Ixazomib Citrate, ONC201, and Dexamethasone in Treating Participants with Recurrent and/or Refractory Multiple Myeloma
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of ixazomib citrate when given together with Akt/ERK inhibitor ONC201 (ONC201) and dexamethasone in treating participants with multiple myeloma that has come back and/or does not respond to treatment. Ixazomib citrate and ONC201 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as 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, ONC201, and dexamethasone may work better in treating participants with multiple myeloma.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Evaluate the safety and tolerability of ixazomib citrate (ixazomib) in combination with ONC201 and dexamethasone. (Phase I)
II. To determine the efficacy of triplet therapy at two months following combination treatment initiation using the disease control rate defined as the proportion of patients with stable disease or better according to International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria. (Phase II)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the efficacy of triplet therapy using: best overall response rate (overall response rate [ORR] – including stringent complete response [sCR], complete response [CR], very good partial response [VGPR], and partial response [PR]), duration of response (DOR), clinical benefit rate (CBR), progression free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS).
II. To compare the pharmacodynamics and pharmacogenomic differences in responders to ONC201 alone versus those responding to triplet therapy versus nonresponders.
CORRELATIVE OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine genomic basis of response to ONC201, ixazomib, ONC201 and dexamethasone.
II. Perform a comprehensive assessment of the immune microenvironment.
OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose escalation study of ixazomib followed by a phase II study.
Participants receive ONC201 orally (PO) on days 1, 8, 15, 22. Participants also receive dexamethasone PO and ixazomib PO on days 1, 8, and 15. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up at 30 days, every 3 months for 1 year, and then every 6 months thereafter.
