Description
Summary
This randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of pomalidomide and ixazomib when given together with dexamethasone and to see how well pomalidomide and dexamethasone with or without ixazomib works in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back. Biological therapies, such as pomalidomide and dexamethasone, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Ixazomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether pomalidomide and dexamethasone are more effective with or without ixazomib in treating multiple myeloma.
Official Title
A Phase I/II Study of Pomalidomide, Dexamethasone and Ixazomib vs. Pomalidomide and Dexamethasone for Patients With Multiple Myeloma Relapsing on Lenalidomide as Part of First Line Therapy
Details
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- To establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for combination therapy pomalidomide/dexamethasone/ixazomib. (Phase I) II. To assess whether the combination of pomalidomide/dexamethasone/ixazomib improves progression-free survival (PFS) relative to pomalidomide/dexamethasone. (Phase II)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
- To determine dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs). (Phase I) II. To analyze type and grade of all serious adverse events (SAEs). (Phase I) III. To analyze type and grade of all adverse events (AEs). (Phase I) IV. To analyze the reason for and incidence of dose modifications/omissions/delays. (Phase I) V. To assess preliminary evidence of clinical efficacy. (Phase I) VI. To assess whether the overall response rate (ORR), partial response (PR), very good partial response (VGPR), complete response (CR) or stringent CR (sCR) rate differ with respect to treatment regimen. (Phase II) VII. To assess the clinical benefit rate (CBR: minimal response [MR] + ORR) for pomalidomide/dexamethasone/ixazomib compared to pomalidomide/dexamethasone. (Phase II) VIII. To assess the disease control rate (DCR: stable disease [SD] + CBR) for pomalidomide/dexamethasone/ixazomib compared to pomalidomide/dexamethasone. (Phase II) IX. For those patients achieving a PR or better, we will assess whether the combination of pomalidomide/dexamethasone/ixazomib increases the duration of response (DOR) compared to pomalidomide/dexamethasone. (Phase II) X. To assess whether the combination of pomalidomide/dexamethasone/ixazomib improves overall survival (OS) compared to those taking pomalidomide/dexamethasone alone. (Phase II) XI. To assess time to next treatment (TNT) for patients taking pomalidomide/dexamethasone/ixazomib compared to those on pomalidomide/dexamethasone. (Phase II) XII. To evaluate the safety of pomalidomide/dexamethasone/ixazomib compared with pomalidomide/dexamethasone. (Phase II) XIII. For patients on the pomalidomide/dexamethasone arm who opt to cross-over to the pomalidomide/dexamethasone/ixazomib arm, assessment of response rate (ORR, CBR, DCR), DOR, TNT, PFS and OS will be evaluated from date of cross-over. (Phase II) XIV. To determine if baseline level of perceived fatigue and overall quality of life (QOL) is associated with OS. (Phase II)
OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of pomalidomide and ixazomib followed by a phase II study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 4 weeks until disease progression and then every 3 months for 3 years.

Eligibility
For people ages 18 years and up
- Histologically confirmed diagnosis of symptomatic multiple myeloma; relapsed disease is myeloma that has previously responded to prior therapy (MR or better) and subsequently progressed
- Patient must have measurable disease or non-measurable disease, defined as one or more of the following holding true:
- Measurable disease:
- Serum M-protein >= 1.0 g/dL (>= 0.5 g/dL for IgA or IgM myeloma) and/or
- Urine M-protein >= 200 mg/24 hours and/or
- Involved serum free light chain level >= 10 mg/dL AND an abnormal serum free light chain ratio
- For non-measurable disease:
- Baseline marrow burden of myeloma of at least 30%
- Measurable disease:
- Progression on lenalidomide as part of first line therapy (lenalidomide-refractory disease)
- Lenalidomide-refractory disease is defined as disease progression on or progression within 60 days of the last dose of a lenalidomide-based treatment; patients should have received at least 2 cycles of a lenalidomide-based regimen to be evaluable for refractoriness; examples: 1) progression on lenalidomide maintenance therapy after initial induction +/- consolidation; 2) initial response followed by progression on continuous lenalidomide-dexamethasone +/- elotuzumab or daratumumab
- Pomalidomide naive disease
- Proteasome inhibitor naive or sensitive disease; proteasome inhibitor sensitive disease is defined as a PR or better to prior proteasome inhibitor-based therapy that is maintained for >= 60 days from the last dose of the proteasome inhibitor
- A patient who receives induction therapy with lenalidomide, bortezomib and dexamethasone and achieves a PR or better but subsequently progresses on continued lenalidomide or lenalidomide-dexamethasone would be eligible provided the progression occurs 60 days or more after discontinuation of the bortezomib; similarly, ixazomib exposure is allowed provided they meet the definition of proteasome inhibitor sensitive disease
- 1 prior line of systemic therapy for multiple myeloma, where a line of therapy for myeloma is defined as 1 or more planned cycles of single agent or combination therapy, as well as a planned series of treatment regimens administered in a sequential manner (e.g. lenalidomide, bortezomib and dexamethasone induction therapy for 4 cycles followed by autologous stem cell transplantation and then lenalidomide maintenance therapy would be considered 1 line of prior therapy); a new line of therapy begins when a planned therapy is modified to include other treatment agents (alone or in combination) as a result of disease progression, disease relapse or treatment-related toxicity (e.g. a patient is progressing in the face of lenalidomide maintenance therapy and has bortezomib and dexamethasone added into their regimen); a new line of therapy also begins when a planned treatment-free interval is interrupted by the need to start treatment due to disease relapse/progression (e.g. a patient with relapsed myeloma achieves a partial response after a planned 8 cycles of cyclophosphamide, bortezomib and dexamethasone, enjoys an 8-month period off therapy but then experiences disease progression requiring re-initiation of therapy)
- Allogeneic stem cell transplantation is allowed provided the patient is >= 1 year from transplant at time of registration, is not on immunosuppressive therapy to treat/prevent graft-versus-host disease, has no evidence of active graft versus host disease, and no evidence of active infection
