New hope for myeloma patients: switching to ixazomib after failed treatments?
NCT ID NCT05013190
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 72 adults with multiple myeloma who switch from a bortezomib- or carfilzomib-based treatment to an ixazomib-based regimen. Researchers are tracking side effects and how long patients go without the disease getting worse. The goal is to see if this switch is a good option in real-world settings.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ixazomib (NINLARO®)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could show that switching to ixazomib is a safe and effective option for multiple myeloma patients who have already tried bortezomib or carfilzomib.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may not prove cause and effect. It is also small (72 participants) and focused on Chinese patients, so findings may not apply to other populations.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Who was first diagnosed or first relapse MM participants using IMWG 2016 criteria. 2. Diagnosed with multiple myeloma using IMWG 2016 criteria and must be transplant ineligible as determined by their physician, or if transplant eligible, not expect to undergo transplant for at least 24 months after study enrollment. a. Stem cell harvest and mobilization regimen is acceptable if clinically indicated. But must first be confirmed by the Takeda Medical Monitor. 3. Who received bortezomib/carfilzomib-based triple-drug regimens as frontline treatment, including bortezomib+cyclophosphamide+dexamethasone (VCD), bortezomib+lenalidomide dexamethasone (VRD), bortezomib+doxorubicin+dexamethasone (PAD), bortezomib+thalidomide+dexamethasone (VTD), bortezomib+pomadomide+dexamethasone (VPD), or carfilzomib+lenalidomide+dexamethasone (KRD), carfilzomib+thalidomide+dexamethasone (KTD), carfilzomib+pomalidomide+dexamethasone (KPD). 4. Must achieve at least partial response (PR) as defined by IMWG criteria after bortezomib/carfilzomib-based initial therapy. 5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0-2. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Received a bortezomib/carfilzomib-based triple-drug regimens as initial therapy less than 2 cycles. 2. Failure to have fully recovered (that is, less than or equal to \[\<=\] Grade 1 toxicity) from the reversible effects of prior chemotherapy. 3. Have documented diagnosis of other cancers prior to the diagnosis of MM, excluding squamous and basal cell carcinomas of the skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix or breast, which is considered cured with minimal risk of recurrence within 3 years. 4. Has \>=Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy (PN), or Grade 1 with pain on clinical examination at the time of enrollment. 5. Previously been treated with ixazomib or participated in a study with ixazomib whether treated with ixazomib or not. 6. Have gastrointestinal (GI) disease or procedure that could interfere with the oral absorption or tolerance of ixazomib including difficulty swallowing. 7. Have an active systemic infection, active hepatitis B or C virus infection, or known human immunodeficiency virus positive.
