Trial tests stronger drug combo to keep blood cancer at bay

NCT ID NCT02389517

Summary

This study tested if adding two more drugs (ixazomib and dexamethasone) to a standard maintenance drug (lenalidomide) was better at controlling residual multiple myeloma after a stem cell transplant. It involved 42 patients who still had small amounts of cancer detectable after their initial treatment. The main goal was to see which treatment plan could better eliminate these last traces of cancer cells.
