New drug combo aims to keep blood cancer at bay after transplant

NCT ID NCT02619682

Summary

This study tested a two-drug maintenance therapy given after a patient's own stem cell transplant to help prevent multiple myeloma from coming back. Thirty patients received alternating cycles of two oral medications (ixazomib and lenalidomide) for up to two years. The main goal was to check the safety of this approach and see if it could extend the time patients remained cancer-free.
