About this study

Official title: Phase I Clinical Trial of Venetoclax (ABT-199) in Combination with Ixazomib and Dexamethasone for Patients with Relapsed Multiple Myeloma

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of venetoclax when given together with ixazomib citrate and dexamethasone and to see how well they work in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back. Venetoclax and ixazomib citrate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving venetoclax together with ixazomib citrate and dexamethasone may work better in treating patients with multiple myeloma.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of venetoclax in combination with ixazomib citrate (ixazomib) and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma (MM). (Phase 1)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To describe toxicities associated with venetoclax, in combination with ixazomib and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed MM. (Phase 1)

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To explore levels of BCL-2 family member proteins (BCL-2, BCL-x, MCL-1) on bone marrow biopsies using ribonucleic acid sequencing (RNASeq) and immunohistochemistry.

OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of venetoclax followed by a phase II study.

Patients receive venetoclax orally (PO) daily on days 1-28, ixazomib citrate PO once weekly on days 1, 8, and 15, and dexamethasone PO on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 for courses 1-12. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 or 6 months for 3 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of venetoclax in combination with ixazomib and dexamethasone (Phase 1)

    Defined as the dose level below the lowest dose that induces dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in at least one-third of patients (at least 2 of a maximum of 6 new patients). Will be examined in an exploratory and hypothesis-generating fashion.

    Measured: Up to 28 days

  2. Overall survival

    The distribution of overall survival will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.

    Measured: Time from registration to death due to any cause, assessed up to 3 years

  3. Progression-free survival

    The distribution of progression-free survival will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.

    Measured: Time from registration to the earliest date of documentation of disease progression or death due to any cause, assessed up to 3 years

  4. Rate of confirmed response defined as a patient who has achieved an stringent complete response (sCR), complete response (CR), very good partial response (VGPR), or partial response (PR) on two consecutive evaluations (Phase 2)

    The proportion of successes will be estimated by the number of successes divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Ninety-five percent confidence intervals for the true success proportion will be calculated according to the approach of Duffy and Santner.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  5. Rate of confirmed response in patients with t(11;14) translocation

    Will be estimated by the number of patients with a confirmed sCR, CR, VGPR, or PR divided by the total number of evaluable patients with t(11;14) translocation. Exact binomial 95% confidence intervals for the true success proportion will be calculated.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  6. Rate of CR defined as the number of patients with an sCR or CR divided by the total number of evaluable patients

    Exact binomial 95% confidence intervals for the true success proportion will be calculated.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of adverse events

    The maximum grade for each type of adverse event will be recorded for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine patterns. Additionally, the relationship of the adverse event(s) to the study treatment will be taken into consideration.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Dexamethasone, Ixazomib Citrate and Laboratory Biomarker Analysis in people with Recurrent Plasma Cell Myeloma and T(11;14), run by Mayo Clinic at 3 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 27 inclusion and 21 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 4 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of venetoclax in combination with ixazomib and dexamethasone (Phase 1) (time frame: Up to 28 days). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 Nov 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
