About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Single-Arm, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness and Safety of Ixazomib (NINLARO®) in Combination With Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone (IRD) in Patients With Multiple Myeloma Previously Receiving a Bortezomib-Based Induction Regimen (US MM-6)

The main aim is to evaluate the effect of Ixazomib in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone on Multiple Myeloma disease progression at 2 years in participants who previously received a bortezomib-based induction regimen.

The study will enroll approximately 160 participants, who are enrolled after completing 3 cycles of chemotherapy (Bortezomib-Based Induction Regimen). They are then treated with Ixazomib in addition to lenalidomide and dexamethasone.

Read the detailed description

The drug being tested in this study is called Ixazomib. Ixazomib is being tested to treat people who have MM. This study will look at the effectiveness and safety in participants who take the all-oral combination of ixazomib added to lenalidomide and dexamethasone.

The study will enroll approximately 160 participants. Participants will initially receive:

  • Ixazomib 4 mg + lenalidomide 25 mg + dexamethasone 40 mg

Participants include MM participants who have received 3 cycles of a bortezomib-based induction regimen (as defined by current National Comprehensive Cancer Network [NCCN] guidelines) and have no evidence of PD following initial first-line therapy. All participants will be asked to take ixazomib 4 mg on Days 1, 8 and 15 and lenalidomide 25 mg from Day 1 through 21 and dexamethasone 40 mg on Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 in 28 day cycles until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity for up to 3 years.

Dose modifications of ixazomib, and/or lenalidomide and/or dexamethasone are allowed at the discretion of the physician.

This multi-center trial will be conducted in United States. It is anticipated that the treatment phase of this study will last up to 78 months, including 42 months for enrollment, and a 36-month IRD treatment period (39 cycles) with ixazomib and/or lenalidomide and/or dexamethasone for the last participant enrolled.

Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic as per their standard of care, and will be followed for PFS. After disease progression, participants will be followed-up for overall survival every 6 months until death or termination of the study by the sponsor.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as time from date of first administration of study drug regimen to date of first documentation of progressive disease (PD) based on local laboratory results and investigator's assessment using modified International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) response criteria or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: From date of first study drug administration until disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first (Up to 2 years).

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Percentage of Participants with Partial Response (PR), Very Good Partial Response (VGPR) and Complete Response (CR)

    Response is based on investigator's assessment using modified IMWG criteria.

    Measured: Day 1 of each cycle (every 28 days) until disease progression for up to 3 years.

  2. Duration of Response

    Duration of response is defined as the time from the date of first documentation of a PR or better to the date of first documentation of PD for responders.

    Measured: Day 1 of each cycle (every 28 days) until disease progression for up to 3 years.

  3. Duration of Treatment (DoT)

    DoT is defined as the time from the date of the first administration of the study drug regimen (IRD) to the date of the last administration of any of the 3 study drugs in the regimen.

    Measured: From the date of the first study drug administration to the date of the last administration of any of the 3 study drugs (Up to 3 years).

  4. Duration of Ixazomib Therapy

    Duration of ixazomib therapy is defined as the time from the date of the first administration of ixazomib therapy to the date of the last administration of ixazomib therapy.

    Measured: From the date of the first ixazomib administration to the date of the last ixazomib administration (Up to 3 years).

  5. Relative Dose Intensity (RDI) for Each Study Drug

    RDI for each study drug is defined as 100*(Total amount of dose taken)/(Total prescribed dose of treated cycles), where total prescribed dose equals [dose prescribed at enrollment * number of prescribed doses per cycle * the number of treated cycles].

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  6. Duration of Proteasome Inhibitor Therapy

    Duration of proteasome inhibitor therapy is defined as the time from the date of the first administration of bortezomib based therapy to the date of the last administration of the study drug (ixazomib).

    Measured: Up to 3 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ixazomib, Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Takeda at 21 sites in United States.

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 15 inclusion and 13 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 21 sites in United States. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: All participants on the study have concluded treatment, core study activities are complete, and the scientific goals of the study have been met.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Progression Free Survival (PFS) (time frame: From date of first study drug administration until disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first (Up to 2 years).). 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 NCT03173092, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 4 May 2026.
