noninvasive lesion that in the opinion of the investigator, with concurrence with the Sponsor's medical monitor, is considered cured with minimal risk of recurrence within 3 years).
7. Clinical signs of meningeal involvement of MM.
8. Patient has clinically significant cardiac disease, including: unstable angina or myocardial infarction within 6 months to C1D1, NYHA Class III or IV heart failure, uncontrolled angina, history of severe coronary artery disease, severe uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmias, sick sinus syndrome, or electrocardiographic evidence of acute ischemia or Grade 3 conduction system abnormalities unless patient has a pacemaker, or ECG showing a baseline QT interval as corrected by Fridericia's formula (QTcF) \> 470 msec.
