Ixazomib Citrate, Cyclophosphamide and Dexamethasone in Treating Newly Diagnosed Participants with Primary Amyloidosis
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of ixazomib citrate when given together with cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone and to see how well it works in treating participants with primary amyloidosis. 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 cyclophosphamide and 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 ixazomib citrate together with cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone may work better in treating participants with primary amyloidosis.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To establish the moderate tolerated dose (MTD) of ixazomib citrate (ixazomib) given in combination with cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone in newly diagnosed patients with immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis. (Phase I)
II. To determine the hematologic response rate (complete response [CR], very good partial response [VGPR], partial response [PR]) after each cycle, and best response to ixazomib given in combination with cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone in newly diagnosed patients with AL amyloidosis. (Phase 2)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the safety and toxicity of this regimen.
II. To determine the frequency of organ response as per International society of Amyloidosis (ISA) criteria after 3 cycles, 6 cycles and at 1 year post treatment initiation.
III. To evaluate the ability to successfully collect peripheral blood stem cells following combination therapy in patients who elect to have their stem cells collected for the purposes of transplant or for long term freezing.
IV. To determine progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and time to next therapy (TTNT).
OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of ixazomib and cyclophosphamide followed by phase II study.
Participants receive ixazomib orally (PO) on days 1, 8, and 15, cyclophosphamide PO on days 1, 8, and 15, and dexamethasone orally PO on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, participants without disease progression are followed up every month for the first year then every 8 weeks for the second year. No follow up required for participants with disease progression on study.
