NCT ID NCT02461888
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 2 trial tested a three-drug combination (ixazomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone) in 112 patients with multiple myeloma that had returned or stopped responding to three previous treatments. The goal was to see if adding ixazomib to standard chemotherapy could help control the disease longer. The study is now complete.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for multiple myeloma patients who have stopped responding to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a phase 2 trial with only 112 participants, so results are preliminary. The combination may not work better than existing treatments and could have side effects.
